Land Training
Many
studies have shown that land training, coupled with a structured swimming
training programme will improve overall performance, in addition to bringing
added benefits like injury reduction.
Land
training can take various forms, from circuit training to develop anaerobic
capacity and core stability to weight training which builds strength in
specific muscle groups.
However,
land training doesn’t need just be associated with a gym. A bike ride which
raises the heart rate for an extended period of time, a 5km run or basic
bodyweight exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, lunges etc), when conducted regularly
will also contribute to improved performance.
At
present, we do not offer regular land training sessions, however we are looking
into ways to fit it in to our training programme.
