Build the athlete before the season starts.

Get stronger, faster, fitter and better prepared for the demands of your sport with Fortis Physiotherapy's 12-week, physiotherapist-led Off-Season Strength & Conditioning Program.

WHY THE OFF-SEASON MATTERS

The off-season is an opportunity to build the physical qualities that are difficult to develop once competition begins.

It's time to build physical capacity, address weaknesses and develop the strength, speed, fitness and movement qualities required for performance.

The goal isn't simply to arrive at the start of the season injury-free. It's to arrive stronger, faster, fitter and better prepared for the demands of your sport.

PHYSIOTHERAPIST-LED ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT

A structured 12-week off-season program.

Designed for field and court sport athletes, the Fortis Off-Season Program combines evidence-based strength training, speed development, conditioning and injury prevention to help maximise performance while reducing injury risk before pre-season.

Each week includes two complementary sessions:

Session 1 — Strength & Conditioning
Gym-based training focused on developing strength, power and physical capacity.

Session 2 — Running Performance
Field-based training focused on speed, running performance, conditioning and movement.

Every athlete follows the same overall performance framework, with individual modifications based on injury history, movement quality and training goals.

HOW THE 12-WEEK PROGRAM WORKS

Phase 1 — Weeks 1–6

Build the foundation.

Week 1 begins with testing and establishing individual performance baselines.

Weeks 2–5 focus on building the physical foundations required for performance, followed by education and reactive testing in Week 6.

Week 1: Testing & baselines
Weeks 2–5: Foundation
Week 6: Education + reactive testing

Phase 2 — Weeks 7–12

Turn the foundation into performance.

The second half of the program places greater emphasis on speed and power development before finishing with re-testing to measure progress.

Weeks 7–11: Speed & power
Week 12: Re-testing & program wrap-up

WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS

By the end of the 12 weeks, athletes should demonstrate improvements across the physical qualities that matter for their sport, including:

• Maximal strength

• Lower body power

• Sprint acceleration and maximal speed

• Running mechanics and efficiency

• Aerobic and anaerobic fitness

• Deceleration and change of direction

• Movement quality

• Injury resilience

• Confidence entering pre-season

INDIVIDUALISED. PROGRESSIVE. MEASURABLE.

A criteria-based approach to athlete development.

This isn't a one-size-fits-all training program.Our approach is designed to identify what each athlete needs to improve and progressively develop those qualities throughout the off-season.

We:

• Identify what is limiting performance

• Determine which physical qualities need development

• Understand the demands the athlete needs to tolerate

• Progressively expose the athlete to those demands

• Monitor and reassess performance throughout the program

• Adapt training based on individual needs and progress
