Course Project – Annual Training Plan

You will develop a program based on proper pre testing (including components of fitness – Cardiorespritory, Body Composition, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, and sport specific skills) of the athlete, his or her sport, experience, age, gender, height, and weight.

You will include off-season, pre-season and in-season Strength and Conditioning programs and sport training Schedules for the athlete using the principles of periodization, found specifically in your Textbook, Bompa, T.O & Haff, G.G. (2009).Periodization (5th ed). Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics.  All required charts and graphs are found in the Text Book.  READ YOUR TEXT BOOK.

You will provide an annual periodization plan chart along with a chart for each “season” within the schedule.

You will explain (by providing rationale pertaining to testing results and sport specific requirements) why each Strength and Conditioning exercise is selected, within each season, for this athlete and how it is helping the athlete reach his or her goals.

Your program should be written so that anyone could pick up your schedule and train your athlete on any given day. In addition to your Text Book you will use at least 5 outside sources to help you develop this program and the paper will be submitted in APA format, specifically the reference page and in text citations. Word and Excel are great tools for submission of this project.  Be creative and have fun with this project.

Your paper should contain:

1. Title page
2. APA references/citations
3. Headers
4. Pg. #s
5. A scholarly tone
6. 7-10 pages (not including title page)
7. Annual, Season, Weekly, and Daily Charts/Graphs
8. Example of programs (sets, reps, exercises…) and how these programs can be advanced or recessed depending on Athlete needs.
9. Initial Testing Protocol and follow up testing protocol and dates.
