Programming

First question to ask before programming a set, rept etc = What adaptation do I want?

Force velocity curve only applies to concentric contractions
We want to aim to increase our biological max speed, strength, power (Force), and speed,
speed-strength (Velocity)

After a needs analysis, the next step in programming is:
● Exercise selection
● Training volume
● Training frequency

Exercise selection variables
● Chain - Open/closed
● Joint - Single/multi
● Plane of movement - Sagittal/frontal/horizontal
● Direction
● …


Factors to consider for training frequency
● Competition
● Training age
● Age
● Training status
● Maturation
● Stress
● Lifestyle commitments
● Technical coach
● Gym availability
● Injury
● Goal of microcycle
● Distance for travel
● Technical training intensity
● Technical training frequency
● School/education
● Sport season
