Strength Training in the News
Fun to read a couple of articles this week that bring confirmation to the work we are doing at Trailhead Athletics. Check out these 2 articles on how strength training can bring great benefits to your other sports. Correcting muscular imbalances, increasing bone density, improving power and muscular endurance…you can experience it all through a well designed plan. Although I wouldn’t necessarily choose to apply the prescriptive elements of these articles as written, it is always interesting to learn what is working for other people. The bottom line is clear. Don’t be afraid to challenge your body, make every workout count (ie. don’t just go through the motions), work muscles harder than you might think and the benefits will come.
It has been rewarding this year to see some visible performance improvements in our Trailhead athletes, many of whom had not previously employed a strength component in their endurance sport training.
