Course syllabus
The curriculum is essentially composed of two macro areas: one dedicated to the Strength area and the other one to the Endurance area.
Strength:
References to muscle physiology
Dependent variables for maximal strength
Independent variables for training
Supercompensation (acute/chronic)
Overtraining quantification
Eccentric vs. concentric adaptations
How to train maximal strength
How to train hypertrophy
How to train fitness
Background: what to ask
Examples of basic programming + level advancement
Main training methodologies
Understanding of a sport-specific performance model
Strength for endurance sports
Strength for injury prevention
Errors in strength and conditioning and sports physiology
Endurance Module: Endurance
- Physiological factors of endurance
- Performance factors of endurance
- Endurance training-induced adaptations
- Endurance training process
- Endurance training factors
- Endurance external and internal load
- Endurance training volume and intensity
- Direct and indirect testing protocols for VO2max and lactate
- Endurance training planning
