winter training
Off-season athletic preparation
Winter training is athletic preparation conducted during the off-season, typically focusing on conditioning, strength building, and skill development when competition is paused.
The term appears most often in sports with spring or summer seasons: The team's winter training program emphasizes endurance work.
For winter sports, the phrase may instead describe pre-season preparation in fall months.
