Strength Training vs. Conditioning Needs

Understanding whether an athlete requires more strength training or conditioning is crucial for enhancing performance. Recreationally active individuals typically benefit from concurrent training, which combines both modalities in their routine, while elite athletes may experience a decline in performance due to this approach. To determine an athlete's needs, it is essential to assess their current strength and conditioning levels objectively against established benchmarks. For example, individuals preparing for specific sports may need to prioritize one area based on their performance metrics, like overall strength or cardiovascular fitness.
