Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to develop students' ability to manage and continuously adjust strength and conditioning within the context of real-world sports preparation. Students learn to use information on training load, readiness, fatigue, recovery, and competition schedule when making subsequent training decisions. The course also includes critical evaluation of recovery strategies and supplementation used in elite sport.
Upon completion of the course, the student is able to: - explain the fundamental principles of planning and periodisation in athlete preparation; - distinguish between internal and external training load; - select appropriate monitoring tools; - interpret information on athlete readiness and fatigue; - design a simple monitoring system for their own sporting practice; - adjust training according to the athlete's current condition and context; - explain the role of recovery within athlete preparation; - critically evaluate selected recovery strategies; - modify strength and conditioning during the competitive period; - explain the fundamental principles of tapering; - critically evaluate the use of sports supplements; - consider safety and anti-doping risks related to supplementation; - integrate training, monitoring, recovery, and nutrition into the decision-making process.
