El entrenamiento de la fuerza es fundamental en el desarrollo de los deportistas, y sus programas de entrenamiento deben estar perfectamente estructurados en fases. La periodización designa el tipo de fuerza que se debe desarrollar en cada fase para garantizar que se alcancen niveles máximos de potencia o resistencia muscular. Esta nueva edición de Periodización del entrenamiento deportivo nos enseña a realizar sesiones de entrenamiento periodizadas para conseguir picos de forma física en momentos óptimos mediante la manipulación de las variables del entrenamiento de la fuerza a lo largo de seis fases de entrenamiento (adaptación anatómica, hipertrofia, fuerza máxima, conversión en fuerza específica, mantenimiento y definición), y a integrarlas con el entrenamiento de los sistemas de energía y con estrategias de nutrición. Gracias a un análisis en profundidad de los programas de estructuración del entrenamiento de la fuerza según las características fisiológicas de cada deporte y las características del atleta, tanto entrenadores como atletas y deportistas de 35 disciplinas podrán obtener los mejores resultados. Acompañado por multitud de calendarios de entrenamiento, esta obra constituye el mejor planificador para mejorar la condición física y obtener los máximos beneficios de las sesiones de entrenamiento propuestas.

Team Sports Training: The Complexity Model presents a novel approach to team sports training, examining football (soccer), rugby, field hockey, basketball, handball and futsal through the paradigm of complexity. Under a traditional prism, these sports have been analyzed using a deterministic perspective, where the constituent dimensions of the sportsmen were independently examined and treated in isolation. It was expected that the body worked as a perfect machine and, once all the components were maximized, the sportsmen improved their performance. If the same closed recipe was applied to all the players that formed part of the squad, the global team performance was expected to be enhanced. As much as these reductionistic models seem coherent, when contrasted in practice we see that the reality of team sports is far more different from the closed conditions in which they were idealized. Team sports contain variable, heterogeneous and non-linear constrains which require the development of a different logic to organize their training. During the last years, ecological psychology, the dynamical systems theory or the constraints-led approach have opened interesting fields of research from which many conceptual foundations can be applied to team sports. Based in this contemporary framework, the current book presents the study of the players and the teams as complex systems, using coordination dynamics to explain the emergence of the self-organisation episodes that characterize them. In addition, this thinking line provides the reader with the ability to apply all these innovative concepts to their practical training scenarios. Altogether, it is intended to challenge the reader to re-think their training strategy and to develop an original theory and practice of training specific to team sports.

El entrenamiento de la fuerza tiene capital importancia para el desarrollo de los deportistas, pero debe consistir en algo más que en levantar pesas sin un plan o propósito específicos. El fin de cualquier método o técnica de entrenamiento debe ser preparar a los deportistas para la competición, es decir, prepararlos para la prueba ideal en que se muestran sus cualidades, habilidades y preparación psicológica. Este libro enseña a emplear la periodización de la fuerza con el fin de estructurar los programas de entrenamiento de la fuerza y especificar cuáles son los mejores métodos de entrenamiento en cada fase del mismo. En la primera parte se repasan las principales teorías que han influido en el entrenamiento de la fuerza y se explica el concepto por el cual la potencia y la resistencia muscular son una cualidad física combinada. En la segunda parte se estudian con detalle todas las fases que componen la periodización de la fuerza. Aparecen los métodos de entrenamiento disponibles para cada fase a fin de que los deportistas alcancen el mayor rendimiento posible. El último capítulo destaca la importancia de la recuperación en el entrenamiento de la fuerza y da información para una más rápida recuperación después de los entrenamientos.

When it comes to training for climbing, there is an overwhelming amount of information out there. In The Science of Climbing Training, top Spanish climbing coach Sergio Consuegra has analysed our sporting needs from the perspective of exercise and sports science to provide an evidence-based approach to training for climbing. It is designed to help us improve climbing performance, whether we're taking the next step in our training as we work towards a project, or if we're a coach looking to optimise our athletes' training. It doesn't contain any 'magic' training methods, because there are none – although you might be shocked by the science behind some popular methods. The first part explains what training is and how different training methods are governed by the physiological and biomechanical processes that occur in the body. The second part looks at how to improve specific needs (such as finger strength and forearm muscle endurance) and general needs (such as basic physical conditioning, pulling strength, pushing strength, strength training for injury prevention) for the different demands and types of climbing and bouldering. The third and final part suggests the best ways to fit it all together. It looks at adjusting training volume and intensity, and tapering to encourage supercompensation, all to help us achieve improved performance, whether it's a breaking into a higher grade, ticking that long-standing project or climbing a dream route.

Sport conditioning has advanced tremendously since the era when a “no pain, no gain” philosophy guided the training regimens of athletes. Dr. Tudor Bompa pioneered most of these breakthroughs, proving long ago that it's not only how much and how hard an athlete works but also when and what work is done that determine an athlete's conditioning level. Periodization Training for Sports goes beyond the simple application of bodybuilding or powerlifting programs to build strength in athletes. In this new edition of Periodization Training for Sports, Bompa teams with strength and conditioning expert Carlo Buzzichelli to demonstrate 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 tapering) and integrating them with energy system training and nutrition strategies. Coaches and athletes in 35 sports have at their fingertips a proven program that is sure to produce the best results. No more guessing about preseason conditioning, in-season workloads, or rest and recovery periods; now it's simply a matter of identifying and implementing the information in this book. Presented with plenty of ready-made training schedules, Periodization Training for Sports is your best conditioning planner if you want to know what works, why it works, and when it works in the training room and on the practice field. Get in better shape next season and reap the benefits of smarter workouts in competition. Own what will be considered the bible of strength training for sport of the next decade.

Based on scientific evidence, Training and Conditioning for MMA covers physical training, nutrition, and injury prevention for all martial arts disciplines. It uses actual training programs and showcases real examples from countless elite MMA fighters.
