The Complete Guide to Resistance Training Program Design | Full Lecture

The lecture focuses on creating resistance training programs, emphasizing a science-based approach loosely based on CSCS guidelines. It begins with a needs analysis, which includes assessing sport-specific demands (physiological, biomechanical, and psychological aspects) and individual athlete evaluations (physical capacities, technical skills, injury history, and goals). Training frequency is determined by aligning with training objectives, individual factors like recovery capacity, age, and experience, and balancing workload with recovery. Exercise selection involves choosing movements that target specific muscle groups and performance goals, considering specificity, safety, and efficiency, and progressing from less to more complex exercises. The lecture also covers training load, repetitions, volume, exercise order, rest periods, and periodization, highlighting the importance of adjusting the program based on athlete feedback and monitoring.
