Sport Training Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every athlete has different strengths, weaknesses, sports demands, and performance goals. An individualized sports training program allows exercises and progressions to be selected based on the athlete’s assessment, experience, position, and goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes. Sports training can help bridge the gap between rehabilitation and returning to full athletic competition. Once appropriate, athletes can progress through exercises that challenge strength, speed, power, agility, and sport-specific movement while preparing their bodies for the demands of practices and competition.
VALD ForceDecks are advanced force plates that provide objective measurements of an athlete’s strength, power, balance, jump performance, and movement symmetry. At Alton Physical Therapy, ForceDecks data can help identify performance opportunities, establish baseline measurements, track progress, and guide individualized training or rehabilitation programs.
Yes. Sports performance programs can be customized around the movements and physical demands of an athlete’s sport. Training may emphasize areas such as acceleration, change of direction, jumping, landing, strength, power, or endurance depending on the athlete’s needs and goals.
While no training program can prevent every injury, sports performance training can help address factors that may contribute to injury risk. Improving strength, balance, flexibility, movement mechanics, and neuromuscular control can help athletes better handle the physical demands of their sport.
Traditional strength training primarily focuses on increasing muscular strength, while sports performance training takes a more comprehensive approach. In addition to strength, programs may address speed, agility, explosive power, balance, coordination, mobility, and sport-specific movement patterns to help improve overall athletic performance.
Sports performance training can benefit athletes at many ages and competitive levels. Training should be appropriate for the athlete’s age, physical development, experience, and sport. At Alton Physical Therapy, programs are individualized to help athletes develop their abilities safely and effectively.
Sports performance training is specialized exercise and conditioning designed to improve the physical skills athletes need to perform at their best.
