POWER METHODS – How to Hit Bigger Shots

These methods are specifically designed for professional athletes who are following a year round competition and training schedule and require the strength & conditioning support to change according to their needs at particular times in the season.  If APA 1.0 is our High Performance Training Method, then APA 2.0 is the fine tuning that enables us to squeeze the juice out of our most elite performers using highly targeted assessment and training means.

 

Lower Body Power – Bounding & Skill Mill

  • 3 Hop as an assessment of single leg force capacity and ability to key positions important for deceleration and general movement
  • Relevance of bounding as a more representative task that closely approximates the reciprocal nature of limbs in running
  • Use of non motorised treadmill to assess Absolute Peak Power Output (PPO) in locomotive task to compliment vertical jump assessment of PPO

Rotational Power – Cable Mean Power

  • Assessment of rotational power using mean power and mean velocity of cable exercises

Upper Body Power – Medicine Ball & Serve Speed

  • Assessment of tennis serve speed using a Pocket Radar Gun
  • Assessment of upper body power using exit velocity of various medicine ball throws
