Product Description

Product Description
Periodization is a method for structuring short and long term training plans, grounded in research in exercise physiology, athletic psychology and training methodology. It varies the intensity and volume of training to optimize the body's ability to recover and rebuild. This results in better performance and less risk of injury. This text describes the underlying principles of effective training; the objectives and components of an effective, long term training programme; proven strategies for optimal peaking; and how to train for better motor ability, working capacity, skill effectiveness and psychological adaptability.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dense reference material for coaches, 29 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Somewhat drier than the same author's excellent "Periodization Training For Sport". Covers a lot of the same kind of material, but in more theoretical depth and in less practicable format for application. Probably best read as a companion volume to the above mentioned work, by coaches who wish to study the subject in more depth.

3.0 out of 5 stars For Sports Science Students, 23 Oct 2003
By A Customer
In depth look at Bompa's Periodisation plan with applications for various sports. Better for students looking for a textbook on sports science than for a recreational trainer. "Serious Strength Training" by the same author is more practically useful, especially for body builders.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not up-to-date book, 13 Feb 2009
This book was by no doubt good in the eighties. But science and training methods has evovled, and this is not the case for this book even though it is in its fourth edidtion. To me the book did not give any information I could use, what so ever!
