Barefoot running
We humans are literally born to run. From our metabolism to our anatomy, our system is optimized for long and enduring locomotion through running. However, due to our modern lifestyle, we have less and less necessity or opportunity to engage in this type of movement. One example of this is moving without footwear.

In this course, you will learn:
  • Why is barefoot locomotion in the broadest sense the "natural" way of walking or running?
  • What are the consequences of the societal convention of wearing footwear?
  • What advantages can partial abandonment of footwear bring?
  • When is barefoot running advisable or to be avoided?
  • What should be considered when gradually integrating barefoot locomotion into ones (training) routine?

Mountain run - Stair run - Ultra
Mountain runs, stair runs, and ultradistance (>42km) runs are becoming increasingly popular. In addition to the general requirements that athletes need for these types of competitions (general endurance capacity), these races have one thing in common: they put an extreme strain on your system and therefore require special training methods for optimal preparation. At the same time, runners often partially use these specific training methods to prepare for "classic" road races. In this course, you will learn:
  • What are the peculiarities of mountain, stair, and ultradistance runs?
  • What similarities (in terms of endurance-specific basic requirements) do these categories have?
  • What special metabolic and anatomical requirements are placed on mountain, stair, and ultrarunners?
  • What (specific) training methods do we find in the best mountain, stair, and ultrarunners? What physiological adaptations do these trainings trigger?
  • What relevance can these "special forms" of training have for road runners/triathletes?

Nutrition in competition and training
What we feed our body has a direct and significant impact on our physical performance. The actual improvements in running form naturally occur through targeted training. However, without adequate nutrition, even the best training plan is only half as valuable, or can potentially lead to a decline in performance. Well-thought-out nutrition is therefore often the most important supporting act of a holistic training.

In this module, we dont just tell you "how to eat", but teach you the fundamentals. In conjunction with knowledge of human physiology, you will understand why we need certain nutrients, what "tools" are available to us for developing a nutrition plan, and how to evaluate the latest "nutrition trends" found on the internet and social media.

Among other things, you will learn:
  • How is the energy we need for physical activity produced in the body?
  • How does "normal" nutrition differ from "optimal" sports nutrition?
  • How do the worlds best endurance athletes eat?
  • How much flexibility do I have in creating my optimal nutrition plan?
  • What are the key "rules" of holistic sports nutrition?
  • Do I need to make special preparations regarding my nutrition for competition day?
  • How do I assess a clients nutrition and what "tools" are available to me to improve it?

Fartlek
The Fartlek is one of the most diverse and popular training methods in running. Versatile, entertaining, and varied.

A fartlek can be a great way to increase motivation and make running more interesting. In a fartlek, it is up to the runner to decide when and how long to run at a certain pace. A fartlek includes short sprints of 50 to 100 meters in length, fast segments of 30 seconds to three minutes, and brisk passages lasting over three minutes.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, there are some rules to consider in order to make the training successful. For example, there should always be a jog or walk break after exposing yourself to a hard tempo load. The faster and longer the segment was, the more extensive the break should be. The duration of the breaks should not be too short either, so that the body can recover.

The learned knowledge is then directly applied in practice. We will explain to you what you should pay attention to during training, how you can structure the method, and when it is useful to use it.

In combination with the previously acquired knowledge from the running coach training course, we will explore what exactly is achieved through the training method "fartlek" and who can benefit from it the most.

When it comes to being in peak form on competition day (day X) after weeks and months of consistent training, we enter the world of the "Art & Science of Tapering". In other words, how can I get the most out of the performance I have built up through a long-term training process.

In this course, we cover:
  • (How) should I adjust my training in the final days or weeks before my competition?
  • Which variables of my training can or should I change? (Volume, intensity, frequency)?
  • What should I consider regarding nutrition for an upcoming competition?
  • What is the relevance of various recovery measures for the immediate preparation for competition day, or what can I do if I have to compete in multiple events within a short period of time (e.g., athletics)?

Extensive interval training
In addition to basic training, interval training is the second essential pillar of a holistic and "optimal" endurance training. The key feature of the interval method is the division of training into loading and unloading phases. In practice, interval training is often used synonymously with high-intensity training. Hence the term HI(I)T, High-Intensity (Interval) Training.

