Pre Season Training

[King Kernas]

Thats's ridiculous saying training when it's 42 + degrees is beneficial in the long run. It does more damage to your body than good and anybody that tells you different is both arrogant and stupid. If world class athletes are complaining why the roof is not closed on Vodafone arena surely that sends a message to amateur sports players. Common sence.

What about Power and Crows training in the heat, so it can't be doing that much damage to the body.

KK you are in the mature age category and you trained Wed night for at least 90 min
How was it doing the run and steps?
How have you pulled up?

KK, Does your club have ice baths, spas, physios, doctors,a hyperbaric chamber. I dont think you should compare Afl to country footy. You have to be very careful these days with " duty of care ". I cant see the long term benefit in hamering guys this time of year in this heat.

[Bag The Points]

You've hit the nail right on the head there, WOW ---- this time of year
Persisting in Pre-Season training during the course of this heat wave is crazy. It's not as if you have a vital game coming up in the next seven days. Put it all on hold until the heat wave has passed.

Thats a fair call BTP but as Ratsy keeps telling the lads listen to your body!!!

It is also more about keeping the group together and while the heat is on it is only a light run.

1- They trained at 9 a.m, so it's mid to high 30's at the hottest
2- They are proffesional athletes who's bodies realistically overall are just about the pinnacle
of fitness above any other sport on the planet (Eg being able to sustain constant physical
punishment and run 8-20 km in a match).
3- They are well equiped with shower fans, ice cold water/sports drinks, have world class
support from the sidelines.
4- They are observed before and after training to see the effects by proffesional sports
scientists.

Do you remember that bloke from Norwood a year or 2 back whos body went into muscle meltdown and subsequintly almost died?? Thats a bloke from an SANFL club who would be fitter than 99% of us posting on here......

That's not entirely true... He would be about 3000% times fitter than me.

I think most coaches are aware of the Duty Of Care that they have to their players well being.In saying that i remember doing pre season in the 1980s and we still had to do it regardless of the heat.Most coaches are more sensible now and modify their training accordingly.To not train at all because of the heat tho is weak as piss.Sometimes you have to pay the price if you want success

[rodney fox]

Totally agree Tatts, gee some people are too precious. Obvious people (coaches) are appointed because they have some level of common sense and this would obviously be applied to restricted trainings or what ever they decide.

Maybe we are all that bored we just like to whinge. Maybe when it starts raining we can sook about that too

[asert]

When do you reckon you will start?
