Thebest training for soccer players is both sport and game specific. Practice isthen run with the aim of perfecting tactics and techniques. But this is not thefull picture. Players must also be fast and agile; they must have speed andendurance. To best train the muscles needed for speed and agility, coachesshould introduce strength training and conditioning into their trainingprograms, and Training & Conditioning for Soccer is the perfect bookto help coaches do exactly that.First,the reader is introduced to the sport of soccer and the fundamentals of thegame; physiological demands and training methodology needed to develop strengthand power are part of the basics of training. Then, the following chapterscover the best training methods for developing game- and position-specificendurance. Included in these chapters are brief discussions of those morepopular yet ineffective training methods used today, clarifying why the methodsin this book are superior for training speed and agility in soccer players.Finally, the reader is given examples of training models, including how tocreate their own models that will train their players in all aspects of thegame. The reader will also find here example training plans for each physicalability that should be developed as well as the best strength trainingexercises to incorporate into soccer practice.Written by Tudor Bompa, the creator of periodizationtraining, Training & Conditioning in Soccer is the best guide forintroducing strength training into soccer practice to develop fast and agile players.

Learn how to maximize training gains with Tudor O. Bompa, the pioneer of periodization training, and Carlo A. Buzzichelli, one of the world's foremost experts on training methods, in the sixth edition of Periodization: Theory and Methodology of Training. Guided by the authors' expertise, the sixth edition offers information central to understanding the latest research and practices related to training theory while providing scientific support for the fundamental principles of periodization. The sixth edition of this definitive text presents a comprehensive discussion of periodization based on the philosophy of Tudor Bompa. It features the following: • A review of the history, terms, and theories related to periodization • Discussion of the importance of designing a sport-specific and competition-level annual plan and discarding any one-size-fits-all approach • An expanded chapter on the integration of biomotor abilities within the training process • Comprehensive updates to the information on training sessions, microcycles, and macrocycles • An expanded chapter on the methods for developing muscle strength, including manipulation of loading variables and the conversion to specific strength • A more detailed explanation of speed and agility training, differentiating between individual and team sports In addition to applying periodization models to resistance training, Periodization also discusses sport-specific endurance. You'll be introduced to different methods of testing and developing endurance, including the physiological basis for each method. Instructors will also find a newly added image bank, allowing access to tables and figures in the text for use when creating lecture materials. Periodization: Theory and Methodology of Training presents the latest refinements to Bompa's theories on periodization to help you create training programs that enhance sport skills and ensure peak performance.

Tudor Bompa revolutionized Western training methods when he introduced his groundbreaking theory of periodization in Romania in 1963. He has since gone on to become a world-renowned exercise scientist and the foremost authority on periodization and the development of biomotor abilities. In Periodization of Strength Training for Sports, Fourth Edition, Bompa partners with international strength and conditioning expert Carlo Buzzichelli to go beyond the simple application of bodybuilding or powerlifting programs to show you what training to schedule-and when-to build athletic strength and maximize performance at the right time.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. Coaches and athletes in 30 sports now have at their fingertips proven programs that take into consideration the specific phases and unique demands of their sport, along with information about the dominant energy system, limiting factors for performance, and objectives for strength training. No more guessing about preseason conditioning, in-season workloads, or rest and recovery periods-now it’s simply a matter of implementing the strategies in this book.Rather than experiment with untested training regimens, let the proven science and ready-made training schedules go to work for you. Periodization of Strength Training for Sports eliminates the guesswork and establishes a clear path to achieving the best results for peaking at the ideal time.Earn continuing education credits/units!
