Opals S&C – Monitor Training Load
10
• Important to track training load throughout the year to ensure adequate condition for camps/competitions and to minimise injury risk.
• To do this we use AMS; a web-based software package that allows us to collect data from our athletes on wellness and training loads.

Opals S&C – Monitor Training Load
11
• Training loads are recorded following
every session with RPE (1-10) x time.
• It’s important to have normalized training loads and avoid large peaks or troughs.

Why do S&C
5/13/2016 14
• To develop the physical characteristics to optimise training and maximise performance
![Page 15: Strength and Conditioning for Basketball · • Strength and Conditioning (S&C) with the Opals and Centre of Excellence (COE). • Working within a service team. • Practical take](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022040822/5e6c5810d5ded7676233b0ca/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why do S&C
15
• Improves force production and movement economy – Muscle activation coordination – Neuromuscular efficiency – Mechanical efficiency
• Injury minimisation – More effective movement patterns – More efficient uses of the muscle tendon
complex – Lower loading across system
