Sports Specific Training
The initial fitness assessment (45 minutes) consists of a comprehensive fitness and muscle testing procedure to evaluate an athlete’s physical abilities and identify any weaknesses or potential areas for injury. Power, speed, strength, and flexibility are also tested at this stage. The Strength and Conditioning Coach then designs a personalized workout program suited to the athlete’s needs. The first priority is to strengthen weaker muscles in order to reduce the risk of injury and achieve better overall strength and performance. Once the muscles identified as needing development have been strengthened, focus is placed on developing the body as a whole.
Next, a program design and instruction session (45 minutes) is scheduled to walk the athlete through his/her program for the first time and provide them with a sound understanding of the “Kidzhaven core strength way of training”. They are also given flexibility, nutritional and supplement information to follow.
Workout programs are changed frequently throughout an athlete's training cycle (free of charge) in order to create continuous stress and demand on his/her muscles. All programs are customized to help athletes become stronger and more conditioned in their sport, not just stronger in the gym.
