Training science & periodization in bodybuilding

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. You will learn how training affects the body, which adaptation mechanisms are triggered and how you can use these specifically to build muscle and improve performance.

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.