Since HIIT is a real trending topic at the moment and there are many myths surrounding this "time-saving & ultra-effective" form of endurance training, we will teach you the basics in this module (combined with intensive interval training). These basics are necessary to understand what is really behind the statements of many "fitness influencers," "gurus," and "bro-scientists." HI(I)T, the fast track to success, or just another component of a balanced training program?

In this course, you will learn:
  • What really makes high-quality interval training?
  • What are the subtypes of interval training?
  • What exactly does "intensity" mean and how can I control it in training?
  • How much interval training vs. continuous training should I integrate into a training plan?
  • What are the various contraindications for performing interval training?
  • What are other signs that I should be more sparing with interval training?

Intensive interval training
In this subject, we will focus on intensive interval training and also implement it in practice. This type of training is very effective when applied correctly and can help improve running performance. 

Interval training is a training methodology in running, characterized by a systematic alternation between stress and recovery phases (intervals) in a training session. The recovery phases, also known as rewarding breaks, are performed at a slow jogging pace and do not lead to complete regeneration. Interval training is an effective method to increase endurance and improve running performance. Many runners use interval training to prepare for a race, as it enhances the ability to move at a faster speed and endure for a longer period of time.  

When intensive interval training is properly executed, it can significantly improve your running performance and that of your clients. 

In this subject of the running coach training, we will also implement this demanding but effective type of training in practice. We will explore how to effectively utilize this method to increase endurance.

The recovery phase is an essential component of endurance training. The duration of recovery phases should be adjusted to the intensity and volume of the training. The heart rate is an important indicator for the recovery phase. The behavior of the heart rate during the recovery phase mainly depends on the performance and training condition. A heart rate of 120 beats per minute serves as a rough guideline for the start of the next stress phase. Runners with a lower maximum heart rate (< 170 beats per minute) and lower resting heart rate (< 50 beats per minute) should not end the recovery phase until the heart rate has dropped below 100 beats per minute. Recreational runners with a high maximum heart rate (> 195 beats per minute) can start the next interval stress at a heart rate of 130 beats per minute. The optimal recovery value can be determined through lactate measurement.  

In this subject, you will definitely break a sweat!

Running technique
Running technique is, alongside the metabolic (internal) parameters, one of the most important determinants of endurance performance.

The term "movement economy" refers, in simple terms, to the degree of energetic efficiency of running movements. Or in other words, how much energy is consumed with each stride? From observations and studies in recent years, we can conclude that a large number of runners who work on improving their running technique or movement optimization can achieve significant performance improvements.

Improving running technique is particularly relevant for runners who run at a high level and have ambitious goals. When the stride is too long and the foot lands far in front of the bodys center of gravity, energy is wasted. The momentum of the running movement is slowed down with each step, and high forces act on the muscles, tendons, joints, and bones, increasing the risk of injury. The risk is especially high for runners who land on their heels, as there is a danger of landing too far in front. It is lower for those who land on the midfoot, automatically placing the foot closer below the bodys center of gravity.

Running with an upright posture:
At the end of the flight phase, just before the foot touches the ground, the brain sends a signal to the muscles to prepare for impact. The muscles contract to stabilize the joints. However, if this communication is faulty or too slow, the information does not reach the muscles in time. If the upper body is not properly aligned, ideal landing is not possible. If you have a hollow back, the upper body shifts backward and you land with your foot too far in front. If the upper body is leaning too far forward, clean landing is also not possible.

This section of the Running Coach Training covers the following topics:
  • Is there such a thing as the "ideal" running technique?
  • What are the determinants of an economical running form?
  • Which aspects of running technique should I definitely consider, and where do I have individual leeway?
  • What approaches are suitable for improving/changing running technique?

Performance diagnostics
Performance diagnostics is often considered the first important step in optimal and long-term training planning. It can essentially fulfill two essential functions:
  1. Determination of the current status regarding individual training zones ("Foundation vs. High-Intensity"). These are essential for targeted training planning.
  2. Comparison of performance over time (within the training process). Here, it is assessed whether the training has produced the desired adaptations (improvements).
However, performance diagnostics is a complex and multifaceted topic. Often, you hear about 5 different experts and 10 different opinions. We will teach you the basics so that you can evaluate the various statements yourself.

