TRAINING EXCELLENCE
Strength and Conditioning is a crucial aspect of an athlete’s development.
The IAS strength & conditioning (S&C) program emphasises long term athlete development and education to produce the best conditioning practice for each athlete.
The program incorporates performance testing and movement screening, athlete conditioning and training load management to provide a holistic approach and a service that is individually suited to promoting enhanced athletic development and a transferal effect for improved sports performance.
Overseen by Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Courtney Gallagher, the training package is setup to provide each athlete with an all-encompassing service, where all necessary aspects of strength and conditioning are incorporated into a package including:
Initial screening / assessment.
Exercise program and prescription for low/moderate/high level conditioning, preparation and activation, functional mobility and recovery sessions.
Access to scheduled weekly S&C sessions with an IAS S&C coach.
Planning for each training block (5 weeks).
Exercise program upgrades every training block (5 weeks).
Statistical analysis of training loads/ strains/ monotony/ fatigue/ training peaks.
Functional testing, power/speed/endurance testing on scheduled days.
Further access to selected gyms at scheduled times (unsupervised training).
Pool access at selected locations at scheduled times.
