Velocity-Based Training: How to Apply Science, Technology, and Data to Maximize Performance (EPUB)

For many years, strength coaches choose loads for particular stages of program design based only on one-repetition maximum percentages. However, because velocity-based training measures athletes’ explosive power precisely by tracking their body and bar speeds, an increasing number of coaches are now using it. Velocity-Based Training, one of the first publications of its kind to discuss this innovative approach to boosting explosive power, examines in detail how to integrate velocity-based training (VBT) into an athlete’s training regimen. In addition to working with players from the Minnesota Twins, Anaheim Angels, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Seattle Mariners, author Nunzio Signore is one of New York’s most sought-after strength and conditioning instructors. Signore will teach you how to increase your athletes’ strength, speed, and power at a faster pace through the use of velocity-based training. You’ll discover the following:

descriptions of the many VBT device kinds, together with their benefits and drawbacks, so you may choose the one that best suits your needs.
Guidelines for evaluating athlete preparedness using VBT and establishing precise training settings for optimal outcomes
Details on how to use VBT to make sure athletes are working out at the right level of intensity based on their annual training schedule
Professional advice on using VBT on a daily basis with athletes of different training ages and skill levels
You can define thresholds that reduce the risk of undertraining or overtraining by using sample programming that incorporates exercises, intensities, and tempos for each of the four training seasons (postseason, off-season, preseason, and in-season).

When designing and implementing training programs, use hard facts to eliminate guesswork. You can safely and effectively develop athletes who are stronger and more capable with the use of velocity-based training. Get units or credits for continuing education! There is also a continuing education exam based on this book. It can be bought alone or combined with the book and test in a package.
