  • What is „harder“? –help needed

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 06/10/2012

    I am working on an annual plan that quantifies the training impulses (or training load) for most of the training methods (strength, specific conditioning using SSG and running-based conditioning) based on the intensity, volume and density of certain method. For example, strength training impulse is %1RM * volume (reps) * frequency. So, if you lift 3×5 (15) with 80%...

  • How to Make a Readiness Monitoring Using a Simple Wellness Questionnaire [Addendum]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 04/10/2012

    Just a quick update – My free Screencast account reached maximum bandwidth so the videos are not available any more. I decided to put the video files in my Dropbox account. So, if you haven’t had a chance to take a look at the videos, please make sure to download them (and other material)

  • Some thoughts on (intermittent) fasting, aging, cancer, cleansing, spirituality…

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 12/09/2012

    Weird title, right? Well, maybe. Without sounding New Age, and without making you guys think I am finally losing it, I think they are connected in a certain way. When it comes to this topic, people were mostly relying to the case studies and the word of mouth, but lately science is catching up – and it seems that...

  • Dashboard design

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 04/09/2012

    I have received quite a few emails on my last blog post.  Most of the authors asked me  how to create the dashboard that conveys clear and simple message to the viewers. Honestly, I am new in this area myself but I can point you to the following two papers by Stephen Few I found a must read: Graph design...

  • Player Monitoring – Team Dashboard

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 02/09/2012

    Player Monitoring – Team Dashboard I have been working lately on summarizing the data we collected and creating one dashboard in Excel (I am going to start using R, because I think I will be able to do more powerful data analysis and visualization and it is free). I use this sheet to store, analyze and visualize the data...

  • ‘Non-Periodized Programs’ – Are They Really Non-Periodized?

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 20/08/2012

    Recent blog post regarding the Percent-reps chart and the talk with the Donnell Boucher and Brijesh Patel on the topic of „relative intensity“ got me thinking about the post I did in June – Random Thoughts from the Training Camp. It is funny how things go round-n’-round: I have been looking for the practical solution of the conceptual...

  • Percent – Repetitions Chart

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 18/08/2012

    Percent-Repetition Chart I was looking to create a neat percent-repetitions table for the quick reference when I compare various percent-based and auto-regulatory programs out there. This could help with judging and evaluating the ‘buffer’ of each set or proximity to failure, hard-medium-easy days, weekly progression and differences in intensity, intensiveness, volume and frequency program designs. I combined data from...

  • Mike Young’s Soccer Fitness: A Science Based Approach

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 14/08/2012

    Just a quick heads up for the presentation slides by Mike Young who is a strength and conditioning coach for Vancouver WHITECAPS FC and the owner of the EliteTrack website. His Fit for Futbol blog is a must follow for all coaches interested in physical preparation of soccer players.

  • Strength in Motion – Seminar review

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 10/08/2012

    Just a quick heads up and short review of the Strength in Motion seminar by Joel Jamieson, Patrick Ward and Charlie Weingroff.  I guess the title is not adequate, since this seminar deals very little with strength or strength training, but rather it covers advanced concepts of training individualization, monitoring, rehab and prehab strategies, HRV, work capacity, etc.  I...

  • Blog re-design…

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 08/08/2012

    I decided to give my blog a new look, since the old one looked like a ‘spiritual’ site rather than sport (science) blog. You may notice that I change the templates over time until I find one that fits in terms of colors and readability. If you have any input on this please let me know. Besides this I...
