What is the purpose of performance training?

The purpose of performance training is to help improve your physical abilities to support specific goals, such as running faster, jumping higher, building strength, or increasing endurance. 

Unlike general fitness workouts, performance training is more targeted. It’s designed to enhance your body’s performance in real-life movements or sports, not just change how it looks. 

Athletes, weekend warriors, and active individuals can benefit from training that focuses on movement quality, strength, speed, agility, and overall athletic performance.

How does performance training work?

Performance training combines various techniques tailored to your sport, activity level, or personal goals. At Austin Sports Medicine, your session may include:

• Strength training
• Agility drills
• Balance and coordination work
• Flexibility exercises
• Cardiovascular conditioning

It begins with a performance assessment to identify your current strengths and weaknesses. Next, your provider creates a customized program. 

The training is usually progressive, meaning the difficulty increases as you improve. Your provider may use resistance bands, weights, medicine balls, sleds, or bodyweight exercises to help you build power, mobility, and control.

Who is a candidate for performance training?

Anyone looking to boost physical performance can benefit from this type of training. It’s commonly used by athletes — from youth to professional levels. However, it’s also ideal for people who want to move better in everyday life, prevent injuries, or break through a fitness plateau.

Even older adults or those returning from injury can benefit, as the programs can be scaled to meet individual needs. Whether you're trying to improve your 5K time or want to feel stronger and more capable, performance training can be tailored to fit your goals.

What are the benefits of performance training?

The benefits of performance training go beyond building muscle. It helps improve coordination, balance, reaction time, and movement efficiency.

It can boost athletic performance, reduce injury risk, and increase confidence in your physical abilities. Over time, performance training leads to:

• More functional strength
• Better posture
• Improved flexibility
• Greater endurance

It gives a stronger, more agile body.
