Session Descriptions
G.A.S. and Periodization in the 21st Century: Planning and Monitoring of Recovery-Adaptation
Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) provides a mechanistic framework for the process of recovery-adaptation, which serves as the basis for the periodization of sports training. Coaches have long used the GAS and periodization concepts to guide the planning of the training process. Advancements in scientific understanding and technological innovations make it possible—and necessary—to monitor training to aid in the selection and adjustment of programming tactics that will realize the objectives of the training plan. In this presentation, Aaron will showcase the evolution of the GAS and periodization concepts. He will also highlight some fundamental aspects of planning and monitoring that coaches should consider as they relate to the process of recovery-adaptation.
Accentuated Eccentric Loading for Strength-Power Athletes: Theory and Efficacy
Accentuated eccentric loading (AEL) prescribes eccentric load magnitude in excess of the concentric prescription using movements that require coupled eccentric and concentric actions, with minimal interruptions to the natural mechanics of a given movement (Wagle et al., 2017). Evidence suggests that the higher eccentric loading may elicit an acute potentiating effect, as well as favorable adaptations for strength-power athletes through longer-term exposure. John will discuss the current evidence and theoretical underpinnings of the potentially unique responses to AEL. Further, John will explore the potential directions of future research as well as best-practice applications to the training process for strength-power athletes.
Hypertrophy Adaptation to Resistance Training: Influence on Strength and Related Characteristics
An in depth examination of force transduction, metabolic and neural aspects of resistance training that impact muscle and connective tissue cross-sectional area (CSA) and architectural alterations; And a discussion of how these alterations potentially effect strength- power performance. This discussion includes the transmission of force from sarcomere to lever system. Variables effecting transmission include CSA, architecture and particularly the nervous system. Transmission of force entails may aspects including rate of force development which is often more important than the absolute magnitude of force production. Training methods of enhancing RFD are also examined.
Resistance Training and Muscle Physiology: How Programming Strategies Can Influence Outcomes
This talk will describe how the manner in which resistance training is programmed may affect muscle tissue and performance. While obvious factors such as volume or intensity provide a great deal of information regarding expected adaptation, the method in which these are implemented is a subject of great interest to practitioners. Specific attention will be given to resistance training strategies employing training to failure or not training to failure.
Measuring and Monitoring Lifting Speed in Resistance Training and its Application to the Velocity Based Training
Prescriptions of intensity in resistance training for athletes have long been based on a percentage of personal maximum lifting weight (1RM). However, testing 1RM is often accompanied by risk of injury and can be time consuming when testing many athletes at once with limited equipment. As such, frequent 1RM testing is difficult throughout the season, and as a result the values are often too outdated. This time lag is problematic when calculating percentage for prescription of training intensity using the 1RM value, because 1RM may increase or decrease over time, and is easily impacted by physical and mental conditions of that day. One study showed that the daily fluctuation of the estimated squat 1RM value was as much as 30%. Fortunately, some scientific studies and practices using the latest technologies have revealed that there are correlations between the percentage of 1RM and the mean concentric velocity of the lift regardless of the value of 1RM even when it increases with training or decreases with fatigue. In this lecture, the physical and psychological significance of using lifting velocity to enhance training effect will be provided; as well as methods of using lifting velocity for resistance training purposes.
The Power of a Sport-Driven Life
Dr. Denise Wood reflects on lessons learned about competing and coaching 50 years after her first national competition in 1968 as a high school senior. As a self-coached thrower, she sifted through training myths and fads to become a national champion and perennial member of the U.S. Track and Field Team from 1972-1984. She shares the life-long positive impact of evidence-based training from U.S. and foreign Olympic weightlifters at Belleville Barbell Club (NJ), and the valuable lessons from working with D1 athletes and coaches while also applying her research in motor behavior during graduate school at the University of Tennessee at the peak of her athletic career.
Designing a Nutrition Plan to Maximize the Benefits of Strength Training
When properly designed resistance training (RT) programs are performed by men, women, young and old, all experience significant increases in muscle hypertrophy and strength. However, the rate of adaptation can vary depending on training status, gender, age, and nutrition. The acute effect of resistance exercise (RE) has been shown to increase both protein synthesis and degradation. In the absence of adequate nutrition, protein degradation can exceed synthesis and affect early stages of recovery, and possibly chronic adaptations. To maximize the anabolic effect of RE by diet, there are three factors to consider: (1): Protein quality and quantity; (2): Nutrient Timing; and (3): Other Dietary Concerns. Thus, nutrition has the potential to maximize the outcomes of RE if the factors outlined here are taken into consideration.
Directing Athletics
An in-depth look at the evolution of current model of governance within college athletics with specific attention being given to the organizational structure, role and qualifications of the athletic director, and balance of power between sport coaches, strength coaches, and sports medicine staffs. Particular attention will be given to the emergence of a high-performance model of governance driven by sports sciences focused on the long-term development, maturation, and performance of the “student-athletes”. In doing so, the necessity for administrators equipped with the diverse and complex skillset necessary to unite the priorities for revenue generation and sustained athletic development in intercollegiate athletics, which currently seem, at time, to be mutually exclusive.
Real Use of Sport Technology: Building a Bigger Engine or Just Cosmetics?
The purpose of the presentation is to introduce the utilization of technology to monitor athlete’s daily/weekly/monthly progress. In recent years, technology has been used for collecting data but due to a lack of updated education, consumers find it difficult to interpret the data. It may be easy to collect data but if there is no interpretation of the data, it would not help coaches and athletes. In this presentation, the focus is to provide critical thinking and data analytics to help coaches and athletes to make the best decision possible in the given data.
Training the Weak: Strength Training for the Endurance Sport Athlete
This presentation will review key concepts dealing with strength training for the endurance sport athlete. The characteristics, physiology, and primary limiting factors of endurance athlete performance will be covered. The overall effects and specific physiological adaptations of strength training on these athletes and their subsequent performances will be reviewed. Practical recommendations for designing a periodized strength plan will conclude the presentation.
The performance lab: The role of applied sports science in performance and athlete development
Using examples (and mistakes!) from a 20-year career in elite sports, this session explores the potential that science has for informing the training and performance process in elite sport. The role of the scientist in aiding the coaches’ decision-making process will be explored in detail, looking at aspects relating to testing, monitoring and how to work with coaches to enhance performance. This includes looking at aspects of the preparation, training and recovery process on a sports specific basis.
