MODERN VOLLEYBALL ANALYSIS AND TRAINING PERIODIZATION
2018
The purpose of this study is to clarify the scientific approach to modern volleyball at men´s high-level and introduce the most influential studies, which still are not very well implemented in the world of volleyball. On individual level, requirements of modern volleyball consist psychological aspects like inner motivational and maintaining the focus during the game, which is difficult because there are a lot of breaks and successful and unsuccessful rallies in every volleyball match. Inner motivated player can push himself easier to the limits of his capacity during the game. Good focus and team routines keep the difference between won and lost rally small so that the player and the team …
The Effect of Different High-Intensity Periodization Models on Endurance Adaptations
2016
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of three different high-intensity training (HIT) models, balanced for total load but differing in training plan progression, on endurance adaptations. Methods: Sixty-three cyclists (peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) 61.3 ± 5.8 mL·kg−1·min−1) were randomized to three training groups and instructed to follow a 12-wk training program consisting of 24 interval sessions, a high volume of low-intensity training, and laboratory testing. The increasing HIT group (n = 23) performed interval training as 4 × 16 min in weeks 1–4, 4 × 8 min in weeks 5–8, and 4 × 4 min in weeks 9–12. The decreasing HIT group (n = 20) performed interval sessions in the opposite…
Effects of Including Sprints in One Weekly Low-Intensity Training Session During the Transition Period of Elite Cyclists
2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of including 30-s sprints in one weekly low-intensity training (LIT) session during a 3-week transition period in elite cyclists. Sixteen male elite cyclists (maximal oxygen uptake, VO2max: 72 ± 5 ml·kg−1·min−1) reduced their training load by ~60% for 3 weeks from the end of competitive season and performed only LIT or included 30-s sprints (SPR) in one weekly LIT-session. Performance and physiological capacities were evaluated during a prolonged (~2.5 h) test-session, including a strength test, a submaximal blood lactate profile test, an incremental test to exhaustion to determine VO2max, 1 h continuous cycling including four maximal…
Does periodization work? Athletes perform better in major events than in minor competitions
2021
Previous studies on periodization have led to the view that most athletes fail to peak at major events. These conclusions might be based on definitions of “peak performance” that are too narrow. In this study, a track and field athlete was defined as succeeding in a competition if their outcome was within the acceptable range from the best result of the season. The data are from seven championship finals and semifinals together with 42 Diamond League competitions from the 2010s, altogether 7,087 individual results. All field events and running events up to 400 m were included. The majority of athletes succeeded in major events (67.0% in sprint and 57.5% in field events). Overall, champions…
La influència de l´humanisme catòlic anglès a Catalunya durant el període d´entreguerres:la contribució d´Hilaire Belloc
2021
L’estudi de la popularització a Catalunya del periodisme anglès d’arrel catòlica durant els anys vint i trenta s’ha centrat bàsicament sobre la figura de G. K. Chesterton. No obstant això, el seu gran amic, el polemista Hilaire Belloc, també va tenir una certa presència a Catalunya a través del contacte directe amb el país, la traducció dels seus articles i obres i la col·laboració en mitjans catalans. El fet que Belloc fos clarament un antimodern apologeta de la fe cristiana i l’ideòleg original d’un sistema polític i econòmic d’arrel medievalitzant anomenat distributisme, així com un notable historiador i autor de biografies, va dotar la seva figura d’un caràcter polièdric i d’un interès …
La tesis de la postsecularización a la luz de la trayectoria intelectual de Jürgen Habermas
2019
espanolEl presente trabajo reconstruye argumentativamente el sentido de la idea de una ciudadania postsecular desde la perspectiva de Jurgen Habermas, a la luz de su trayectoria y produccion bibliografica. En primer lugar, ofrecemos una periodizacion de su trayectoria intelectual de acuerdo con la atencion prestada y la consideracion que juega la cuestion religiosa en cada una de las fases. Sobre la base de esta periodizacion y vision de conjunto, nos es posible apresar el sentido intrateorico del concepto normativo de postsecularizacion, y mostrar hasta que punto esta tesis constituye un giro en la trayectoria intelectual de Habermas. Despues, exponemos criticamente el sentido de las ultim…
Traditional vs daily undulling periodization in strength and local muscle endurance gains on trained men
2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of different periodization models on strength and local muscle endurance. Twenty trained men (25.45 ± 2.984 years, 75.34 ± 6.05 kg, 177.25 ± 4.92 cm, 23.96 ± 1.64 kg . m-2) were randomly assigned in two groups: undulling periodization (UPG) and traditional periodization group (TPG), respectively. All the subjects performed one repetition maximum (1-RM) strength test and a local muscle endurance test (60% of 1-RM to failure) before, during and after experimental period. The UPG executed 30 workout sessions with daily modifications regarding intensity, volume and rest period length. The TGP was divided into 3 phases (10 workout sessions in e…
Training and periodization for snowboard cross, parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom
2012
Snowboarding is a popular recreational sport, but it is also an elite sport. Snowboarding has been an Olympic sport since 1998. There will be five different snowboarding disciplines competed in Winter Olympics in Sochi 2014 (half-pipe, parallel giant slalom, parallel slalom, snowboard cross and slopestyle). Most of the snowboard cross and parallel event competitions are organized by International Ski Federation (FIS). FIS also organizes the World Cup and every second year Snowboard World Championships. Snowboarding environment is challenging. Riders are frequently exposed to training in cold environments and at high altitudes. Because snowboarding is a technical sport snowboarders spend ext…
Effects of a 10-day high-intensity interval training mesocycle on physical performance in male judo athletes
2020
Judo is an Olympic combat sport where the competition emphasizes several consecutive 20-30 seconds high-intensity efforts interspersed by short recovery periods. High-intensity block training has been found to be an efficient way to develop physical performance, wherein shorter training periods are focused on developing one or two chosen physical abilities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 10-day high-intensity interval training period on the performance in male judo athletes. The study included pre and post-tests as well as a 10-day training intervention. The subjects were 19-28 years old men who had competed at least at the Nordic level during the last year (n…
Individualized Endurance Training Based on Recovery and Training Status in Recreational Runners
2022
Purpose Long-term development of endurance performance requires a proper balance between strain and recovery. While responses and adaptations to training are highly individual, this study examined whether individually-adjusted endurance training based on recovery and training status would lead to greater adaptations compared to a predefined program. Methods Recreational runners were divided into predefined (PD, n = 14) or individualized (IND, n = 16) training groups. In IND, the training load was decreased, maintained or increased twice a week based on nocturnal heart rate variability, perceived recovery, and heart rate-running speed index. Both groups performed three-week preparatory, six-…
