Course objectiveAims and objectives of this course is to have students to learn the following concepts and gain some skills in the effect and control of training load to the organism; how the training planning can influence the training effect, and how the influence would change by different organization of training; specificty, overload fatigue-adaptation, reversibility, progressive load, alternative loading, individuality principles of training, weekly, monthly, and yearly planninig concepts of training, how the periodization would differ in different Sports and objectives, endurance concept and basic physiological and training components of endurance training, observation of the development of endurance, formation of training according to different components of endurance.  
Learning outcomes
  1. Control of training load and its effects to the organism
  2. How effective is the training planning
  3. How different organization and planning of training would change or alter the training influence,
  4. Learning and understanding of specificity, overload-fatigue-adaptation, reversibility, progressive loading, alternative loading, individuality principles of training,
  5. Weekly, monthly, and yearly planning concept of training, and how this concept would variate according to different Sports and objectives and influence the training outcome,
  6. Endurance concept and basic physiological training components of endurance, and learning to connect different training components in endurance training
  7. Control and observation of the development of endurance ability, and constructing endurance training according to observations
Course ContentIt contains coaching science within sport science. It deals with training, training components, and concepts of training frequency, volume, intensity, variety, duration, overload-fatigue-adaptation, specificity of training, reversibility, alternative loading, progressive loading, and individuality. Addresses the weekly, monthly, and yearly planning and periodization of training; it deals with growth, development, and maturity and deals with long term planning. It deals with child athlete, and long term planning for athlete development. It contains the concept of control and observation of the development of endurance ability, and constructing and evaluating endurance training according to observations and tests in lab and field settings.
