Application

SAQ Programmes^TM set out to assist coaches to train teams, squads, and players in a way that is more closely aligned to game situations than conventional training methods. However SAQ Training^TM system does not replace these methods. Rather the system compliments the general training programme in the areas of speed, general fitness, conditioning and skill.

Benefits

SAQ Training^TM concentrates on proper running form and explosive movement patterns for sports which require speed, agility and quickness as a basic prerequisite for success. It is ideal for all field and court-based sports which are mainly multi-sprint events requiring fast multi-directional movement patterns in addition to anticipation, sharpness of mind, reaction and acceleration as key components of sports specific fitness.

Range

The SAQ Continuum^TM covers everything from dynamic warm-up and flexibility; to active mobility exercising; to running and movement patterns; to explosive speed acceleration runs; to muscle building and explosive weight training systems; to plyometrics and resisted plyometric exercises and drills, while emphasizing the importance of diet maintenance and recovery patterns.

Training

Each section or part of the SAQ Programmes^TM may be used individually by teams, squads or players and will generate tremendous results. However, the greatest results will appear while using the various elements of the SAQ system collectively, in association with normal sports specific fitness and conditioning training as well as while developing sports specific skills and techniques.

Movement

SAQ Training^TM system is unique in that it ensures the coach is focused not only on linear movement, but plans for lateral, diagonal, reverse as well as vertical movement patterns which are equally appropriate to game situations. These movement patterns are coached, practised and implemented during the whole training regime – in conditioning training, as well as during skill acquisition and speed development.
