By Mladen Jovanovic on 29/12/2010Don’t get into details of the plan too much, since I didn’t manage to put it into use. Why? Because I haven’t seen the athletes before making it, who were young girls that did not need such an “advanced” and complex planning at the first place.

Periodization Confusion?
By Mladen Jovanovic on 25/12/2010I have recently been reading Transfer of Training (Volume 2) by Dr Anatoly Bondarchuk and watching video(s) by Derek Evely. To understand their classification of training systems it is necessary to understand the classification of the exercises based on the specificity criteria. Thus, Bondarchuk identified four groups of exercises/methods.

I was thinking which one was better, harder, puke inducing, etc. Which one should be done all the time, which one was better choice. Over time, I started being more interested into...

Strengths~Weaknesses
By Mladen Jovanovic on 17/12/2010Strengths~Weaknesses Should athletes work on improving their weaknesses OR emphasizing their strengths in the training process? The answer to this question is of course it depends. The relationship between organism~environment determines the strengths and the weaknesses of the athletes. Based on the evaluation of the strengths and the weaknesses training goals are proposed. The question is again should we...
