Principles of Strength Training
• Precede strength training with
musculoskeletal evaluation
• Focus on functional strength, particularly
postural muscles
• Strength training in stages
– General strength
– Functional strength
– Specific strength
(Kurz)
The Four Basic Laws of Strength Training
• Before developing muscle strength
develop joints flexibility
• Develop tendon strength before muscle
strength
• Develop the core before the limbs
• Before developing the prime movers
develop the stabilisers

Exercises for Strength Development Prior to
Maturation
• Trains the Central Nervous System and strength gains
are due to improvements in motor coordination
 Obstacle courses
 Climbing, hanging
 Medicine balls
 Swiss balls
 Sand bags/Power bags
 All body weight exercises
 Plyometric activities
 Partner exercises
 Single, alternate leg/arm exercises
Types of Strength
• Absolute Strength-the maximum one can lift
regardless of the time taken (relative strength is
related to body mass)
• Explosive Strength-the greatest amount of force
developed in a given time frame (also known as
Maximum Rate of Force Development MRFD)
• Starting Strength-the measurement of how fast
and forceful the athlete is at the start of an
exercise (also known as the Initial Rate of Force
Development IRFD)

Aims of General Preparation
Weights Programme
• Hypertrophy
• Injury Prevention through strengthening
connective tissue
• Increase in strength endurance
• Injury prevention by addressing muscular
imbalance
Programme Design
• Anatomical Adaptation: to progressively
adapt the muscles and tendons to be able
to cope with heavier loads in the future
The simplest method is circuit training
Alternating muscle groups
6-15 exercises
60 to 90s between stations, 1 to 3 minutes
between circuits
Programme Design
• Hypertrophy
Some bodybuilding methods can be used
but not for long periods of time as they
stimulate the ST fibres. Hypertrophy of the
prime movers using more sets and fewer
exercises is more applicable to sportsmen.

• Hypertrophy of the

is more applicable top
sportsmen.
• Extensive interval method
can be used
Programme Design
• Maximum Strength
For players with at least two years AA and
hypertrophy. In phases up to 8 weeks.
3 to 5 exercises
4 to 6 sets per exercise
1 to 5 reps per set

Programme Design
• Power
• Low resistance-high velocity (30 – 50%
1RM)
• High resistance-low velocity (>90% 1R.M.)
(speed of contraction not movement)
• Plyometrics
Power
• Low resistance-high
velocity (30 – 50%
1RM)
• Medium resistance (5575% 1RM) “explosive”
lifts
• High resistance-low
velocity (>90% 1R.M.)
(speed of contraction
not movement)
• Plyometrics
Developing Power
Power = Speed x Strength
Power = Speed x Strength
High resistance-low velocity
