Physique preparation

In this chapter I will try to discuss the major physique aspects of Canne. In order to do so, a brief description of physique as a combination of strength, speed, endurance and flexibility will be given first. After that, a short analysis of Canne in terms of the three main physique aspects will be performed. Finally some exercises and example routines to train different physique aspects will be given and discussed.

Starting with basic definitions (translated from German "Basics of the sports training science" lecture series):

Strength: Overcoming big physical resistances

Speed: Achieving the least possible time to perform a physical action

Endurance: Long lasting production of power without (with minimal) losses

Flexibility: Achieving optimal amplitude during movements and stances

For detailed information on individual topics, please refer to dedicated chapters (will eventually come at some point)
