The aim of physical preparation is to provide athletes with training facilities and individual training programs designed to maximise their athletic potential and performance.
WAIS Physical Preparation Specialists and S&C Coaches work across the Performance Enhancement Teams to provide specialised training programs for strength, power, muscular endurance and movement competency as well as injury prevention and rehabilitation. These programs are developed and supervised to ensure maximal training effectiveness, within the WAIS High Performance Service Centre and to support athletes when they are away for competition.
