General Physical Preparedness

General Physical Preparedness

General Physical Preparedness, also known as GPP, lays the groundwork for later Specific Physical Preparedness, or SPP. In the GPP phase, athletes work on general conditioning to improve strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, structure and skill. GPP is generally performed in the off-season, with a lower level of GPP-maintenance during the season, when SPP is being pursued.
