Program Description
The Athletic Performance Coaching Training is a comprehensive certification program designed to improve athletes’ key biomotor abilities such as strength, speed, endurance, agility, and balance through scientific training methods. Throughout the program, participants will gain systematic knowledge starting from the fundamentals of exercise physiology and biomechanics to performance development, testing and analysis methods, training planning, and periodization processes.
The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical field applications, enabling participants to directly apply what they learn in real-world training environments. With its structure integrating academic knowledge and field practice, the program aims to provide participants with directly applicable coaching and athletic performance training skills.
