M.M.A. : Training adaptation to competition with Borg scale

by A. Manolova | 25 Janvier 2019

The Borg scale allows a valid and subjective assessment by the athlete of the intensity of the perceived effort. This method could be useful for the strength and conditioning of fighting sports.

Use of elastic bands in squat and performance benefits

by P. Debraux | 26 June 2018

The ability to generate high level of force as quickly as possible is a critical factor in many sports. To work this physical quality, there are different methodologies including variable resistance training with elastic bands...

Effects of concurrent training in endurance and strength for high-level kayakers

by A. Manolova | 1 June 2018

The endurance and strength training cause distinct and often divergent adaptation mechanisms. This is why in sports where both of these qualities are necessary, it seems important to optimize the training periodization.
