The second half of this unit Im zweiten Teil der Trainingslehre wird das Training als komplexer Handlungsprozess und im Zusammenhang mit Planung, Ausführung und Evaluation definiert und bewertet.
Ein wichtiger Teil der Trainingslehre ist nach wie vor die Trainingsplangestaltung, die mit Beispielen über die Möglichkeiten einer Trainingsplangestaltung praktisch vermittelt werden.
Um das Thema der Trainingswissenschaft zu vertiefen, laden wir regelmäßig internationale Top-Dozenten wie Univ. Prof. Dr. Paul Haber und Prof.em. Dr.phil. Dr.med. Dr. hc Jürgen Weineck zu uns in die Academy ein.
Unter anderem sind sie für die Bücher "Optimales Training" (Jürgen Weineck) und "Leistungsphysiologie" (Paul Haber) in der Trainingswissenschaft bekannt.
The breaststroke is one of the most well-known swimming techniques and is preferred by many swimmers due to its versatility and effectiveness. The breaststroke uses the so-called undulation technique, which is an undulating water position that constantly changes depending on the propulsion phase. This technique requires a high level of agility. Compared to other swimming techniques such as the crawl or backstroke, breaststroke is characterized by a number of special features.
One special feature of breaststroke is the movement of the arms and legs. In contrast to the crawl, in which the arms and legs work in one continuous movement, in breaststroke the arms and legs move one after the other and require precise coordination. The arm movement is divided into an outward, pull and return phase. The leg movement is divided into a pull and stroke phase. Important nodal points in breaststroke are the head position, stable wrists, gliding phases and body tension. Special attention must also be paid to breathing.
In order to learn the breaststroke optimally in practice, it is important to first understand the basic techniques of the swimming technique. This includes the correct posture, the movement of the arms and legs and the breathing technique. Swimmers should focus on improving their technique rather than concentrating on speed. By improving their technique, they can improve their efficiency in the water and increase their speed.
The breaststroke requires a high level of coordination and concentration in order to learn it optimally in practice. By training regularly and focusing on technique, swimmers can improve their performance in the water and achieve their swimming goals. In the course of the lessons, all the points mentioned are addressed and practiced. The methodical structure is also discussed and various corrective measures are demonstrated.
As a centrally symmetrical movement, the crawl is easier to learn than other types of swimming. Due to the low water resistance, it is the fastest way to move in the water with comparatively little effort. It also has a "healthier" leg movement, as the alternating arm pull and continuous leg stroke generate uninterrupted propulsion and the knee is used as a hinge joint.
The crucial point is the arm pull. It is important to note that the arm pull exerts pressure backwards, not downwards. There are different technique variations for the crawl, such as the front-square swim (crawl with glide phase), the paddle principle and the swing principle. In contrast to the other two swimming techniques, breaststroke and dolphin, the water position in the crawl is stretched, with a lower angle of attack of the body to the waterline. Correct breathing is a frequent obstacle. Many find it difficult to find the right rhythm or start exhaling too late. A good swimming coach recognizes mistakes in their clients technique and knows how to teach them the correct technique using aids and partial exercises. There is no single recipe that works for every client, as the sources of errors and individual comprehension vary greatly.
In the course of the lesson, the basics of crawling, water position, rotation and breathing are developed. Subsequently, the correct leg stroke is discussed in more detail and the correct execution of the arm stroke on land and in the water is practiced. In addition to learning the correct technique, emphasis is also placed on being able to teach it to others.
With methodical series of exercises, we look at how to correct typical mistakes in crawl swimming/breaststroke/backstroke/dolphin swimming with and without aids. We then work on rhythm and exercises to improve speed and tempo. Of course, starts and turns are also part of the in-depth training!
The back crawl is very similar to the movement sequence of the classic crawl swim. The biggest difference lies in the supine position. This means that your mouth and nose are always out of the water, which eliminates coordination difficulties when breathing. As the technique is relatively easy to learn, this variant is particularly suitable for fitness athletes. The positive health effect of this variant is also a major advantage. People who sit a lot in everyday life in particular can benefit from training the muscles used in the back crawl. The gentle training of the back, gluteal, abdominal, shoulder and arm muscles can help with back pain or at least prevent it.
Of course, there are also some basic technical principles to follow when swimming backstroke. These include, above all, the body and head position as well as the correct arm stroke and leg stroke. A good swimming coach knows these and can support their customers with the right coaching points and various aids to help them recognize and relearn incorrectly learned techniques or practice the correct technique right from the start. During the lessons, the correct water position and head position are discussed first, followed by learning the correct arm stroke on land and in the water, and finally the correct technique is worked out step by step using methodical series in the water. Typical mistakes are discussed and corrective measures are shown.
