Beach Volleyball Training: How to Build Endurance and Strength

Are you ready to take your beach volleyball game to the next level? Building endurance and strength are key to becoming a better player. In this blog post, we'll give you some tips on how to do just that. 

 

To build endurance, you'll need to focus on cardio. Running, swimming, and cycling are great options, but the best option would be to simulate the sport-specific movements, so try running on the sand, or swimming in the ocean. This will help you build the endurance you need to play longer and harder.

2. Resistance training:

To build strength, you'll want to focus on resistance training. This can include weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, or even sand-based exercises such as bear crawls or lunges. Resistance training will help you build the strength you need to hit the ball with more power.

3. Core exercises:

Core exercises are a must for beach volleyball, as they will help you to maintain balance and stability on the sand, and also, it will help to transfer the power from your legs to your arms, making your hits stronger.

4. Plyometrics:

Plyometric exercises, such as jumping and bounding, are a great way to improve your explosive power and jumping ability on the sand. They are also great for building leg strength and endurance.

5. Practice and consistency:

The most important thing you can do to improve your endurance and strength is to practice and be consistent with your training.

Make sure to include cardio, resistance, core, and plyometric exercises in your training routine, and stick to it.

So get out there, hit the sand, and start building that beach body!
