Sport-Specific Strength Training

A customized strength training program is an effective way to achieve the structural goals of joint stability and musculoskeletal resiliency, while maximizing efficiency of technique.

In our strength training analysis we examine your form in performing basic strength training movements. We discuss any history of injury or imbalance. A specific program is constructed emphasizing functional and core strengthening and stabilization. A periodized routine, including guidelines to volume and intensity over the training year is provided. We focus on exercises specific to the movements of your sport and lifestyle so that the strength translates most directly to your performance.

Whole Athlete Associate Coach Dusty Roady leads our strength training program. Contact Dusty with any questions or to schedule a training session.

Some benefits of Sport-Specific Strength Training:

• Increase musculoskeletal resiliency to resist injury and overuse
• Improve muscle fiber recruitment patterns for coordination and better form
• Increase equilibrium of overall strength and balance between halves of body
• Balance muscle strength around a joint to improve stability
• Helps avoid excessive stress on tendons, fascia, joints, and bones;
• Increase bone density
• Increase core stability to deliver maximum power for efficiency
• Explosive strength training may improve explosive efforts on the bike and in running, such as the initial torque produced in sprinting or accelerating.
