Velocity Based Training: Strength, Velocity, and Sport Conditioning for Athletes

The book aims to present Strength Training based on the velocity of execution of an exercise (Velocity Based Training - VBT), whose essence is the use of speed as a training load monitoring parameter (internal and external). From a conceptual perspective, the work explores Strength and its different manifestations, as well as its relationships with other capabilities, such as velocity in sport and its pedagogical aspects, and analytical thinking in strength training. The book provides a coherent systematization of the processes and stages of Diagnostic, Planning, Monitoring, Controlling, and the Action: strength training in practice, with a brief practical example of these steps.

The author's intention is to synthesize the contents of the VBT to make them more practical and effective, with the purpose of assisting sports professionals in their practical field. Based on more than 180 references, the book reflects on several issues related to strength training, from concepts and definitions of means and methods, through reflections on ways of interpreting data collected based on a science that has been standing out today - the Data Science. Finally, the book aims to present a new, modern, and more effective way of managing and monitoring strength training in any area of activity, whether in the practice of educational, recreational, or high-performance sports.

The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of Strength Training, starting from the conceptual foundations and moving towards the practical application of Velocity Based Training. The author's goal is to equip sports professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively plan, monitor, and control strength training programs, ultimately enhancing the performance and well-being of athletes across various sports disciplines.
