Most sporting events revolve around your ability to create explosive movements over an extended period of time. This athletic quality is known as power-endurance. Training for power-endurance can be absolutely gruelling, however, the athlete that possesses the greatest amount of power-endurance usually goes home the winner.

Kettlebell training is relatively new in the world of sports performance enhancement. However, if there is one training tool for improving power-endurance, kettlebells are it. Kettlebell training traditionally revolves around modified Olympic Lifting variations performed for high repetitions. It’s this combination of high repetitions and modified Olympic lifts that make kettlebell training ideal for creating incredible amounts of power-endurance.

What is it about this combination that makes kettlebell training so effective?

Olympic lifts and their variations, by their very design cannot be performed slowly. Snatches, Cleans and Jerks must be executed quickly or not at all. By combining this quick lifting protocol with high repetitions you essentially train your body to produce high rates of power for an extensive time period.

What this translates into on the field is an athlete that can hit harder, run quicker and throw further more frequently and for a longer time period. Does that get your attention?
