Frederick is now a member of the Tudor Bompa Institute (TBI)Team, founded by Dr. Tudor Bompa, considered by many as the father of modern
Sport Periodization. TBI mission is to develop training awareness through a
rationale of scientifically proven training periodization system to enhance
multi-sports performances.
Frederick is a TBI certified Periodization-Planning
Specialist (P-PS), a Junior Athlete Training Specialist (JATS), and the TBI Director of Training and Development for
Japan and French speaking countries.

Dr. Tudor Bompa Introduction
Pr. Bompa & Frederick
Toronto 2007
Tudor O. Bompa, PhD, Professor Emeritus, York University, Toronto, Ontario,
and founder of the Tudor Bompa Institute - TBI - is regarded
worldwide as the leading specialist in the areas of training, coaching and
fitness theory, to which he has contributed several new concepts.
Dr. Bompa’s theories, especially the theories of
planning-periodization; periodization of strength, power, speed and
endurance; periodization of fitness, bodybuilding, psychological
periodization; and periodization of nutrition, have revolutionized training
in most countries of the world.
Dr. Bompa has published 14 books (all best sellers)
which have been translated into 18 languages. Most of these books are used
as textbooks in universities, coaching institutions, certification programs
and continuing education courses in more than 150 countries. He has also
published over a hundred research papers while at the same time making
presentations in over 35 countries on topics such as training theory,
planning-periodization, training methods, strength and power training,
specifics of training for team sports and more.
As a coach, Dr. Bompa trained 11 medalists in various
Olympics (2 gold medals) and World championships in 2 sport disciplines:
track and field and rowing. He was himself an Olympic rower, and he later
revolutionized the training concepts in cross country skiing.
Sport Periodization Concept
Periodization of sport training is not a new concept, and has been applied
since ancient times. The use of sport science's results is more of the new
concept of the theory, which started to take place in Eastern block
countries in the early 60's.
Periodization is simply put, a way to cut general
training into phases having their own development and purpose. Each of these
phases is interacting with the other ones like the links of a chain, making
the final result an optimally prepared athlete or group of athletes,
physically, technically, tactically and psychologically ready for the
toughness of competition. The development of periodization for training in
any sport is a pathway to success, and moreover to the great satisfaction of
being as prepared as possible for the physical and mental challenges ahead.
The athlete development through a periodized training system will address
the general and specific energy systems and bio-motor abilities for the
sport, and enhance in a step by step process from Preparatory to Competition
and regeneration/Transition phases, the fundamental elements of the sport
such as: Endurance, Speed, Strength, Power, Technical and Tactical,
Psychological and Nutritional aspects.
Learning the fundamentals of TBI Training System can be
achieved through a set of different courses, where athletes/players and
coaches alike are able to practically apply the learnt concepts of
periodization training to a sport of their choice.
We
place a great emphasis today, on the development of strength training for
any sports activity, and the long term periodization of general core
strength training, combined with programs specifically designed for every
sports. Field evidences have shown that in most instances, strength or
thereof the lack of strength, is a limiting factor for skill and
technical/tactical further development.
It is therefore of the upmost importance, we believe,
that a specifically targeted strength program, with a conversion of the gain
in strength to power, power-endurance or muscular-endurance, been developed
for ultimate enhancement of athletic performance, no matter the sport
chosen. Please contact Frederick for further information.
Rugby Application of Training Periodization
Rugby
is a complex sport, like all team sports, as many elements are involved in
the training process. The ergogenesis (or production of work) in rugby is:
60% Aerobic, 30% Lactic and 10% Alactic. Limiting factors of the activity
are: power, power-endurance, acceleration/deceleration under the extreme
conditions of lactic and aerobic endurance.
Therefore we can determine the training objectives for
rugby as being:
-Development of all energy systems with emphasis to the
aerobic endurance to last games and enhance recovery between bouts
-Development of starting power and power-endurance
-Development of agility with emphasis on fast feet
-Development of acceleration/deceleration and quick
changes in direction
With this in mind, and knowing the specific competition
schedule of the team, we can develop an annual training plan including all
physical factors involved in training, together with the technical,
tactical, psychological and nutritional aspects of the game.
Note: Speed, Power and Agility (quick footwork
and changes of direction) are the result of the force the player will apply
to the ground. We can therefore say that these are only the features and end
results of the maximum strength without which the player will not be able to
apply more force on the ground. In one word: we can not develop powerful,
quick, fast, and agile players without developing their strength first!...
Periodization of training is giving an important
part of the strength and power development in the preparatory phase of the training.

program for yourself as a player or for your team, please contact Frederick
