Coaches Guide to General Physical Preparedness Get better at the sports you play and the life you lead at STACK. Improve your training, nutrition and lifestyle with daily Updated: December 18, 2020 0 Shares Share on FacebookShare on Twitter There are many terms in the fitness/strength & conditioning industry that are overused to the point where people can no longer define them. General Physical Preparedness (GPP) is an example of one of those terms that are often spoken about but hard to define. In its simplest form, GPP training is any training that isn't specific to what is required in your sport or occupation. Even though GPP training is not specific itself, the idea behind it is that improving your general physical qualities will transfer over to improving your sport-specific performance by making you a more robust individual.
