Training Frequency

The athlete has 4 years’ experience with resistance training including free-weights and machines and they performed well on basic strength tests during screening. Therefore a resistance training frequency 3 sessions/week has been selected.  This is due to the time in the season (in-season) and the main aim of maintaining strength from pre-season. The frequency of resistance training is reduced during the in-season so that the athlete can focus of training in the pool, which is a higher priority when considering upcoming competitions. The 3 sessions cover strength, core stability and prehabiliation exercises twice each.
