Surfing and Strength and Conditioning

Over the last few years the Australian Sports Commission has increased support for Surfing Australia. As a result the emphasis on sports specific conditioning within surfing has improved with the help of world renowned strength and conditioning coach, Jeremy Sheppard.





The video below highlights:
  • The physiological demands placed upon surfers such as powerful production of movements and enhanced load absorption experienced in aerial manoeuvres and efficiency in paddling.
  • How to effectively train for practice and competition and the importance of prioritisation. Note the emphasis on plyometrics and power lifting which will aid in power production and application of amortisation.





These highlighted features of surfing are of focus within Innovate Sports Specific Conditioning. Our programs are all individualised, catering to each athletes requirements in order to improve the performance of our athletes.


Thanks,
Mitch
