A sound year-round aerobic endurance training program should be divided into sport seasons with specific goals and objectives designed to improve performance gradually and progressively.
In this session from the 2015 NSCA National Conference, Charlie Weingroff discusses interventions based on the core foundations of movement, output, readiness, and sensory systems. Interventions are presented as an intersection between medicine, fitness, and science.
The “priority training system” is one method first responders can use to ensure adequate exercise while not overexerting to the point that they are too fatigued to perform their jobs.
