Nowadays we do not count the hours spent by the athletes to develop and to maintain their physical condition anymore. The physical potential is indeed a decisive factor in the evolution of the sports performances.
Besides this performance, the physical preparation of the sportsman strengthens the pleasure in the game and decreases undoubtedly the risk of wounds thanks to a better prepared musculo-tendinous system.
" La préparation physique, est l’ensemble organisé et hiérarchisé des procédures d’entraînement qui visent au développement et à l’utilisation des qualités physiques du sportif. Elle doit apparaître de façon permanente aux différents niveaux de l’entraînement sportif et se mettre au service des aspects technico-tactiques prioritaires de l’activité pratiquée ". (Michel PRADET)
The physical preparation deals with qualities of stamina, of strength, of flexibility, of power, of address, of balance and of body movements. Any worked physical quality improves no matter your level of departure and influence inevitably your sports performances, as far as the work is made in a regular way ( several months) and in qualitative way (respect for the physical integrity).
