Address the principles of training and its importance when enhancing programmes designed to develop hypertrophy, strength and power through the use of safe and effective weightlifting techniques. Strategies to enhance agility through coaching the basics of acceleration, deceleration and change of direction mechanics. An introduction ito the development of cardiovascular endurance and testing of human performance as a monitoring tool. Basic programme design strategies and concepts and their development over an athlete's competitive season.
