Episode 6: Training Considerations for Combat Athletes.

The Strength and Health Podcast with Scott Shetler.

In this episode I discuss the general physical preparation (GPP) of combative athletes. GPP is the development that occurs through the non-specific training methods of sport preparation. Things like cardiovascular conditioning, lifting weights, stretching and mobility exercise are all examples of an athlete's GPP. I also provide information for the Kettlebell Conditioning for Combat Athletes workshop I am hosting at my training center in Atlanta on Saturday, 11/3. Show notes: -Misconceptions about training for martial artists -Is strength really a factor for combat athletes? -The physical qualities required for combative athletes -Types of range of motion -Conditioning (i.e. "cardio") -Strength and the different velocities that must be trained -The importance of static strength and muscular endurance -Why properly assessing the athlete is crucial to the success of their training plan -Why we utilize the Conjugate Method in our training at the EPTS Gym -The importance of proper exercise selection -Training optimally to enhance the athlete's sport performance If you have any questions about this show or suggestions for future topics email me at [e-mail] and if you are interested in learning about my kettlebell training workshop click here: https://www.eptsgym.com/kettlebell-conditioning-for-combat-athletes-workshop.html Stay Strong AND Healthy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/strength-and-health/support