Swimming training is an effective and popular method for improving physical fitness and optimizing swimming technique. Effective lesson design and a correct methodical structure are of great importance for successful swimming training.
The lesson structure can vary depending on the objective and performance level. In general, swimming training begins with a warm-up program consisting of light swimming exercises or techniques. This is followed by the main part, which is aimed at improving swimming technique, strength and endurance. The main part can be designed using swimming sets with different intensities, distances and breaks. The training session ends with a cool-down phase consisting of relaxed swimming or stretching exercises.
The swimming training methodology can vary depending on the focus of the training session. One important aspect is the improvement of swimming technique, which can be achieved through specific exercises. For example, swimming boards, pull buoys or fins can be used to improve technique and strength in certain areas of the body.
Another important methodology in swimming training is to increase endurance and speed through interval training and swimming sets with different intensities. The training can be focused on a specific distance or time in order to achieve an improvement in performance.
Overall, effective lesson planning and methodology in swimming training is important in order to achieve progress and avoid injuries. Targeted planning and orientation of training can improve physical fitness and swimming technique.
Training theory in swimming is a special theoretical discipline that aims to optimally prepare swimmers for competitions and improve their performance. Based on the training theory from Sportkompetent, various swimming-specific aspects are taken into account, such as training intensity, training duration, technique and regeneration. In the course of the lessons, our course participants learn the theoretical background of conditional abilities in swimming, energy supply, load parameters and training control as well as relevant training methods in swimming.
An important aspect of training theory in swimming is training intensity. The intensity is determined by the swimming speed, which is usually measured in meters per minute. The higher the intensity, the greater the demands on the body and the greater the strain on the organism. One way to increase the intensity is through targeted interval training, in which short sections are swum at high intensity with short breaks in between. Another important aspect is the duration of training. The duration of training depends on the individual performance level of the swimmer and can range from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the objective. It is important that the training duration is not too short or too long in order to achieve an optimum training effect.
In addition to stressing the body, regeneration is also an important part of swimming training theory. Targeted regeneration measures such as stretching, massage or rest phases between training sessions prepare the body for the next training session. With the knowledge they have gained, our course participants are able to create scientifically sound training plans and units and adapt their training to suit every performance level.
The basic module Sports Competence is approved by the German Central Agency for Distance Learning (ZFU) under the following number: 7324018c. The ZFU is the central authority for distance learning in Germany and works on the basis of the Distance Learning Protection Act (FernUSG). It decides on the approval of distance learning courses nationwide in order to guarantee a technically correct and generally professional distance learning course.

The job of a triathlon coach is to comprehensively prepare triathletes for triathlon or similar competitions. The coach adapts the training flexibly to the athlete in order to optimally increase performance. Starting with an analysis of technique, such as swimming style or cycling technique, through to performance diagnostics, the coach first gets an idea of where the focus of the training needs to be placed.
Based on this, the trainer creates a training plan that combines specific strength training with technique and endurance training. As a trainer, you are also responsible for motivating and mentally training the customer in order to prepare them mentally for the competition.

It decides on the approval of distance learning courses nationwide in order to guarantee a technically correct and generally professional distance learning course.
As a recognized institution in adult education, our curricula are regularly evaluated and recognized by state institutions and funding bodies. We are constantly striving to exceed current quality standards in order to guarantee you the best possible training. Convince yourself of our certifications.
There are a variety of funding options for training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding body.
You can find an overview of the most important funding bodies here.
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.
The job of a triathlon coach is to comprehensively prepare triathletes for triathlon or similar competitions. The coach adapts the training flexibly to the athlete in order to optimally increase performance. Starting with an analysis of technique, such as swimming style or cycling technique, through to performance diagnostics, the coach first gets an idea of where the focus of the training needs to be placed.
Based on this, the trainer creates a training plan that combines specific strength training with technique and endurance training. As a trainer, you are also responsible for motivating and mentally training the customer in order to prepare them mentally for the competition.
We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.
If you have already completed an apprenticeship with us and you are interested in a further course, the Sports Competence module will be credited to you.
If you are studying at a university, we can sometimes credit individual subjects. For example, if you have completed training in the medical field, experience has shown that the subjects of anatomy and physiology can often be credited. If you have completed training with another provider of adult education (e.g. online trainer license, Vitalakademie, etc.), we will have to assess individually whether something can be credited.
Our training courses can be paid for conveniently in installments, there are no additional costs! Our team will be happy to help you with a payment plan.
Once you have made your booking, you will have full access to your Academy account and your learning materials. You can cancel at any time within 14 days without giving a reason. This will not incur any costs for you! The (first) invoice will be sent to you by e-mail approximately 3 weeks after registration.
