Training Split Decisions and Program Examples

This chapter delves into the significance of choosing a training split in a workout regimen, exploring aspects such as training frequency, volume allocation for different muscle groups, and different training splits like full body, push-pull-legs, and upper-lower splits. It provides examples of tailored programs for hybrid athletes focusing on endurance, plyometrics, and strength, and for improving vertical jump height through a 12-week linear periodization approach. Additionally, individualized program design considerations for a professional basketball player recovering from an ACL repair are highlighted, emphasizing the need for a balanced mix of strength, power, conditioning, and plyometric training to address specific athlete requirements.
