Training planning

"Training planning is a process of foresighted, systematic structuring of the (long-term) training process - based on practical training experience and sports science findings - aimed at achieving a training goal and taking into account the individual's performance status."

This means that the training plan contains concrete instructions for the design of the respective training session and describes the individual load objectives as well as the methodology, content and means required for their realization.
In training practice, it has proven useful to divide the training session into a preparatory part (warm up), a main part and a concluding part (cool down).

A training plan includes the following steps:

1. Sports analysis
2. AMNAMENTS: current level of performance and training
3. Goal and standard setting: short, medium and long term
4. TRAINING (execution)
5. Feedback
6. Analysis, evaluation and correction
7. Adaptation

In the first step, with the help of performance-diagnostic procedures, the current performance status is ascertained directly - via the complex athletic performance - or indirectly - via individual components. Then the short-, medium- or long-term goals are set. The planned training is followed by a control via corresponding observations, measurements or tests. The evaluated tests serve as an immediate correction of the training process/plan. If you measure these numbers regularly, you can track exactly which intensity and exercises you are making the most progress with. If you are not satisfied, you can also assess which aspects of the training plan need to be adjusted individually. In this way, the evaluated tests serve as an immediate correction of the training process/plan. 

Tips
There are some points to keep in mind during the training plan:

• The more untrained one is, the more general and extensive the training should be. The general training forms the basis for the loads of a later special training. A medical check is definitely advisable. Likewise, a detailed medical history should always be taken beforehand.
• Even low loads, e.g. with your own body weight, are sufficient to achieve a pronounced increase in strength.
• At the beginning, "gentle" training methods that involve a low risk of injury are sufficient.
• Sufficient adaptation time and regeneration time must be ensured.
• No strength training without parallel stretching training.

What is there to consider when creating your training plan? 

There is no such thing as the perfect training plan. A training plan is always very individual. 
If you are serious about training and want to reach your full potential, you have to deal with the topic of training plan creation as well as exercise theory and training science. Personal trainers are happy to help you with this and support you in achieving your goals. 

In summary: A training plan must have a clearly defined training goal and describe the path to this goal. Among other things, your current training level, your previous training experience or your capacities regarding the training equipment, your training intensity and your training volume, i.e. the time you have available for your training, play a role.
