Video: Intermediate Strength and Conditioning: Module 4 Intro (1 min)

Introduction

In this module, we will delve into cutting-edge techniques and methodologies that are used at the UFC Performance Institute. Our focus will be on four advanced training methods: Accommodated Resistance Training, Velocity-Based Training, Tempo Training, and Olympic Lifts. As strength and conditioning professionals, you understand the critical role of these advanced concepts in maximizing athletic performance, injury prevention, and overall physical development. Throughout this module, we will equip you with the knowledge, practical skills, and strategic insights needed to implement these advanced techniques effectively, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in the realm of strength and conditioning.

Learning Objectives

Module 4: Applied Strength and Conditioning Practice

1. Understand the principles and benefits of accommodating resistance training using bands and chains to enhance athletic performance.
2. Explain the role of velocity-based training (VBT) in optimizing training outcomes through real-time velocity feedback.
3. Identify the physiological adaptations and performance benefits associated with concentric-only resistance training.
4. Describe the unique adaptations and performance enhancements resulting from eccentric-only resistance training.
5. Outline the stages and derivatives of the snatch in Olympic lifting, focusing on their applications for power development and athletic performance.
