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. This book on periodization is the first of its kind to combine the concepts of training methodology, sports psychology, and nutrition in the discussion on periodization training. 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. Then 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. In addition, psychological preparation, the newly developed LMA (Learning-Modification-Application) approach, and nutritional principles are presented based on the periodization principle. Finally, the book includes a chapter on tapering strategies to peak athletes for competition using an integrated approach. Integrated Periodization in Sports Training & Athletic Development is a must-have for all trainers and athletes looking to better understand periodization and how to adapt it to training.

Tudor Bompa, PhD, has revolutionized many aspects of periodization training starting with periodization of strength and power in 1963. He has published 16 books on training, political science, and social anthropology. Most of his books have been translated into 19 languages and used in over 180 countries. Prof. Bompa has presented his training theories and plans in over 40 countries. He has received 23 international awards in 21 countries, including the highest academic award, Doctor Honoris Causa, Polytechnic University of Timisoara, Romania.
