Description
USECA (US Elite Coaches Association) and Masters of Sport announce a joint project, “Conditioning Program” for the age group and Xcel athletes. In an expanded 52-week program, the Conditioning Program offers a complete, comprehensive system that saves valuable coach planning hours.
As a vital part of our gymnasts’ overall training, the 150-page Conditioning Program is divided into the four phases of Periodization Planning: Transition Phase, General Phase, Specific Phase, and Competitive Phase. Every 4 weeks, the tasks (exercises) change to keep the athlete’s interest and to add variety to a strength program.
Each 4-week segment offers 8-10 maintenance tasks and 10 strength tasks. The youngest level athlete can perform the assigned exercises to the most advanced athlete by tailoring the difficulty. “A” level to “D” level can be performed on each exercise, along with the prescribed number of sets to be performed from 1 to 3.
This full-color manual is easy to use, well-thought-out, and a must-have for all programs. It will save the coach time by reducing the hours needed to develop a strength and conditioning program.
Extra chapters include Plyometric Exercises and Handstand Development.
