Conditioning

When a person is conditioned, their body is considered to be in a ‘state of readiness’ or physically fit. Conditioning is the process of events, changes and improvements that happen when you get ready to do something you previously could not do. You can condition for everything from competing in a sport, running a race to playing with your kids or loosing weight. A conditioned person is in a ‘state of fitness’. This ‘state of fitness’ means that their body is prepared to handle the demands they might physically be challenged with. Midwest Orthopaedic Center’s Elite Athlete, Adult Fitness, Youth Fitness and Sportsmetrics programs are all targeted at conditioning participants to be better in some way at the end of the program then they were at the beginning.

Training

When you’ve trained properly, your body is accustomed to a level of fitness. Training is the process of focusing on or aiming at a goal, mark or target. Whether you want to train for a specific sport, to prevent possible injury, or to lose weight, you need a focused effort on changing and modifying your behaviors. By changing your behavior you will enable and empower your body’s abilities. Midwest Orthopaedic Center’s Elite Athlete, Adult Fitness, Youth Fitness and Sportsmetrics programs are educational, instructional and provide a discipline for any person to improve health and fitness in their life.