You will learn:
  • What forms of performance diagnostics are there?
    • Laboratory vs. field test
    • Lactate diagnostics vs. spirometry
    • Measurement of internal vs. external parameters
  • What advantages and disadvantages do the respective methods bring?
  • What self-testing options are available to us?
  • When is performance diagnostics actually relevant?

Motivation
Understandably, when it comes to training and sports, the body (or the physical aspect) is often at the center of attention. However, nowadays we know that the separation of body and mind is a false dichotomy. The inner attitude, mindset, psyche (call it what you will) has a strong and direct effect on the physical processes in the body. Therefore, it is not surprising that working on or training the inner world offers great potential for improving performance or enhancing training and quality of life.

In this course, we will explain:
  • Why is the nature of the "inner world" relevant to training?
  • How does my "perception of the world" affect my athletic performance or health?
  • What role does the type of my personal goals play? (e.g. intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation)
  • What role does goal setting play and how do I set "optimal" goals?
  • What tools do I have to positively influence my inner dialogue?

Pacemaking/The role of the running coach
Pacemaking refers to the "setting of a pace by a pacemaker" and can help to optimize the quality of training and improve performance in competition on many levels. In this subject, we explain the benefits of pacemaking and the aspects that a good pacemaker needs to pay attention to in order to offer other runners maximum added value.

Specific strength training
Strength training can and should be an integral part of a holistic endurance training. From directly improving athletic performance, to injury prevention, to increasing overall load tolerance and physical well-being. A well-planned and strategically implemented strength program will complement the training plan of every runner.

But cant it also go wrong? Could I potentially become too "bulky" for endurance sports? And how do I incorporate working with weights into my training to avoid dragging my legs behind me during the next interval training or long jog?

In this module, you will learn why classic strength training can have a solid place in running training and what actual adaptations occur in your body. Additionally, we will discuss the "ideal" way to incorporate heavy lifting/pressing into the long-term plan without experiencing unwanted interference effects.

Tempo endurance run
The tempo run is one of the absolute classics among the training methods in running. It is a faster endurance run lasting 20 to 60 minutes. The pace is fast but not strained.

This training session is ideal for improving endurance and running performance. Especially for runners who have a goal in mind, the tempo run is an important training. However, due to the high intensity of running, the body is also heavily stressed.

Many athletes use the tempo run to save time and get the most out of their training. Other runners use the tempo run to give their competition form the final touch. The idea is to gradually get used to a faster pace over time and thus improve endurance.

The following should be considered when performing a tempo run:
Some runners make the mistake of starting their tempo run too fast and then tiring too quickly.
This can lead to an unproductive running experience and may prevent you from incorporating this type of running into your training. Instead, it is important to proceed slowly and methodically to ensure that you properly prepare your body for the faster pace.

In this section of the running coach training, participants learn how the tempo run can fit optimally into their own training or the training of their clients and when it should be used in a more controlled manner.

Tips and motivation from running specialists
In the subject Tips and Motivation from Running Specialists, various smaller topics are covered that are important in the world of running but play a subordinate role in other subjects.

These include hydration during training and competition, the danger of chronic energy deficiency, and carbohydrate intake during training and competition. In addition, we will address training in extreme weather conditions such as heat or cold.

Our running specialists have some tips and motivations for you as you prepare for your next race.

Other topics covered in the subject:

. Fatigue in Sports
In sports and leisure activities, there are often fatigue symptoms that reduce performance. It is important to know the causes of fatigue in order to combat them effectively. We will explore the causes of fatigue and the possibilities for treatment.

. Equipment and Gear
Choosing the right running shoes is crucial for runners. They must fit well, be comfortable, and provide good cushioning. Which shoe is right for me? This is a frequently asked question with no definitive answer. It always depends on what type of runner you are and what kind of running you want to do. We will discuss the different materials and equipment for running and find out which ones are best suited for you.

