Hypertrophy training: The Complete Guide (plus workouts)
Hypertrophy development is valuable as increased muscle mass is beneficial to athletic performance and a necessity for many sports.
Strength & Conditioning is the practical application of exercise prescription in order to improve the physical performance of athletes. For example, it focuses on strength and power training, aerobic and anaerobic development, movement quality, and speed enhancement.
As the world of strength and conditioning is very complex, our aim is to simplify the science so that coaches, athletes, and everybody else can understand how to use these training methods in order to optimise sports performance.
Hypertrophy development is valuable as increased muscle mass is beneficial to athletic performance and a necessity for many sports.
The countermovement jump (CMJ) is a simple, practical, valid, and very reliable measure of lower-body power.
The 30-15 IFT measures aerobic and anaerobic capacity, change of direction qualities, and ability to recover during intermittent exercise.
Velocity-based training is simply a method of training which uses a piece of technology to track the movement speed of the exercise.

Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) is the lowest running speed at which VO2 max occurs, and is typically referred to as the ‘velocity at VO2 max’.
These are the most important fundamental studies every S&C coach needs to read if they’re truly serious about their career and development.
The 30-15 IFT measures aerobic and anaerobic capacity, change of direction qualities, and ability to recover during intermittent exercise.
The reactive strength index measures the reactive jump capacity of athletes, and how they cope with the stress from plyometric exercises.
If you want to be a sports scientist, then you’d best get familiar with the work produced by this list of experts.
The countermovement jump (CMJ) is a simple, practical, valid, and very reliable measure of lower-body power.
Although chain-resistance training has become popular among coaches and athletes, there’s still a lack of understanding as to how it works.
Training programmes using elastic bands have been shown to improve maximal strength and power after seven weeks.
A needs analysis is the process of determining what qualities are necessary for the athlete, the sport, or a combination of both.
