    Tudor O. Bompa, PhD, revolutionized Western training methods when he introduced his groundbreaking theory of periodization in Romania in 1963. After adopting his training system, the Eastern Bloc countries dominated international sports through the 1970s and 1980s. In 1988, Dr. Bompa applied his principle of periodization to the sport of bodybuilding. He has personally trained 11 Olympic medalists (including four gold medalists) and has served as a consultant to coaches and athletes worldwide.

    Dr. Bompa’s books on training methods, including Theory and Methodology of Training: The Key to Athletic Performance and Periodization of Training for Sports, have been translated into 17 languages and used in more than 130 countries for training athletes and educating and certifying coaches. Bompa has been invited to speak about training in more than 30 countries and has been awarded certificates of honor and appreciation from such prestigious organizations as the Argentinean Ministry of Culture, the Australian Sports Council, the Spanish Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee, and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

    A member of the Canadian Olympic Association and the Romanian National Council of Sports, Dr. Bompa is professor emeritus at York University, where he has taught training theories since 1987. He and his wife, Tamara, live in Sharon, Ontario.

5.0 out of 5 stars Endless cycle of improvement
Reviewed in the United States on 10 September 2014

If you are an athlete or a trainer and you want to create programs that will make you better each time you repeat them, this is the book for you.

The book doesn't teach the latest fad. It teaches you how to improve each cycle (usually a year) over and over and over. It does not cut any corners and describes how each year should be broken down into parts and focus on different aspects of muscle size, strength, and endurance.

Highly recommended.

He is no bodybuilding expert, but why would he be with the wealth of high sports performance knowledge he has, the hypertrophy phase is merely used as a means to get to better places and phases in training. As for high performance elite training, and making sure you follow the right training methods in the right order, and how to go about doing it, this is the best book for clear and concise sound, tested and proven Sport Science. This book is even good for a Personal Trainer to use on clients and take them through a periodization cycle, and to get them from weak to elite in a professional manner. How many personal trainers do you see who will think about anatomical adaptations, to a conversion phase ? More times you will see PT's doing things with their clients they are not ready for, and even using plyometric and elastic band training on a new client just to look interesting. This book makes you stop and think and to do things in the right way. This book is an integrals part of the studies to all personal trainers and coaches alike, it is a must buy and a must read.

Periodization Training For Sports is an excellent guide to developing a strength training program for any sport. Strength training, as defined by the authors, is any exercise designed to overcome resistance. The purpose of periodization is to "bring the athlete to the highest possible level of maximum strength so that gains in strength will become gains in muscular power and endurance." As the authors write, "because strength is a crucial athletic ability, it must always be trained with other abilities." Section I, the Foundations of Strength Training, provides an excellent overview on how muscles function and how they respond to strength training. In Section II, Program Design, the authors get into the specifics of determining the amount of resistance, reps and sets. I found much practical information for creating workouts here. Part III, the authors describe the 6 phases of their periodization model and the physiological basis for each phase. This section is also rich in practical information when it discusses recent training fads and techniques. There are only 2 weaknesses in this otherwise excellent book. One, the title is misleading. A better, more accurate title would be Periodization of Strength Training for Sports. When the authors diverge away from strength training to apply their periodization model to 20 different sports, it becomes too general to be of much value. For example, periodization training for distance running is better covered by such authors as Jack Daniels, Dave Martin and Peter Coe and Brad Hudson. Also, the index is annoyingly incomplete. Despite these deficiencies, I recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their understanding of strength training and how it can be applied to their specific sport.
