Tudor Bompa revolutionized Western training methods when he
introduced his groundbreaking theory of periodization in Romania in
1963. He has since gone on to become a world-renowned exercise
scientist and the foremost authority on periodization and the
development of biomotor abilities. In Periodization of Strength
Training for Sports, Fourth Edition, Bompa partners with
international strength and conditioning expert Carlo Buzzichelli to
go beyond the simple application of bodybuilding or powerlifting
programs to show you what training to schedule—and when—to
build athletic strength and maximize performance at the right time.
Periodization of Strength Training for Sports demonstrates how to
use periodized workouts to peak at optimal times by manipulating
strength training variables through six training
phases—anatomical adaptation, hypertrophy, maximum strength,
conversion to specific strength, maintenance, and peaking. Coaches
and athletes in 30 sports now have at their fingertips proven
programs that take into consideration the specific phases and
unique demands of their sport, along with information about the
dominant energy system, limiting factors for performance, and
objectives for strength training. No more guessing about preseason
conditioning, in-season workloads, or rest and recovery
periods—now it’s simply a matter of implementing the strategies
in this book. Rather than experiment with untested training
regimens, let the proven science and ready-made training schedules
go to work for you. Periodization of Strength Training for Sports
eliminates the guesswork and establishes a clear path to achieving
the best results for peaking at the ideal time. Earn continuing

Integrated Periodization in Sports Training & Athletic
Development considers the large problem of training specialists
working in isolation and builds a case for integrated periodization
as conceived by Tudor Bompa. The book begins by defining
periodization as a specific theory and methodology, historically
detailing how the term was formally derived, differentiating it
from the current view of periodization as a Russian concept. Next,
the authors clarify some common misconceptions of periodization by
integrating evidence-based practice with an emphasis on sports
nutrition, psychological preparation, and training methodology. The
book explores sport-specific applications of integrated
periodization, development of biomotor abilities, and long-term
planning. A novel paradigm for viewing adaptation is introduced,
moving past homeostasis to include allostasis, and one approach
(Maximum Recoverable Volume) that may be used to more effectively
manage fatigue is detailed. Finally, the book includes a chapter on
tapering strategies to peak athletes for competition using an
integrated approach
