Sports Training and Workouts: The Science Behind Success

At Eat the Frog Fitness, we carefully design our sports training programs. They are based on scientific principles used by top athletes. This lets you fully unlock your potential and see amazing results in your fitness journey.

Unlocking the Science of Successful Sports Training

Taking part in sports is great for kids and teenagers. It brings psychological and social benefits. Also, seniors who play amateur sports enjoy better health and a fuller life¹⁰.

Youth who play organized sports tend to keep active as adults¹⁰. This shows how sports positively influence health and well-being for life.

Elite athletes’ mental health has been closely examined. Studies offer deep insights into the factors behind their success. Managing stress is key. There’s a big difference between being stressed and being “stressed out,” and it matters¹⁰. Selye’s general adaptation syndrome model highlights the need to understand how our bodies respond to stress.

When it comes to training, resistance workouts stand out. Different types lead to unique muscle changes, whether the load is low or high¹⁰. The American College of Sports Medicine offers helpful advice. It’s about the right amount and kinds of exercises for keeping fit and healthy¹⁰.

We use these latest science findings in our programs to help clients reach their fitness goals. Our approach is beneficial whether you dream of being an athlete or wish to just feel better. It’s all about improving and getting the most out of yourself.

“The key to success in any sport lies in understanding the science behind the training and workouts that drive peak performance.”¹⁰

Eat the Frog Fitness is dedicated to the latest in sports training science. We stay up-to-date with new research and the best methods. This commitment ensures our clients enjoy the most advanced and effective fitness strategies¹⁰.

Injury Prevention and Low-Impact Training

Eat the Frog Fitness is all about keeping you healthy for the long run¹¹. Our VIP Training uses smart exercises to protect your joints and avoid injuries. You’ll be able to challenge yourself safely.

Preventing injuries is key, whether you’re into sports or just like to stay active¹¹. Shocking stats tell us that 20.9% of sports injuries can stop an athlete from playing. And more than 70% of these injuries happen because people overdo it, causing stress fractures mostly¹¹.

That’s where our VIP Training steps in to help lower your injury risk¹¹. We use top-notch floors made by companies like MONDO to soften the impact on your body. This way, you can work out harder without hurting yourself.

The Science of Injury-Free Performance

Our training methods are based on the newest sports research¹². This research highlights that how often and how people get hurt is linked to their training. Using the right methods and surfaces can make training safer.

Other studies show that having a good physical foundation and working out like it’s a habit can lower your injury risk¹³. We keep an eye on your training so you can reach your top level of performance without getting injured¹³.

At Eat the Frog Fitness, your health comes first. Our VIP Training helps you avoid injuries and go far in your fitness journey. It’s all about reaching your sports dreams safely¹¹¹²¹³.

Fuel Your Body Like an Athlete

Proper sports nutrition is key for athletes to power their fitness journey. At Eat the Frog Fitness, we know the right nutrients are vital. They help you train, recover, and reach peak performance. By eating like an elite athlete, you can achieve your fitness dreams.

An important rule in sports nutrition is getting enough energy. Almost half of female athletes might not get enough energy, which can harm their health and training.¹⁴ Eating a balanced diet boosts your energy. It helps you work out and recover faster. Having carbohydrates after a workout helps your muscles recover faster by replacing lost energy.¹⁴ Also, eating 30g-110g of carbs every hour during long exercise makes you less tired and perform better¹⁴.

For athletes, having a diet that suits them is very important. Female elite athletes’ body types vary a lot. This shows the need for a diet and training plan that fits each one.¹⁴ We work with you to make a nutrition plan just for you. It considers your goals and what you like. In ultra trail running, eating right for long hours is key to doing well.¹⁴

Eating like a pro athlete can help you perform better and feel good. Advice and carefully planning meals are essential for female athletes. It helps fight low energy problems and boost their performance.¹⁴ Think like an athlete and let us help you reach your best fitness level.

Eating 10 grams or more of protein for breakfast is a good idea.¹⁵ Breakfast needs at least 3 grams of fiber.¹⁵ For snacks, pick 2-3 food groups. Mixing lean protein with carbs keeps your energy steady.¹⁵ Eating right before exercising improves your performance and moves you closer to your fitness goals¹⁵.

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) says 50 to 60 percent of daily calories should come from carbs for those who exercise.¹⁶ The ACSM also states that during intense or long training, eating enough energy, including carbs, is important for health and performance.¹⁶ The ACSM suggests 15 to 20 percent of your daily calories should be from protein, depending on your activity and goals¹⁶.

