Example 4
The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) mission is to lead and enable a united high performance (HP) system that supports Australian athletes/teams to achieve podium success.
The next big event for your sport to achieve a performance outcome is going to take place at altitude and in hot conditions. You have two years to prepare for this event and you have discussed an approach with your athletes.
The Performance Services team would recommend and be able to implement a camp schedule of:
- acute exposure to minimise impact on performance, acclimation and adaptation sessions
- altitude, heat/humidity, specific training interventions and nutrition strategies
- competition strategy practical sessions
- pre-cooling, recovery, pacing, nutrition/supplement practices.
