The concept of periodization is not new,
with the precursors of periodized training dating back more than 2,000
years ago. But it is now obvious that the holistic development of an
athlete encompasses more than their physical and tactical training.
Scientific Foundations and Practical Applications of Periodization is
the first book of its kind designed to optimize sport performance by
integrating both classic and modern periodization theories with
recovery methodologies, nutritional interventions, and athlete
monitoring guidelines.
Written by G.
Gregory Haff, a world-leading expert on periodization, Scientific
Foundations and Practical Applications of Periodization incorporates the
latest scientific evidence to provide a comprehensive understanding of
how to implement planning and programming strategies to enhance
physiological adaptations. While other periodization books may discuss
training theory, few provide information on how to integrate various
training models into the periodization process. Here are just some of
the approaches incorporated into Scientific Foundations and Practical
Applications of Periodization:
- Employing and blending parallel, sequential, and emphasis periodization models to develop athletes
- Syncing recovery strategies with various phases and periods of training to enhance the adaptational process
- Manipulating nutritional strategies to magnify performance
- Using and interpreting monitoring data to adjust an athlete’s program in accordance with the periodized plan
Applicable
for athletes at all levels and in any sport, Scientific Foundations and
Practical Applications of Periodization translates the latest research
into usable information that directly enhances programming. You will
have access to real-world, practical examples and discussions of how to
make scientifically sound programming decisions. A glossary of over
400 terms will help you digest the content. Plus, you will find
periodization templates and directions on how to use them to create
annual training, mesocycle, and microcycle plans. Templates are
provided online via HKPropel to help you easily design periodized
programs.
