In Training Science & Periodization in Bodybuilding, you will acquire in-depth knowledge of the scientific principles of strength training and their practical application in bodybuilding.

An essential part of the module is periodization, i.e. the systematic planning and control of training cycles. You will learn how to vary training intensity, volume and frequency in order to avoid plateaus and achieve continuous progress. Various periodization models (linear, undulating, block periodization) are presented and applied to different target groups - from beginners to competitive athletes.
You will also deal with load control, the integration of regeneration and the application of current scientific findings in everyday training. Practical examples and case studies will help you to implement the content directly into your athletes' training planning. This module will make you an expert in training management in bodybuilding.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
