Personalized athlete training programs are a game-changer for athletes aiming to up their game in their chosen sports. These programs are all about you—your speed, strength, agility, stamina, and injury resistance.
Custom Training Plans
Creating a custom training plan means designing workouts that fit you like a glove. Acceleration Australia specializes in these tailored programs to boost athletic performance. They start with initial assessments, checking out your movement patterns, flexibility, vertical jump, power, and speed. This helps coaches whip up goal-specific plans just for you.
Assessment Type | Measurement |
---|---|
Movement Patterns | Biomechanics |
Flexibility | Range of Motion |
Vertical Jump | Power Output |
Speed | Time Trials |
Agility | Quickness Drills |
These assessments give a clear picture of what you’re good at and where you need work. Based on this, they create a training program that hits your goals, whether it’s boosting power with explosive strength workouts or sharpening agility with quickness drills.
Keeping Tabs on Progress
Tracking your progress is key. Acceleration Australia does performance testing before and after training to see how you’re improving and tweak things for the best results. This scientific approach lets you see real progress over time.
You can log into Acceleration’s platform to check your results, like how much faster or stronger you’ve gotten. Keeping track of this stuff keeps you motivated and helps adjust your training as needed.
Training Metric | Initial Measurement | Post-Training Measurement |

Speed (100m) | 12.5 sec | 11.8 sec |
Vertical Jump | 20 in | 24 in |

Customization and progress tracking make sure your training is spot-on and matches your goals.

Why Functional Training Rocks for Athletes
Functional training isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a game-changer for athletes. It focuses on exercises that boost your strength, power, speed, and agility, making you a better all-around athlete.
Pump Up Your Strength and Power
Functional training is your ticket to getting stronger and more powerful. Forget those isolated muscle workouts; this is about movements that mimic what you do in your sport.
- Get Stronger: Exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts are your best friends. They target the muscles you actually use in sports, making you stronger and less likely to get hurt.
- Boost Power: Add some explosive moves like box jumps and medicine ball throws to your routine. These exercises help you generate force quickly, which is key for those sudden bursts of speed or jumps.
Training Type | Example Exercises | Benefits |
---|---|---|
Strength Training | Squats, Deadlifts, Lunges | Builds muscle strength, lowers injury risk |
Power Training | Box Jumps, Medicine Ball Throws | Increases explosive power, improves force generation |

Speed and Agility: Your Secret Weapons
Speed and agility are must-haves for any athlete. Functional training can help you get faster and more agile, giving you the edge over your competition.
- Speed Up: Drills like sprints, resisted runs, and high-intensity interval training can make you faster. These exercises condition your muscles and heart to react quicker.
- Get Agile: Agility drills like ladder drills and cone drills train your body to change direction quickly and efficiently. This is crucial for sports that require quick movements.
Training Type | Example Exercises | Benefits |
---|---|---|
Speed Training | Sprints, Resisted Runs | Boosts top-end speed, enhances acceleration |
Agility Training | Ladder Drills, Cone Drills | Improves quickness, enhances direction change efficiency |
