Book excerpt: It was my ambition to bring out a book on planning different structural units of training and the structure of long term plans. Many coaches find it difficult to make proper logical structural units of training because there is a paucity of literature pertaining to this area. I hope this book will be highly useful to the coaches and trainers for doing the complicated job of planning their training programmes more easily. This book presents the latest scientific information and theoretical framework of planning different training units as well as other aspects of training. Chapter 1 deals with the basic principles of planning, factors involved in planning training programmes and the Training Principles. Chapter 2 is about the planning of competitions, types of competitions, peaking for competition, tapering, Aim of taper, Physiological effects of tapering, biochemical changes, immune responses effects, strength and Power, Psychological effects, performance changes, types of taper, designing taper programme, reduction of training volume, reduction of training intensity, reduction of training frequencies, taper duration, and other important considerations during the taper such as tapering and travel, enhancing recovery during taper and nutrition hydration during taper. Chapter 3 describes planning of training loads, load components, classification of loads, functions of training load and judgement of training load. Chapter 4 is about Fatigue and Fatigue Management in Training, central mechanism of fatigue, peripheral fatigue model, central governor model of fatigue, monitoring of training fatigue, performance test, measures of neuromuscular function, biochemical markers, Questionnaires, profile of mood states, recovery-Stress Questionnaire for athletes, daily analysis of life demand and bio markers of muscle fatigue. Chapter 5 presents an in-depth idea of Adaptation process in sports training, phases of adaptation, hypothetical-theoretical, mechanism of adaptation, general Adaptation Syndrome theory, Super compensation theory, fitness –fatigue theory, types of adaptation, and biochemical aspects of adaptations, and the mechanism and limitations to adaptation. Chapter 6 deals with planning of recovery, types of recovery, factors affecting recovery, recovery pattern, post workout recovery strategies, types of fatigue, planning the recovery programme, nutrition and hydration strategies, means of recovery, pedagogical means, physiotherapeutic means, pharmacological means, psychological recovery techniques, monitoring training, educating the athlete, selecting appropriate recovery techniques, different approaches to the use of recovery and planning of recovery means. Chapter 7 deals with overtraining, overtraining and overreaching, reasons for overtraining, symptoms, types of overtraining, manifestation of overtraining, diagnosis of overtraining and preventing overtraining syndrome. Chapter 8 addresses planning of training session, classification and organization of training sessions. Chapter 9 addresses planning of micro cycles, classification of micro cycles, organization of training sessions in micro cycles and structure of micro cycles with different magnitude and direction loads. Chapter 10 describes planning of one day training programme. Chapter 11 describes meso cycles, types of meso cycles and combination of micro cycles within meso cycle. Chapter 12 is about planning of macro cycles, periodization of training with macro cycles, physiological basis of periodization, types of periodization, training periods, technology of planning. and periodization models. Chapter 13 gives the basic understanding of the structure of long term plans and different stages of long term plans.

Book excerpt: "A transfixing book on how to sustain peak performance and avoid burnout" —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Option B, Originals, and Give and Take "An essential playbook for success, happiness, and getting the most out of ourselves." Arianna Huffington, author of Thrive and The Sleep Revolution "I doubt anyone can read Peak Performance without itching to apply something to their own lives." —David Epstein, New York Times bestselling author of The Sports Gene A few common principles drive performance, regardless of the field or the task at hand. Whether someone is trying to qualify for the Olympics, break ground in mathematical theory or craft an artistic masterpiece, many of the practices that lead to great success are the same. In Peak Performance, Brad Stulberg, a former McKinsey and Company consultant and writer who covers health and the science of human performance, and Steve Magness, a performance scientist and coach of Olympic athletes, team up to demystify these practices and demonstrate how you can achieve your best. The first book of its kind, Peak Performance combines the inspiring stories of top performers across a range of capabilities—from athletic to intellectual and artistic—with the latest scientific insights into the cognitive and neurochemical factors that drive performance in all domains. In doing so, Peak Performance uncovers new linkages that hold promise as performance enhancers but have been overlooked in our traditionally-siloed ways of thinking. The result is a life-changing book in which you can learn how to enhance your performance via myriad ways including: optimally alternating between periods of intense work and rest; priming the body and mind for enhanced productivity; and developing and harnessing the power of a self-transcending purpose. In revealing the science of great performance and the stories of great performers across a wide range of capabilities, Peak Performance uncovers the secrets of success, and coaches you on how to use them. If you want to take your game to the next level, whatever "your game" may be, Peak Performance will teach you how.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All activities which are part of human behaviour were subject to a long-term development. The result of the activity in both examples can be considered a performance. Performance is understood as an extent to which motor task is accomplished. In the case of the athlete, performance is evaluated following rules of the sports discipline which were set in advance, it is expressed by the length of the throw and is understood as a sports performance. An ability to achieve a given performance repeatedly is referred to as efficiency. Sport training is understood as a process of systematic development of each component in dependence on the duration of preparation which leads to achieving maximum efficiency in senior age within the selected sports discipline. Sports training focus on cultivating the athlete’s personality; further, it focuses on systematic development of motor abilities and the process of acquiring motor skills within the specific sports discipline. It is implemented at different performance and age levels. Features of sports training can be found in various forms. The aim of sports training is to achieve maximum individual or team efficiency in a selected sports discipline limited by rules. To develop the physical education, culture it is essential the concept of sports training should be familiar to physical education teachers and coaches. Knowing the principles of sports training alone is not enough, teachers and coaches should be well versed with the methods and means of sports training, so that this knowledge can be successfully applied on the field. The personality and professional knowledge of the coach, teacher, trainer or instructor play a crucial part in the quality of sports training implemented. Therefore, to meet this principle, the coach must be able to integrate pieces of knowledge across the fields like anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, psychology, sociology, theory of motor learning and didactics. The subject of sports training is highly dynamic in nature. As a result of constant research, new knowledge is being evolved which in turn can be effectively utilized to enable sports persons to enhance their performance capacity and readiness of performance. During the recent years some literature, in this area, has been produces, but much of the literature reflects communistic philosophy. Therefore there is a dire need to bring out a book on this topic to meet the demand of the students of physical education courses.
