Tudor Bompa Knihy

Maximize your training gains with insights from Tudor O. Bompa, a pioneer of periodization, and Carlo A. Buzzichelli, an expert in training methods, in this sixth edition. This comprehensive text delves into the latest research and practices in training theory, providing scientific backing for the core principles of periodization. It covers the history, terminology, and theories of periodization while emphasizing the need for sport-specific and competition-level annual plans, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach. Key updates include an expanded chapter on integrating biomotor abilities, detailed information on training sessions, microcycles, and macrocycles, and a thorough exploration of muscle strength development methods, including loading variable manipulation. The text also offers a nuanced look at speed and agility training, distinguishing between individual and team sports. Beyond resistance training, it addresses sport-specific endurance, presenting various testing and development methods along with their physiological foundations. Instructors benefit from a newly added image bank for easy access to tables and figures for lecture preparation. This edition refines Bompa's theories to assist in creating effective training programs that enhance sports skills and ensure peak performance.

Periodization of Strength Training for Sports demonstrates how to use periodized workouts to peak at optimal times by manipulating strength training variables through six training phases-anatomical adaptation, hypertrophy, maximum strength, conversion to specific strength, maintenance, and peaking.

Presents a scientific and challenging method for achieving the ultimate physique. Tudor Bompa - the exercise scientist who pioneered the concept of periodization - and Lorenzo Cornaccia, present a six-phase training programme that maximizes both strength and muscle definition.

Training and Conditioning Young Athletes, Second Edition, is the authoritative guide for maximizing athletic development through proven programming and more than 200 of the most effective exercises to increase strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, and endurance.

This is the firsthand account of how Tudor Bompa, the creator of the periodization training method, became a sports science legend. From his early years and experience with rowing, defection from communism and struggling to learn English, earning a PhD in biomechanics, and becoming a professor at the University of Toronto, to the conceptualization of periodization, Dr. Bompa details his journey and how his training methodology-periodization-evolved into the greatest method in sports science training of the 20th century.
