🌀 Continuous Training: A Fit for Team Sports?

For team sports, continuous training isn’t always the obvious choice. As @thecond_consult explains, while it offers simplicity and ease for off-season or self-run pre-season work, it often clashes with the nature of team sports. Complaints, monotony, and a lack of sport-specificity are just a few reasons it may not resonate with athletes.

But it’s not all bad. Active recovery runs and aerobic base-building are key scenarios where continuous training can shine, especially in off-season programs. Still, the balance between its benefits and limitations—like its potential to interfere with technical training—requires thoughtful consideration.

Nathan’s presentation dives deeper into this and explores the nuances of aerobic training methods, from tempo runs to small-sided games. Learn how to build conditioning programs that work for team sport athletes.
