Strength and Injury Prevention
• KEY AREAS - Hip, Groin and Hamstring
• Peripheral areas – Core and Glutes
• Injury prevention focus - low load, high range of movement dynamic
conditioning
• Leg strength and power KEY
• Periodisation complications…fixture congestion
• Upper body emphasis
• Vertical and horizontal power focus for GK’s
• Majority of gym conditioning – Injury Prevention!
