Olympic athletes undergo rigorous training regimens that include a mix of strength training, endurance work, and skill-specific drills. They often follow a periodized training plan with phases for preparation, competition, and recovery, incorporating exercises like squats, deadlifts, and Olympic lifts to build strength and power. Recovery techniques such as active recovery and massage are also emphasized to prevent injuries and promote muscle repair [3][4][5]. Additionally, mental training, including visualization and goal-setting, plays a crucial role in their preparation [10].
