This Handball strength and conditioning training program will focus specifically on agility training systems to:

 

• DS Performance training programs are designed to run alongside a skill/sport-specific based training plan. Our programs provide sessions for 3 days of training a week, to alternate between your skill/sport-specific training sessions.

 

• Our 12-week strength and conditioning training program are broken down into 2 x 6-week cycles, with a de-loading between the two training blocks. This will allow the body to recover, prepare you for the second training phase and reduce any risk of injury.          

 

• Along with your training program this book contains a supporting guide to mobility training. This guide uses myofascial release, static stretching, and activation work to mobilize the major body parts used in training.  

 

• Designed to reduce the risk of injury and avoid bad training habits through our sport-specific training programs. We provide training programs designed by ex-team GB athletes and coaching staff that have practical and applied experience through a wide range of individual and team-based sports.      

 

• Our program has been developed to bring elite training methods to everyone, from all levels of sporting ability. Our mission is to make training programs utilized by professional athletes available to all sporting enthusiasts and performers.

The intermediate training level is for when you have conditioned the body to train at a higher intensity, but you are still not ready for the competition phase of training. This level of programmes bridges the gap between general conditioning and competition phase of training, to achieve your optimal performance.   

 

Agility training is massively underrated in all multi-directional sports like handball. This is why we have identified its importance and designing a range of performance programmes specifically for developing your agility.  

 

With our agility training programmes you will increase your ability to react, adapt and move quickly. This will also supports your ability to think and understand game scenarios faster. By training agility you are not just training the mental reaction, but the physical one as well, in a very small period of time to react you need to decelerate, change direction and accelerate. 

 

Agility is one of those key attributes that can be trained and utilised throughout all phases of training to keep you sharp. The agility range of performance programmes, like the speed programmes, are ideal for that pre-competition and competition phase of training.