. Recovery Measures
Recovery measures are essential for long-term performance. This applies to both recreational athletes and professionals. The most important recovery measures are: massages, sauna, stretching, rest and recovery, healthy nutrition.

. Strength Training for Runners
Strength training is not only for bodybuilders and people who focus on muscle size. Many runners mistakenly believe that running is the only thing they need to do to stay in shape, but that is not the case. Strength training can help you run faster and more effectively by improving your strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Now you have already received a lot of input from the subject Tips and Motivation from running specialists in the Running Trainer Training . You will receive many more tips directly in the training.

Training methods
Running is one of the most effective sports to stay fit and improve health. However, many people start running without a clear goal in mind and quickly give up because they dont see progress.

Because running is not just running. Depending on whether you are an 800m or marathon runner, the requirements for your physiology are different. Accordingly, at the beginning of this module, we review some of the basics regarding endurance performance, energy supply, training zones, and stress parameters from the basic module of sports competence.

Based on this knowledge, you will learn about the different methods of endurance training and understand which methods are suitable for which purpose. To find the right method for yourself or your clients, it is important to first familiarize yourself with the different methods and understand their training effects.
These include interval training, tempo training, strength training, and endurance training.

We will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method and practice them in real-life scenarios. This course aims to shed light on some of the most common mistakes runners make and how to avoid them. We will also introduce some training methods that aim to improve performance and maintain health.

For future running trainers, this is a very important subject to support their clients in achieving their goals.

After completing this module, you will be able to:
  • assess the requirements profile for different types of runners
  • make statements about meaningful training methods
  • prescribe intensity distributions (depending on the individual goals of the athletes)

Designing a training plan
The design of the long-term performance development (training planning) is one of the central activities of the running coach. Depending on the individual goal of the athlete, a variety of factors must be considered to optimize the planning from a physiological and psychological perspective. The challenges for designing an effective training plan vary greatly depending on the performance level, other professional activities, genetic foundations, individual motivation, time constraints, and external circumstances.

Anyone who has ever created a training plan for a competition or another sports goal knows how complex the topic is. Many runners are not aware of the importance of proper training planning for success in competition. Whether you want to run a half marathon, a marathon, or even an ultramarathon, the right training planning can make a significant difference in seconds, or even minutes.

Many different factors must be considered to optimize the planning from both a physiological and psychological perspective.

In this course, our aspiring running coaches will delve into training planning and focus specifically on the following points:

- What factors need to be considered in training planning?
- How can performance development be optimized?
- How can athlete motivation be increased?

You must not only focus on the running route and the running style of your future clients, but also on other factors. The points that need to be considered in the optimal design of a training plan are the athletes goals, their current performance level, the available training resources and infrastructure, as well as the time and location constraints. When setting goals, it is important to set realistic and achievable goals that motivate the athlete and help them progress.

Every runner is different, not only in terms of their starting level, but also their goals and training. To meet the individual needs, it is important for the running coach to understand the athletes needs. Only then can they create a training plan that truly increases motivation and leads to the desired goals.

Training plan design II
The design of long-term performance development (training planning) is one of the central activities of the running coach. Depending on the individual goal of the respective athlete, a variety of factors must be taken into account in order to "optimize" the planning from a physiological and psychological point of view. Depending on the level of performance, (other) professional activity, (genetic) basic requirements, time resources, etc., etc., the training plan of each athlete can and MUST be adapted to the circumstances of their life.

In Part 2, we look specifically at the relationship between load and relief. The search for the optimal relationship between these two components of training planning can certainly be seen as THE task of performance-oriented training.
  • What needs to be considered, what influencing factors are there and how can I measure load and stress?
  • Which training methods can or should I use and when in order to achieve which goals (adaptations)?

Repetition method
The repetition method is a suitable way to train specific endurance due to its load norms.

In recreational, amateur, and health sports, it is not significant due to high organizational and physical demands (cf. Weineck, 2002).

The repetition method is only referred to when the principle of complete rest is followed. It is a training form that is performed at very high intensities (90-100%). This is only possible with long and complete rests.

