In this groundbreaking book, Prof. Dr. Jan Olbrecht, a renowned expert in physiology and biomechanics, shares his revolutionary approach to training and conditioning for professional athletes. Drawing on his extensive experience as a training adviser to world-class athletes, Olbrecht presents a method that goes beyond traditional training paradigms.
Key Features:
Scientific Expertise: With a Ph.D. in physiology and biomechanics, Prof. Dr. Jan Olbrecht brings unparalleled scientific rigor to his coaching methodology. His insights are based on meticulous planning and cutting-edge lactate testing techniques.
A Coach’s Manual: Olbrecht’s book serves as an essential manual for modern coaches. It equips them with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions during planning and periodization. Coaches will discover how to anticipate and optimize conditioning adaptations specific to each athlete.
Accessible Wisdom: Written in a clear and understandable style, this book bridges the gap between scientific research and practical application. Coaches, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts alike will find Olbrecht’s insights applicable to their training situations.
Reimagining Endurance Training: Olbrecht challenges conventional wisdom by asserting that training at anaerobic threshold speeds isn’t necessarily the most effective way to enhance aerobic endurance. Instead, he advocates for developing both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to optimal—not maximum—levels. This nuanced approach ensures peak performance in competitive settings.
Updated Insights: Olbrecht’s work is informed by refined outcomes from a re-analysis of anaerobic capacity exercises. Long-distance swimmers, in particular, will benefit from the revised descriptions provided in this edition.
