Improve Repeat Power Ability - Improve Maximal Power Improve Repeated High Intensity Actions - Dominate the Opposition
Assessment, Training and Return to Play Strategies for Sustained Maximal Power Output.
The biggest moments in sport are rarely determined by one isolated sprint, jump, collision or change of direction.
Most training systems focus heavily on improving peak outputs. Far fewer focus on improving the ability to sustain those outputs repeatedly.
Repeat Power Ability fills that gap.
Repeat Power Ability is the capacity to repeatedly produce maximal or near-maximal power outputs against an external resistance.
This course provides a practical and evidence-informed framework to understand, assess and develop that physical quality, and what's more... it's the ONLY course in the world on this subject!
Built upon more than two decades of research investigating Repeat Power Ability grounded in peer-reviewed science and extensive applied experience across elite sporting environments.
Years of research into Repeat Power Ability
Peer-reviewed scientific publications
Doctoral research programme dedicated to RPA
The concepts, assessments and training methods presented throughout the course are grounded in peer-reviewed research and extensive applied experience across elite sporting environments. <br> Participants will learn the assessment protocol developed and validated through Dr Alex Natera’s doctoral research programme.
Dr Alex Natera has spent more than 25 years working across elite sporting environments, 2 decades of that time researching and applying Repeat Power Ability concepts.
His work includes postgraduate research, a completed PhD and four peer-reviewed publications examining Repeat Power Ability assessment, High Volume Power Training, repeated high-intensity performance and force-time characteristics.
Participants will learn the assessment protocol developed and validated through Dr Alex Natera’s doctoral research programme both the scientific foundations and the practical application of Repeat Power Ability assessment and High Volume Power Training.
Whether working in youth, sub-elite, professional or Olympic sport, this course provides a practical framework to assess and develop repeated power performance.
A complete, evidence informed framework from the history of power-endurance training through to full return to performance application.
This module examines the historical development of training methods designed to improve repeated effort performance.
How historical conditioning methods evolved, and why many traditional power-endurance approaches fail to specifically target the repeated expression of maximal power.
This module establishes Repeat Power Ability as a distinct physical quality and provides a detailed framework for assessment and interpretation.
How to implement the Loaded Countermovement Jump Repeat Power Ability Assessment, interpret power-decline measures, and understand what drives repeated power performance.
This module introduces High Volume Power Training as a targeted method for improving Repeat Power Ability.
How to manipulate exercise selection, load, repetition volume, set structure, recovery and feedback to develop repeated high-quality power output.
This module focuses on the practical progression and application of High Volume Power Training.
How to progress High Volume Power Training, use assessment data to individualise prescription, and apply the framework across athlete development and return-to-performance settings.
