Sport Specific Training

Summary

Your body adapts to the *specific* demands you place on it (the SAID principle) — which is true and useful, but it is routinely mis-sold: for almost everyone the highest-transfer training is a **general base of strength, power and aerobic capacity**, and elaborate "sport-specific" or "functional" drills (wobble boards, weighted sport-mimicry, gadget circuits) usually add specificity at the *cost* of the training stimulus, mattering only at the narrow, competitive end of the spectrum. ---
