EVALUATION
Before administering any type of training program, a health
screening evaluation and fitness assessment should be conducted
by a qualified professional. This will also aid in placing the athlete
in the best stage of the training program that suits their level of
conditioning. Once the health screening and fitness assessment
are completed, then the training may begin. The training program
provided is scheduled for three days out of the week (Table 3).
This is only the recommended duration and frequency for the
training program; days of the week can be changed according
to one’s schedule. This training program also requires a training
assistant as a safety precaution.
