Strength training in sports

The course combines a theoretical lecture with practical demonstrations. Participants should bring suitable sportswear.

The theoretical part introduces the fundamental principles of strength training, with a focus on developing the major muscle groups. The practical part focuses primarily on squat technique and assessment, jumping and take-off exercises, and complex free-weight exercises, including the clean and jerk and related exercises used in strength and conditioning.

The practical strength exercises and assessment methods are suitable for coaches working with both children and adults. The course also addresses the key differences in the principles and methods of strength development in children and adults.
