Fitness Program

Season 2007



Strength and Conditioning Calendar


The strength and conditioning program is based largely on the time of year in relationship with your sport. Periodization is the break down of the academic year in months, where specific training goals are focused on. Guidelines for training will be broken down into five phases.


Five Phase Fitness Program


Phase 1

Recovery/Decompression

May-June

Phase 2

Preparatory/Endurance

July -August

Phase 3

Transition/Strength

September-October

Phase 4

Pre-Season/Power

November-December

Phase 5

In-Season

January-April



Phase 1. Recovery / Decompression

May - June


Preparation for the upcoming season begins following the final game of the previous year. This is the time to allow both your body and mind to decompress from your sport. Your goals during this time are to “recharge the batteries”, to regenerate your desire to train and compete, and to, in many cases, recover from injuries sustained during the season. This is the time to rest; however, you will want to avoid excess weight gain during this phase, as the likely reason for the weight gain will probably be due to fat, usually caused by increased caloric intake and decreased physical output.


Recommended Exercise Program

Phase 2. Preparatory / Endurance

July - August


Phase two officially starts the beginning of your off-season workout program. The focus of this phase is to develop a complete fitness base. This is a preparatory phase for the more intense work load that will come in phases 3 and 4.


Recommended Exercise Program

High volume lifting, running, biking, rowing, swimming.

Phase 3. Transition / Strength

September - October


This is a transition phase, where we will be increasing the load demand on both the aerobic and anaerobic components. This will be accomplished by decreasing the training volume and increasing the load or resistance of each exercise.

Phase 4. Sport Specific / Pre-season

We are now in total sport specific fitness. The program is at the most intense during this phase. This is the final push towards the upcoming season. Each exercise is geared towards sport specificity.

Phase 5. In-season

January - April


Here is the pay-off for all the hard yards you have put in. This is also the most important phase from a strength and conditioning stand point. Maintenance is a huge priority for obvious reasons. Continuing your weight lifting and running program during the season is vital to maximizing your potential. In most cases, running during the season is the easy part, as you will be doing plenty of that during practice. Lifting, on the other hand, takes slightly more constitution to sustain. Research shows that lifting the day after a competition will help reduce soreness, lactic acid build up, and aid in recovery, therefore, we will always lift following a competition. Studies have also shown that lifting only one day a week can maintain strength gains, therefore, we will lift at least one other day a week during the season. One workout will be focused on maintenance while the other is focused on recovery. Both workouts will be total body workouts. They will be relatively low in volume and duration, always high in intensity.