The complete recovery between each load phase is of enormous importance. The focus of the training effects is on aerobic-anaerobic energy supply. The method greatly enhances aerobic performance, leading to increased endurance performance.

Breathing, cardiovascular system, and metabolism should be able to return to their initial state. The pace of the repetitions should always be chosen so that the runners can complete each subsequent repetition in full length and with the same technique as the previous repetition.

This method is suitable for both beginners and advanced athletes and is a good way to increase endurance and gradually adapt to longer distances.

This subject in the running coach training is an optimal preparation for our future participants.

After completing this subject, you will understand:
  • What are the differences between the repetition method and the interval method?
  • At what intensities is the repetition method trained?
  • What should be considered regarding the design of the rest phases?
  • What physiological processes/adaptations does it trigger?
  • What relevance does the repetition method have in endurance training?
  • How/why should or can the repetition method be combined with basic training?

Beginner Training in Practice
Historical methods of teaching swimming almost always include the elements of "dry land", the use of "buoyancy aids" and the gradual approach to the swimming style. The main purpose is to introduce swimming techniques on land, the use of swimming aids, such as swimming on a pole, and the gradual approach.

It is important for beginners to create a basis and to achieve a gradual approach to the goal through a series of exercises. The correct methodical structure of the exercise series is crucial in order not to over- or underchallenge beginners. Technique training is also a form of training and requires the right level of challenge in order to achieve a set goal - in this case, learning swimming techniques - in the best possible way.

Current procedures deal with water familiarization, water mastery and introductory swimming techniques.

Getting used to the water:
  • Getting to know the water
  • Safe, fear-free and swift movement
  • Immersion of the head or face
Mastering the water:
  • Breathing
  • (Under)diving
  • Floating and gliding
  • jumping
  • Moving around

Kinesiology (SWC)
Moving around in water is one of the basic physical skills of modern man. Swimming can be learned at any age and is also suitable as a sport for everyone. Swimming is easy on the joints, uses many different muscle groups, improves endurance, promotes lung function, strengthens the immune system and leads to better blood circulation. Swimming is therefore a sport for everyone, regardless of ability level, body type and previous experience. It can be practiced both as an independent health or competitive sport and as a supplement to other sports.

However, as with any other sport, there are methodological and scientific principles to be observed. The methodological structure ranges from getting used to the water, through dry exercises and learning with aids, to the actual movement in the water. The theory of movement deals with the structure, processes, conditions and consequences of sporting movements, in this case swimming. An understanding of the biomechanical principles of swimming techniques is crucial for the development, learning and teaching of correct techniques.

Building on this, the basics of swimming techniques as well as the anatomy and technique of swimming styles, turning techniques and measures for correcting movement in the respective disciplines are covered.

Swimming styles covered:
  • Crawl
  • Back crawl
  • dolphin
  • breaststroke

Chest Technique in Practice (SWC)

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.

Dolphin technology practice
We start at childrens and beginner level with the exercises and begin with the basics and preparatory exercises for dolphin swimming.

The dolphin swimming technique, also known as butterfly swimming, is considered the most difficult and strenuous style. The technique is similar to crawl swimming in terms of muscular strain, but the movement is performed with both arms and both legs and the undulation movement is initiated from the lower back. From there, a wave movement takes place over the legs to the feet with a final kick of both feet. Furthermore, a constant change in the water position is required, whereby the angle of attack of the upper body must be observed. The arm movement is divided into an immersion and extension phase, a pull and push phase and a return phase.

We will then use fins as our primary aid. This will first teach us the correct leg stroke and the dolphin wave movement. It is then easy to add the arm stroke and swim at least a whole length of dolphin in a relaxed manner with the help of the fins.

Kraule freestyle technique practice

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.

Teaching performance of the participants Practice
In this subject, participants apply the theoretical knowledge and techniques they have learned independently. They draw up a timetable for swimming lessons on specific topics and carry them out with the group. Attention is paid to the guidance of the swimming instructor, the correct sequence and correction. The aim is to offer the opportunity to slip into the role of the trainer and gain experience in a familiar environment. Our specialist instructors will provide feedback so that you are ready to lead swimming training sessions after completing the course!