If your goal is to gain lean muscle or lose weight, having 20g of protein right after exercise helps build muscles.¹⁶

“Fueling your body like an athlete is not just about performance – it’s about optimizing your overall health and well-being. Let us help you unlock your true potential.”

We’re here at Eat the Frog Fitness to give you what you need to eat like a pro. With a custom nutrition plan, your training will be better, and you’ll recover well. Let’s think and eat like athletes to exceed our fitness ambitions together.

Tracking Progress and Reassessment

Tracking your fitness progress is key for reaching your long-term goals. At Eat the Frog Fitness, we do thorough assessments every 8 weeks. This lets you see how you’re doing, what to work on, and tweak your training as needed²⁰.

Our assessments look at many areas like heart health, muscle strength, body flexibility, and more²¹. This info not only shows your current fitness but helps our trainers craft workouts just for you²¹.

• Cardio health is checked using treadmills or bikes²¹.
• Muscle strength is tested by lifting weights or squeezing a grip tool²¹.
• Stamina is looked at by how many push-ups or sit-ups you can do²¹.
• Flexibility is seen in a sit-and-reach test²¹.
• Body fat and muscle are checked by different methods like skin tests or scans²¹.

Updating your fitness data regularly helps you keep an eye on your goals and plan your workouts²¹. It makes aiming and improving more clear, keeping you excited about getting fit²⁰.

Working out often, for at least 12 days each month, is a great start. Add more exercises over time. Mixing up your workouts with different types, like trying new sports, stops things from getting boring and helps avoid injuries²⁰.

Being part of a fitness group, especially like ours at Eat the Frog, can motivate you in amazing ways. Being around folks who love staying fit too can keep you focused and eager²⁰.

Think of fitness as a marathon, not a short race. Use the “Eat the Frog” mind-set, keep checking how you’re doing, and stay true to your plan. This will get you to your fitness dreams and make the athlete in you shine²⁰.

Mixing endurance with agility helps our athletes succeed. No matter your level, our program boosts your game. It helps you become the athlete you want to be.

Sports Nutrition for Peak Performance

Fueling your body right is key to winning in sports. As an athlete, what you eat is more important than for most people. Knowing what your body needs is vital to perform like a pro.

Tailoring Your Caloric Intake

Men athletes could burn 2,400-3,000 kcal a day, while women need 2,200-2,700 kcal²⁸. The main thing is to match how much you eat with how much you move. Carbs, proteins, and fats, plus alcohol, add up in calories. Carbs and proteins give 4 kcal each, alcohol has 7 kcal, and fats top the list with 9 kcal per gram²⁸.

Nutrient-Dense Fueling

Eating nutrient-rich foods helps you perform better. Try to eat five servings of fruits and veggies each day. Consider them the size of a baseball for a serving²⁸. Before you compete, pick foods like grilled meats, fruits, veggies, nuts, and whole grains. Skip the fried stuff and foods with lots of sugar²⁸.

Hydration for Athletes

Drinking enough water is key to doing well in sports. Basically, before training, drink two cups of water. During your workout, have four to six ounces every 15 minutes²⁸. After, how much you drink depends on how much fluid you’ve lost. For every pound you drop, you need to drink about 16 ounces to make up for it²⁸.

On-the-Go Fueling

When you’re active, keep quick, nutritious snacks close by. Good options are whole grain crackers with cheese, wraps with veggies and lean meats, or fruit and milk. These will keep you fueled for your best performance²⁸.

Using what we know about sports nutrition can push you further in your sport. Personalizing your food and drink choices helps you reach new performance levels²⁸.

“Proper nutrition is the foundation of athletic performance. By fueling your body with the right nutrients, you can unlock your true potential and achieve your fitness goals.”

²⁹

Studies have shown the power of custom sports diets. For example, eating lots of carbs can boost your game, as seen in a squash match study²⁹. For sports like football, a high-carb diet can help, too, according to the International Journal of Sports Medicine²⁹. When soccer players on a high-carb diet did sprints, their performance improved²⁹³⁰.
Good nutrition goes beyond counting carbs and calories. It includes checking your body composition, muscle recovery, staying healthy, and keeping your energy up³⁰. It’s also about knowing which supplements might help, looking at your body’s signs, and your eating history. Putting all this together helps make a diet that’s just right for you³⁰.
