Club Conference 2022Get ready for orienteering

Last Updated: Wed 21 Sep 2022

For the first practical session of the day, Will Heap took the group onto the playing fields to look at warm-up, and strength & conditioning. These are really important activities to minimise the risk of injury. Will’s notes are here. The warm-up covered both the physical and mental aspect of pre-exercise preparation, with the athletes map reading whilst jogging. Will then took the group through strength & conditioning exercises which should be repeated 2 or 3 times a week.

On the same theme of ‘get ready for orienteering’, Rob shared some slides which discussed eyesight and avoiding blisters.
