Dates:
November 10-15, 2014
Aim:
The aim of the course is to give participants up to date
knowledge on physiological aspects of relevance for performance in
elite sports, i.e. specific insight to training
strategies/practices in various sports and nutritional
interventions (supplementations) of importance for performance
optimization and adaptations in different environmental settings.
Emphasis is on endurance- and team-sports.
The program will cover:
- Performance of the top-athlete
- Training of the top-athlete – from the top-class rower to the soccer player and ultra-endurance athlete
- Environmental factors and ergogenic aids in the top-athlete – optimizing athletic performance, performance in the heat and effects of altitude training on performance
- Planning of training of the top-athlete – sessions with top coaches from Olympic level athletes collaborating with Team Denmark.