Practical exercises in the water Practice

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!

mod-img
Back technology practice

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.

Specific strength training and mobilization
Specific strength training and mobilization play an important role in swimming to improve performance and efficiency in the water. Swimming is a demanding full-body sport that requires good strength endurance and flexibility.

Specific strength training in swimming refers to the targeted strengthening of muscles that are important for swimming movements. These include the muscles of the shoulder girdle, upper arm and chest muscles. A good position in the water also requires a high level of core tension and body control. Specific strength training can improve swimming technique and increase performance. Furthermore, the muscles that are weaker in swimming need to be trained additionally in order to avoid imbalances and prevent injuries.

In addition to specific strength training, mobilization in swimming is also important to prevent injuries and increase the efficiency of swimming movements. Sufficient joint mobility supports technically clean execution, as well as the maintenance and expansion of the ROM (range of motion) and thus subsequently the performance output. The main focus here is on improving mobility in the shoulder, hip and spine area. Targeted mobilization exercises can help to relieve muscle tension and increase mobility.

By specifically training the swimming muscles and improving mobility, swimmers can improve their technique, enhance their performance and prevent injuries.

Lesson design and methodology
In the lesson design, the structure of a unit is gone through step by step. The focus is on the objectives of a teaching or training unit for an optimal design of the warm-up, main part and cool-down. Sports methodology is used to introduce methods for communicating learning objectives and provide initial information on lesson design.

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

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.

Video analysis of the various techniques
Video analysis is an important part of modern swimming training. The technology enables coaches and athletes to record their performances on video and analyze them in detail. By using special analysis tools, certain aspects of the swimming style, such as arm strokes, leg movements and posture, can be closely observed and improved.

Thorough video analysis can also help to identify and correct technical errors that prevent athletes from reaching their full potential. The use of slow motion technology makes it possible to closely observe each movement and understand how it can be improved.

Another benefit of video analysis in swimming is the ability to track progress. By recording and comparing videos of training sessions, you can see how the athletes performance has improved. This can be motivating and shows that hard work and continuous training really does lead to progress.

Overall, video analysis in swimming is a valuable tool for athletes and coaches. It helps to improve technique, track progress and correct mistakes. However, it is important to note that it is not the only tool and is most effective when combined with other training methods.

Setup and training transition zones
The "transition" is often referred to as the 4th discipline in triathlon. However, depending on the distance chosen (e.g. sprint vs. Ironman), this discipline will have more or less relevance for the athletes competition. Regardless of the relative proportion of the total competition duration, it is still relevant to consider the transition between the sports.

A well-planned transition can save valuable cognitive resources in the heat of competition and give the athlete the necessary rest to reach their full performance potential. Accordingly, in this module we look at the special features of the transition zone, possible complications and tips on how to avoid them.

Interval training
The interval method refers to the planned alternation between exertion and relief, whereby the athlete has a defined number of intervals with defined exertion conditions.

The general effects of this training method include a development of the cardiovascular system, an improvement in the aerobic-anaerobic metabolism with glycogen utilization and increased cardiac and respiratory activity.

A distinction is made between long-term intervals (strength endurance or uphill) and short-term intervals (sprint intervals, HIIT).

Coupling training
The most competition-specific training in the triathlon is the combined training. The aim here is to switch to the next sport immediately after completing a training session in one sport. In other words, "linking" two training sessions together. As the change in load between the three very different sports can be quite a challenge for our bodies, it is advisable to simulate and train this.

In combination with the different training methods, the coupling training can be carried out in a variety of ways. We teach you the necessary skills to incorporate this tool flexibly and individually into the training practice of athletes.

Strength training for triathletes
Strength training is not only relevant for strength athletes. On the contrary, holistic strength training is now part of the training plan of almost all performance-oriented athletes. The keywords here are "load tolerance, injury profile axis and economy of movement". Even outside of performance-oriented sport, strength training should be an integral part of the life of anyone who cares about their health and well-being.

