The Importance of Age-Appropriate Training
As an athlete ages, their body becomes less tolerant of surprises. Therefore, it is crucial for older athletes to train in a way that is specific to their age and physical capabilities. Periodization, which involves training in increments towards peak fitness, and polarization, focusing on both high and low-intensity exercises, are effective training strategies. Polarization involves doing a small amount of high-intensity exercise and a larger amount of low-intensity exercise, such as walking or slow jogging. This approach helps build a strong cardio base and minimizes the risk of injury.
