Description
Collective sports in general, and basketball in particular, have based their physical training on the training theory used for individual sports, particularly athletics, so they require a new approach which adapts to their own characteristics and needs. Furthermore, technological advances have provided new tools for physical trainers, sports scientists and coaches, allowing, among other things, the control and assessment of the workload produced by training sessions and/or competitions.
Hence, it is necessary to know this new approach, based on holistic physical training, to apply it to modern basketball with the main objective of optimizing performance and preventing injuries.

Learn to
Implement the tools, methods, and strategies in relation to tactical analysis in football, providing specific skills to satisfy the demand for specific roles by professional clubs.
Identify the parameters and tactical elements of the start phase of the game, in order to select, organize, and transmit the most important information effectively through the use of technological tools.
Understand the importance of ABP in current football and, above all, obtain resources and criteria to develop the analysis of this type of actions.
Apply the most relevant theoretical and practical content for the analysis of the high blood pressure phase in football, which will allow you to identify and recognize the different high blood pressure situations, as well as propose tasks for its training.
Learn about a new observation methodology focused on Formative Football based on your own team, from training sessions to matches.
