There is also evidence that immediately following i. This phenomenon is called post-activation potentiation PAP , where muscular performance is actually briefly improved 2. However, I believe it is unlikely that this enhancement in performance would last across an entire day and result in improved game performance.
It should be noted, however, that some individuals feel that the PAP effect is long-lasting and could affect game performances later in the day. Sport scientists have studied how the fatigue of two high power training sessions in a day can alter muscular performances 3. In many cases, the fatigue is minimal or non-existent by the second training session, and different individuals respond differently.
For baseball, this suggests that an early weight training session is not necessarily detrimental to game performance. What the exact training session looks like, of course, is critical. However, the importance of muscular strength and power in baseball has been well documented, 5,6 thus supporting the need for maintaining muscular performance across the entire season. David Szymanski: To further answer this question, research needs to be reviewed. At this time, there is not much data on game-day training; however, of the few articles that are published, one by Woolstenhulme, et al.
It is important to know that the players in this study lifted weights for five months prior to the study; moreover, the women trained for six weeks during the study and were tested in the last two weeks of the program.
Therefore, they were already trained and well-conditioned. The variables tested were the vertical jump, anaerobic capacity, and shooting accuracy. The authors suggested that experienced and trained basketball players could resistance-train on the morning of games or important practices without it negatively affecting their performance. C Fry: Here are several important suggestions for incorporating strength training during a baseball season:.
Q: Certainly, implemented incorrectly, game-day lifting could cause a decrease in performance, or worse, increase the risk of injury.
What are two things you would be concerned about from a physiological standpoint? David Szymanski: From a physiological standpoint, I would have two concerns about resistance training prior to playing on game day. One would be acute neuromuscular fatigue, which can be defined as the reduction in the force-producing capacity of the muscle peripheral fatigue and a decrease in the neural activity of the muscle central fatigue.
The other concern would be appropriate fuel recovery. In an article by Beelen, et al. For optimal recovery, a lb If this type of fuel recovery was not utilized with appropriate rest, then performance could be negatively affected.
In summary, do not be afraid of game-day lifting.

Share via. But to get through that marathon—a long and grueling run of games, barely any off days, and day-night doubleheaders—baseball players need to be in prime shape. With so much time dedicated to actually playing baseball during the season, players need to make the most of their offseason, which means spending hours in the gym crushing their workouts.
Want an example? Some players may have changed teams this winter, but just like Harper, stars all over the majors have been getting in the gym this offseason. Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees does curls with massive dumbbells. Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout does sled work.
Is it too late to qualify for the Winter Olympics? Here are some players who have been absolutely crushing it in the gym this offseason some have changed teams and become free agents since this list was made :. Mejorando la agilidad.

Once a player is mentally and physically recovered and recharged, it is time to initiate the rebuilding process. Like a race car after a race, you need to strip the car down to the basic structure or frame and start building it back-up or put it back together.
Athletes are no different. The rebuilding process starts with the writing of personalized training programs. These programs address the strengths, weaknesses and specific areas of improvement needed by each player, and provide progressive, systematic plans to prepare athletes for Spring Training.
There are many factors that can require the strength and conditioning coach to alter these plans. Workouts sometimes have to be scheduled around or in conjunction with players travel plans, hunting trips, golf tournaments, holiday plans, etc. It is unrealistic to think that every player will be able to consistently follow the plan as laid out. Some players, for example, play Winter Ball, so their off-season workout schedule and time-line will be different than those who remain in town or workout where they live.
The start and duration of off-season workouts for these athletes are dictated by when they start and finish playing in this league. Phase I. The off-season is divided into three, week training phases. Phase one is the first formal training phase of the off-season plan. It starts in November and lasts for approximately 5 weeks with days to week off for Thanksgiving. Workouts are designed to produce a sound, general fitness base.
Players are encouraged not to immediately overload the body by doing high intensity work. Doing too much high intensity or high volume too soon can lead to overuse or overtraining injuries such as, patella tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, biceps tendonitis, etc. Therefore, most of our Phase I workouts consist of unilateral, body weight exercises to help correct asymmetries and increase work capacity.
Players train three times per week and do a total body workout each training session. Phase II. For me, this is the most important phase of the off-season program. What a player does or does not accomplish during this phase will significantly affect how much improvement they achieve during the off-season and determine whether they thrive or simply survive the upcoming season.
