Our group rehabilitation classes are monitored by our experienced exercise physiologist, who will guide you step by step through your personal rehabilitation program with injury statuses assessed and reviewed each session.
AAP sees to it that all athletes who follow the program have the gap bridged between early therapy and returning to full function, assuring that we get you back to doing what you love. Director Piero Sacchetta holds over years of industry experience, beginning as an elite athlete and making it to the top of his respective sport in Australia.

This phase is appropriate for boys aged 16 to 18 and girls aged 15 to The main objective should be to retain athletes for coaching, officiating, sports administration etc. The following is an example of a five-stage progression British Athletics model for long-term athlete development:.
Long Term Athlete Development LTAD Sports scientists have reported that there are critical periods in the life of a young person in which the effects of training can be maximised. Athletic model indicators Research has shown that chronological age is not a good indicator of which to base athletic development models for athletes between the ages of 10 and The key points of this phase are: Participation in as many sports as possible Speed, power and endurance are developed using FUN games Appropriate and correct running, jumping and throwing techniques are taught using the ABC's of athletics Introduction to the simple rules and ethics of sports Strength training with exercises which use the child's body weight; medicine ball and Swiss ball exercises Training programs, based on the school year, are structured and monitored but not periodised Develop the athletes: ABC's Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed RJT Running, Jumping, Throwing KGBS Kinesthetics, Gliding, Buoyancy, Striking with a body part CKs Catching, Kicking, Striking with an implement The first critical period of speed development will occur during this phase, age for girls and for boys, respectively.
Phase 2 - Learning to train This phase is appropriate for boys aged 9 to 12 and girls aged 8 to Any organisation interested in using the LTAD model in their programming should use these factors to teach parents, coaches, administrators and participants about the benefits of the model. A much talked about topic in physical education and sport, physical literacy is key to the LTAD model.
It focuses on mastering basic human movements, fundamental movement skills and foundational sport skills. Physical literacy is the cornerstone of both participation and excellence in sport and physical activity. For more information on physical literacy see our article What is physical literacy and why is it so important? Specialisation in sport occurs when athletes limit their participation to a single sport.
They train and compete in this sport year-round. Sports can be divided into early and late specialisation. In early specialisation sports mostly acrobatic and artistic sports such as gymnastics, diving and figure skating early training by ages 5 to 7 is necessary for future excellence. However most sports are late specialisation and some even very late specialisation.
Late specialisation sports include football, hockey and basketball. Elite levels can still be mastered as along as specialisation begins between ages 12 and Children develop at different rates.
When considering training, competition and recovery programmes for athletes, regardless of the LTAD stage, coaches need to consider the age of the athlete. A number of age categories must be considered.
These include:. For more information on maturation see our post Maturational threshold in young athletes — are we missing the point? To create optimal training and competition programmes, coaches and teachers need to be aware of the sensitive periods in which training for different body systems have optimal effects.
These different body systems include stamina, strength, speed, skill and flexibility. Children develop intellectually, emotionally and morally at different rates. For every child, one or more of these factors could be advanced or still developing. Therefore coaches and teachers need to be aware of how this can affect training and competition. Research has suggested a minimum of ten years of practice is needed for experts in any field to reach elite levels of performance Ericsson et al.
I try to get things moving too fast, and I expect to see more physical literacy than those students can manage. She can then work with them through to the FEI levels of competition. At Oakhurst, we have developed a real pathway for students to move through training and continue to progress and evolve as athletes, catering to their needs physically, mentally and emotionally by understanding the Long Term Athlete Development plan and how it fits in to our skills and training.
We are working on educating our parents and athletes about the LTAD as well. This is a very high level look at the idea, and I will definitely delve deeper into it over the coming year, however hopefully it got you thinking. By understanding what your students are and are not capable of at each age, stage and development level, we can start building a generation of equestrians with a lifelong love for the sport s and give them the tools to reach their peak potential and earn those podium finishes in the future if they desire to follow the gold medal path.
