Injury Prevention (IP)
As part of a Structured Learning Methodology (SLM) approach to training at SoPYC, we have 5 Pillars forming the curriculum being:
- Sailor
- Technique
- Tactics – Strategy
- Environment and
- Boat
Below is some information on the first point “Sailor” regarding Physical Preparation for Sailing.
I have borrowed a few exercises from WAIS to help with Injury Prevention and Conditioning. The research shows that consistent physical training is important not only to improve fitness, strength and success but have a much less chance of injury.
Has anyone hurt themselves when they start doing something new after a long spell? This is for you!
Safety Audit
As the sea breezes start to get stronger, please check your equipment is race-ready and start to get your boat fit and ready as well.
Here is Australian Sailings, Safety Audit to prompt you.
I hope you enjoy the exercises.
