postgraduate certificate Quantification of Loads in Professional Cyclist Training

Load quantification is a fundamental issue in professional cycling training. In this line, the measurement and monitoring of the load to which the athlete is subjected allows both the athlete and the trainer to control the intensity, duration and frequency of the session. For this reason, the cyclist must consolidate their update in this relevant aspect of their professional practice in order to improve his performance, and this program is a great opportunity. Students will learn about the different load quantification models commonly used, as well as analyze the latest models that have emerged. All this and more in a 100% online format.

Description

Thanks to this program you will tailor your loads to maximize performance and minimize the risk of injury”

Today, there are numerous ways to quantify loads in cycling training, from the use of power meters to monitoring the professional's heart rate while training. In addition, other indicators such as speed, maximum heart rate, sweat rate, perceived load or accumulated fatigue can be used to obtain a complete picture of the load during the session.

Given that it is a determining factor in boosting the performance of the sports professional, TECH has designed a program that specifically addresses this subject, incorporating all recent advances. This will allow the student to quantify their loads with greater precision and based on advanced strategies that will benefit their sporting activity.

In this way, students will take a broad tour of the different existing quantification models, while examining emerging options that go far beyond the traditional ones. In addition, teachers will encourage sports professionals to perfect their skills in the use of training platforms such as TrainingPeaks or Today's Plan, deepening their metrics.

Undoubtedly, a specialization with the potential to boost the student's sports career, who will be advised by a fantastic teaching team of true eminences in this area. With only a device with an Internet connection, you will have access to innovative resources in the Online Campus that you will be able to consult without any type of restriction.

Postgraduate Certificate in Quantification of Loads in Professional Cyclist Training

Professional cycling training is a specialized field that requires solid knowledge in several areas. One of the fundamental aspects is the quantification of training loads. For this, it is essential to have a solid preparation in this field. Under this premise, TECH Technological University presents its Postgraduate Certificate in Load Quantification in Professional Cycling Training, a detailed look at the multiplicity of schemes that take place in this field. Here, we propose an entirely virtual tour through various modules ranging from training physiology, measurement and analysis of training loads, to training programming and injury prevention. You will also study the different methods for measuring training intensity and volume, including the use of potentiometers, heart rate monitors and other devices for measuring physical activity.

Specialize in the quantification of loads in professional cycling training

At TECH we have the largest Faculty of Sports Science, from which we provide you with the necessary tools to become an expert. By enrolling in this Postgraduate Certificate, you will analyze numerous case studies, which will allow you to obtain an immersive learning that will be very useful for your daily work. Throughout various thematic modules, you will delve into different training approaches, including resistance, high-intensity and interval training. You will also explore the interpretation and analysis of training data, which will allow you to design personalized programs and adjust loads according to each cyclist's individual goals. From this, you will be able to design efficient and balanced training programs that take into account factors such as training periodization, recovery and injury prevention.
