Physical Preparation for Team Sports: Weekly Plans [Part 5]
By Mladen Jovanovic on 29/04/2017What to do when? In the recent years I started looking at the warm-up not as “separate” part of the workout that has it’s own objectives, but as something that CAN and SHOULD be done at that current state of the organism that helps you reach workout and training objectives, while preparing you for the work to come.

Physical Preparation for Team Sports: Weekly Plans [Part 3]
By Mladen Jovanovic on 08/04/2017The dissection of the training week (microcycle) and distinction into recovery, loading and taper mini-blocks is of course artificial and represents a simple “jig” to be used to make decision making easier. In most cases we will use this simple model, but in some we need to realize it is only a model or a “jig” and we need...
