<br/><br/> "The concept of designing a training programme is a fine art and needs to done with utmost care, understanding the athletes needs at every stage of the season. Recovery sessions are rarely incorporated into sports specific training programs, Training is extremely important and should form an integral part of all elite athlete's daily routines. Training allows the body to gradually build up strength and endurance, Improve skill levels and build motivation, ambition and confidence. Training also allows athletes to gain more knowledge of their sport as well as enabling them to learn about the importance of having a healthy mind and body, The benefits of structured recovery periods are well documented both in terms of improved performances and decreased injury rates Coaches and athletes alike need to be more aware of the importance of restoration and regeneration following heavy workloads, and of how to use the modalities available to facilitate recovery. The desire to provide peak physical and psychological performances during competition necessitates rigorous preparation involving intense and stressful training, Adaptations to heavy workloads are dependent upon the athlete's physical and emotional ability to cope with increased work volumes and intensities, The overload threshold required for optimal improvement without the corresponding problems associated with overtraining is difficult for coaches to gauge. Organized into eight chapters, this book describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply sport-specific knowledge to implement a training program designed to refine the skills and performance of individuals participating in physical activities at a high performance level"-- Back cover.
