Training to improve your sport has come into its own of late. Athletes are the testing ground for new techniques and training methods. A lot of research has gone into training athletes in the last decade and has had a serious impact on enhancing the performance of the social participant as well as the man on the street.

VO2max, plyometrics and anaerobic training are just some of the buzzwords used by trainers and coaches alike.

Training people to become better at their sport relies on a thorough analysis of the various components of the sport i.e. physical and mental. A good trainer will look at the energy systems involved, the patterns of movement, the current training method as well as the mental strain on the individual for example.
