Some of the conditioning principles we have relied on for years continue to have followers, others have been challenged recently by new paradigms. But the basics remain - the terminology used for structured programs, the idea of sport specificity, the distinction between practicing and training, and some fundamentals of how the body responds to exercise.

The pages in this section are mostly the basics, and are provided on WebBall as necessary background. However, just because something relates to exercise or is presented as fitness advice, doesn't mean it is always suitable for baseball. So, if/when we believe that any information proves of questionable value for the sport, we will flag those concerns. In part this review will reflect the information under the "energy & nutrition" section.

On the list is a subdirectory for specific exercises and and routines tied to training phases - including step-by-step instructions for all the lunges, lifts and curls used in training programs.Keep in mind that is general and not always for baseball.
