Sports conditioning is a focused approach to training that aims to prepare athletes for the physical demands of their specific sports. This method goes beyond general fitness by emphasising the development of sport-specific skills, enhancing overall athletic performance, and reducing the risk of injury.

We integrate advanced biomechanical analysis with personalised training regimes to optimise your physical capabilities and help you excel in your chosen sport.

Sports conditioning benefits athletes of all levels and ages, from school sports participants to elite competitors. Our programs are especially useful for athletes who want to improve their performance in specific areas, recover from past injuries while strengthening their bodies against future ones, or transition from one level of competition to another.

A sports conditioning consult at Bertie Herbst & Associates begins with a comprehensive assessment of your current physical condition, sports activities, and performance goals. This initial consultation involves a biomechanical analysis, which is a comprehensive review of your movements to identify any biomechanical inefficiencies that could affect your performance or increase injury risk.

Next, we will perform a fitness assessment, evaluating your current strength, endurance, flexibility, and other physical capabilities relevant to your sport. We will also help you set some goals by collaborating with you to set realistic and specific performance goals based on your assessment results.

Following assessment, we create a personalised conditioning program tailored to your specific needs and sports objectives. This program includes targeted exercises designed to improve your strength, power, agility, endurance, and flexibility.

It further provides injury prevention strategies, which are techniques and exercises to strengthen vulnerable areas and reduce the risk of common sports injuries. In addition, we will provide regular evaluations to track your progress and adjust the program as needed to ensure continuous improvement.

Our sports conditioning programs are meticulously designed to enhance key athletic qualities:

• Strength and Power: We develop customised strength training routines that increase muscle power and endurance, which are crucial for sports performance.
• Speed and Agility: Tailored drills improve your quickness, reaction time, and ability to change direction swiftly, which are essential for most sports.
• Endurance: Conditioning exercises enhance cardiovascular and muscular endurance, enabling athletes to maintain high performance throughout the duration of their sport.
• Flexibility and Mobility: Increased flexibility and joining mobility reduce the risk of injuries and are vital for reaching the full range of motion required in complex athletic movements.
