Periodization of strength training in sport

This is a comprehensive, 336-page publication devoted to planning and periodization of strength training in competitive and recreational sport. Published by Wydawnictwo Galaktyka, the book is aimed at coaches, athletes and gym-goers who want to plan training cycles consciously instead of working by trial and error.

What the book covers

Periodization is a method of dividing the training process into stages with different goals and intensity - from building an endurance base, through strength phases, to peak form periods before competitions. The book explains how to construct such plans based on the principles of exercise physiology, so as to increase strength and muscle mass while limiting the risk of overtraining and injury.

Who it is for

The publication is addressed both to personal trainers and strength and conditioning coaches, and to advanced gym enthusiasts who want to better understand why certain training plans work and how to adapt them to their own goals - building mass, maximal strength or competition preparation.

Edition

The book was published in Polish, in a hardcover typical of this publisher's specialist publications, weighing about 1.1 kg - a solid, extensive volume that works well as a reference when planning successive training mesocycles.
