This diploma course focuses on optimising training load management to enhance sports performance and prevent injuries.
Participants will explore key tools and variables for monitoring training loads, analyse data to improve training efficiency, and learn how to select relevant indicators for managing athlete workload.
The program also covers strength training methodologies for post-injury rehabilitation and the role of periodised nutrition in supporting athletic performance.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design and manage effective workload monitoring systems, enhance performance through tailored strength programs, and utilise nutrition strategies to support training adaptations.

9: What Are We Training For?
Learn to:
• Manage the different tools and variables for monitoring training.
• Select the appropriate variables depending on the different objectives for training and competition load control.
• Use data generated by load control to evaluate and manage the process.
• Detect and appropriately utilise the most relevant training load indicators.
• Analyse workload monitoring data to orientate the training process towards preventing injuries and consequently successfully optimise sports performance.
• Improve sports performance and injury prevention through a deepened understanding of the methodology to use in strength training and muscle power programs.
• Apply the appropriate methodology to the design of the post-injury rehabilitation process in situations where strength development plays a significant role.
• Understand the theoretical basis for nutrition periodisation.
