Abstract

Achieving the highest levels of performance in competition is only possible through an ordered well thought-out training process designed to stimulate structural and metabolic adaptations in the systems of the body, these adaptations enable the athlete to reach a higher performance level (Smith in Sports Medicine 33:1103–1126, 2003; Stone et al. in Principles and practice of resistance training, Human Kinetics, Champaign 2007).
