Course contents

Endurance.

- Classification: according to the metabolic appointment and to the duration of the performances.

            ^ Long duration endurance and subtypes (I - II - III).

            ^ Middle duration endurance.

^ Short duration endurance.

            ^ Speed endurance.

- Factors affecting endurance: Anatomy-physiological factors, biochemical and metabolic factors, them correlations with capacity and power: aerobics, anaerobic lactic and alactacid.

- Anaerobic threshold concept.

- The evaluation with maximal test (Cooper) or incremental tests (Conconi, Mader).

- The evolution during the life of the different endurance abilities.

- Means and methods of training: Continuous, interval-training and repetition-training.

- Examples with specification of the training load for the different sports.

 

Strength.

- Classification: Maximal strength (and relative strength), speed strength, endurance strength.

- Anatomy-physiological performance factors: muscular, nervous, and coordinative.

- The evaluation of strength:

            ^ Maximal test and test with the repetition maximum (RM),

^ Field test for speed strength (standing jumps and throwing, tools applied to the evaluation),

- The evolution during the life of strength and the gender differences.

- Means and methods of training:

            ^ Natural load exercises,

            ^The circuit-training

            ^Weight training exercises for the various strength types,

* Concentric methods (maximal and sub maximal loads, series, repetitions and contrast of loads)

* Pyramidal methods

* Eccentric and plyometric methods

* Isometric methods

* Hypertrophy methods (pre and post loaded)

* Electrical stimulation methods.

- The equipments for the strength training from the barbell to the isotonic and isokinetic devices,

- The execution of correct exercises and the principles for the prevention of injures.

 

Speed and rapidity.

- Classification: reaction time, cyclic and acyclic rapidity.

- Factors of performance: muscular, nervous, and coordinative.

- The evaluation: test of simple and complex motor reaction, test of rapidity and speed run.

- The evolution during the life of the rapidity.

- Means and methods of training: the maximal exercises, the decreased load methods to surpass the "speed barrier"

 

The coordinative abilities.

Classification: General and specific ability.

            ^ kinestetic and spatial differentiation ability,

            ^ space and time orientation ability

            ^  the ability of movement connection

            ^ static and dynamic balance ability

            ^ rhythm movement ability

            ^ motor adaptation ability

- Neuro-psychological factors basis of performance:

            ^ nervous system maturation,

            ^ receptors and afferent information,

            ^ motor patterns, memorization and connection,

            ^ new motor patterns elaboration and creation.

- Evaluation of the coordinative abilities.

- Evolution during the life and sensitive phases.

- Means and methods of training for the different abilities.

 

The technical and tactical preparation

- Background factors for the technique and tactic learning.

- The evaluation of the technique and tactic

- The motor patterns and the learning phases: raw coordination, fine coordination, varying availability.

- The demonstration, the identification of the errors, the correction and the other didactic interventions.

- Means and methods of training in the various phases of learning, exercises: preliminary, fundamental, of improvement phase, with difficult conditions.

 

The flexibility or joint mobility.

Classification: static and dynamics, passive and active flexibility.

- Factors: bones, joints, muscular, nervous

- Evolution during the life and gender differences.

- Means and methods of training: static, dynamic, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF).
