Components Of Athleticism

Whether you are an athlete, a trainer or a coach, this course will teach you the main principles that you need to know when building athleticism. Since those concepts apply to all sports, this course is perfect for you, if you want to improve your sports performance specifically for your preferred sport.

As a trained biomechanist, a basketball trainer and an athlete myself, I study the science of human locomotion and find ways to analyze and optimize movements. This course contains lots of valuable scientifically proven knowledge that I have gained over the years. Let me share it with you.

I will take you through all the important matters related to the components of athleticism, starting with the properties of muscle, the strength qualities, all the way to some practical training examples.

After finishing this course, you will be able to:

Understand what makes up athleticism
Start taking your athleticism to the next level
Build your training based on your specific needs

The following topics will be covered in this course:

Muscle Properties

How are muscles built?
How do muscles contract?
What's the relationship between the force a muscle can produce and its length?
Which muscle contraction forms are there?
What's the relationship between the force production of a muscle and its contraction velocity?
What's the role of the nervous system regarding athletic performance?

Strength Qualities

In which individual qualities can we divide strength?
How can we train those qualities and how do they influence each other?
What's the relationship between maximal strength and maximal velocity/speed?
What exactly is the meaning of power in relation to strength?
How can we track our training progress?

Components Of Athleticism
