Course objectiveAims and objectives of this course is to have students to learn the following concepts and gain some skills in the foundations and physiomechanics of strength, different forms of strength and methods of training in the development of strength; different tests, measurements and evaluation, planning and periodizing of strength. Students learn the physiomechanics of speed and agility; identifies the components and becomes familiar with some exercises, learn the testing and evaluation, and planning training of speed and agility. Similarly, identifies the physiomechanics of flexibility; different training methods employed in different age groups, tests and measurements in the evaluation of flexibility, and improvising training according to test results. Learns the components of tapering in different Sports.

  3. Physiomechanics of speed and agility, Components of speed and agility, Training for speed and agility, Photocell testing devices and testing of running velocity, Development of flexibility: Physiomechanical properties of flexibilty
  4. Different flexibility forms, Flexibility trainings: PNF, aktive flexibility, pasive flexibility, Tests and measurements of flexibility,
  5. Training organization of microcycle: Microcycle and training components of different sports, Training components of mesocycle, Training and fatigue:
  6. Overload/ Fatigue / Regeneration, Conrol of fatigue: Training planning, Control of fatigue: Nutrition and periodization, Rest and sleep
  7. Altitude training and periodization
  8. Women athletes and training: Menstruation, Limits of human performance and training
Course ContentThis course contains the physiomechanical aspects, and training components and methods of strength, speed, and flexibility, dealing with them in the context of training and planning in weekly and monthly trainings. It also deals with some issues in training and fatigue, and some specific issues in altitude training and planning, women athletes and menstrual cycle, and human performance limits and training.
