This module will focus on analysing the crucial aspect of designing a training process, which is to analyse the event for which the training is intended. The course will examine the demands of the event both physiologically and externally.
It will focus on what happens when a human being plays football. The module will provide an accurate understanding that will then be used to design effective training methods. It will provide insights into the analysis of the context for designing training methods.
This module will focus on performance enhancement and fatigue management in football. The module will cover various aspects such as assessing different factors to categorise and monitor players' performance, identifying aspects of fatigue to prevent overtraining or increased risk of fatigue, and understanding the importance of mental and cognitive assessments.
The module will include classes on biomarker monitoring and interpretation, practical physiological heart rate monitoring, body composition assessment, database creation for the medical management of performance data, and follow-up monitoring in a football team.
This module focuses on the importance of measuring physical values to improve performance in football. The module emphasises that measurement is the basis for improvement and not to be intrusive when measuring and assessing players.
The module covers topics such as the different physical values to measure, how to measure them accurately and how to evaluate the results to improve performance.
This module focuses on workload control for physical trainers. The module covers a range of technical means to control the workload of players, with the best specialists in the field sharing their knowledge.
The aim is to make workload monitoring simple and effective, starting with basic questions to athletes and progressing to more complex methods.
This module will covers the first part of a topic that concerns physical trainers, which is the training of players' fatigue resistance.
The module is divided into two parts due to its density and focuses on the daily training process. As football is played for 90 minutes or more, fatigue endurance is essential for players.
This module covers the means, methods and interventions necessary to improve the fatigue resistance of football players. The second part of the content will focus more on the practical aspects of the training process, including game analysis, task design and complementary classes indirectly related to fatigue resistance. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of how to design effective training programmes to improve the fatigue endurance of football players.
This module focuses on training methods to increase the ability of football players to perform better in high intensity actions. It differs from traditional strength training in that it does not focus on injury prevention, but on direct performance improvement through mechanically similar exercises with some form of overload. It will be shown in a practical and effective way.
This module focuses on physical preparation for injury prevention in football. The module aims to help S&C understand how to prevent common injuries in football and how to treat chronic injuries that can affect a player's performance. You will go through specific exercises and techniques for injury prevention and maintenance of player health, ultimately contributing to improved performance.
This module will cover injury prevention for physical trainers in detail, focusing on strength training methods and specific injuries such as hamstring and ACL injuries. The course will also examine the best protocols for preventing these injuries and how to treat chronically injured players who have ongoing pain or problems that need to be addressed.
This module focuses on training methods that aim to increase players' impulsion capacity and high-intensity performance. The primary goal of the module is to increase performance rather than injury prevention, and the module is designed to equip trainers with the knowledge and skills to train athletes for high-intensity actions and enhance their performance through mechanically similar exercises with some overload.
This module will cover the differences between concurrent and isolated training in football and their respective benefits and drawbacks. It will be shown differents strategies to avoid detraining during the off-season and optimise pre-season strength and conditioning for football players. Periodisation of strength and conditioning during the season, prescribing training loads in football and periodisation based on tactical concepts will be explored.
The module focuses on providing practical examples of pre-season and in-season strength & conditioning periodization for football players. The content will highlight the importance of designing and implementing effective training plans to improve physical performance and prevent injuries. Students will gain a better understanding of the application of periodization in football training and will be able to apply this knowledge to design their own training programs.
This module will focus on the importance of warm-up in training. The module will be taught from both a theoretical and practical perspective, focusing on the control of all elements that influence an athlete's performance.
The module is designed to provide coaches with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop effective warm-up routines that can enhance athletes' performance while reducing the risk of injury based on the latest research on warm-up techniques.
