General Fitness and Training for Sport
1. Devise a program for general fitness will interact negatively with training for other fitness qualities.
2. Prolonged emphasis on cardio conditioning will decrease strength, hypertrophy, and power.
3. Usually it is inappropriate to perform endurance before strength and speed training.
4. Recovery from bursts of activity do require cardio and long term energy system however most sports that are field/court sports require short and intermediate term non oxidative systems.
5. What are you training for?
6. Is cross-training best for sports or just a fun good workout?
7. Cross-training setting loads, training periods, volumes and rest periods must be planned and often large class settings don't take this into account for the athlete.
8. Back to playing sports after any injury should be done by a physical therapist before any training has begun with your performance coach. The issues I have with most coaches is they don't test the athlete they relay on the PT to say its OK to get back to your sport. I often have girls with ACL issues and they still have large imbalances and they think its OK to return, I think not !
9. A large imbalance after injury is common but its needs to be addressed and most programs and especially cross-training programs don't address this.
10. Is your cross-training making you stiff or causing you pain in certain areas
11. I love cross-training ass kick workouts but also want you to think about what is best for your goals and your sport even if its the game of life.
