PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE OF DYNAMIC PERIODIZAITON AND PROGRAMMING FOR SUCCESSFUL MMA ATHLETES
Abstract
Strength and conditioning programs aim to optimize athletic performance and mitigate injury risks by developing physical and physiological characteristics through organized approaches. Mixed Martial Arts is an exciting sport that attracts competitors from diverse training backgrounds, experience levels, and regions of the world. However, limited information is available which discusses periodization and programming approaches that are dynamic enough to contribute to the successful development and performance of MMA athletes. Therefore, this presentation aims to bridge the gap between science, practice, and experience by providing insights into a strength and conditioning program that successfully developed three MMA champions over the course of one year.