In this module, you will learn to understand
  • Why strength training has relevance for just about everyone
  • How strength training can help endurance athletes stay injury-free and improve their performance
  • What to look out for when combining endurance and strength training in a training plan
  • How strength training should be done for endurance athletes (youll be surprised)

Open Water
Of the three disciplines, swimming causes some athletes the greatest difficulties. And not entirely without good reason. Water is a very unfamiliar environment for us humans and anyone who has not spent many hours in this medium from an early age may well experience certain teething problems.

Swimming in open water (open water swimming) also offers further potential for complications. "Fear" or respect for unknown waters, orientation and competing with other athletes are the most important aspects here.

We will teach you how to gradually introduce yourself and your athletes to open water swimming, what to look out for in training and competitions and how you can get the most enjoyment out of this wonderful outdoor activity.

Special training planning
The central question of training planning is: "How do I structure the loads and unloads in my training in order to optimize my performance improvement?

In other words, WHAT should I train WHEN, how LONG, how HARD and how OFTEN in order to optimally achieve my individual goals.

In triathlon, this task is made a little more difficult. Balancing three sports can be a huge challenge for athletes and coaches alike. In this module, we will look at the synergies and problems involved in training for the three disciplines and what we need to bear in mind if we want to build up our performance in the long term.

Tactics, race organization and catering
"Hitting the wall" refers to a sudden drop in performance due to a "wrong" chosen pace or inadequate nutrition during a competition.

Pacing is of great importance in all (long-term) endurance sports. Especially in triathlon, with its many changes in exertion, this topic becomes even more important.

This also includes race nutrition in the form of drinks or sports nutrition. For many athletes, this is one of the points with the greatest potential for optimization. We explain the latest scientific findings on optimal pacing and race nutrition to help you stay a few steps ahead of the man with the hammer.

Barefoot running
We humans are literally born to run. From our metabolism to our anatomy, our system is optimized for long and enduring locomotion through running. However, due to our modern lifestyle, we have less and less necessity or opportunity to engage in this type of movement. One example of this is moving without footwear.

In this course, you will learn:
  • Why is barefoot locomotion in the broadest sense the "natural" way of walking or running?
  • What are the consequences of the societal convention of wearing footwear?
  • What advantages can partial abandonment of footwear bring?
  • When is barefoot running advisable or to be avoided?
  • What should be considered when gradually integrating barefoot locomotion into ones (training) routine?

Mountain run - Stair run - Ultra
Mountain runs, stair runs, and ultradistance (>42km) runs are becoming increasingly popular. In addition to the general requirements that athletes need for these types of competitions (general endurance capacity), these races have one thing in common: they put an extreme strain on your system and therefore require special training methods for optimal preparation. At the same time, runners often partially use these specific training methods to prepare for "classic" road races. In this course, you will learn:
  • What are the peculiarities of mountain, stair, and ultradistance runs?
  • What similarities (in terms of endurance-specific basic requirements) do these categories have?
  • What special metabolic and anatomical requirements are placed on mountain, stair, and ultrarunners?
  • What (specific) training methods do we find in the best mountain, stair, and ultrarunners? What physiological adaptations do these trainings trigger?
  • What relevance can these "special forms" of training have for road runners/triathletes?

Nutrition in competition and training
What we feed our body has a direct and significant impact on our physical performance. The actual improvements in running form naturally occur through targeted training. However, without adequate nutrition, even the best training plan is only half as valuable, or can potentially lead to a decline in performance. Well-thought-out nutrition is therefore often the most important supporting act of a holistic training.

In this module, we dont just tell you "how to eat", but teach you the fundamentals. In conjunction with knowledge of human physiology, you will understand why we need certain nutrients, what "tools" are available to us for developing a nutrition plan, and how to evaluate the latest "nutrition trends" found on the internet and social media.

Among other things, you will learn:
  • How is the energy we need for physical activity produced in the body?
  • How does "normal" nutrition differ from "optimal" sports nutrition?
  • How do the worlds best endurance athletes eat?
  • How much flexibility do I have in creating my optimal nutrition plan?
  • What are the key "rules" of holistic sports nutrition?
  • Do I need to make special preparations regarding my nutrition for competition day?
  • How do I assess a clients nutrition and what "tools" are available to me to improve it?

Fartlek
The Fartlek is one of the most diverse and popular training methods in running. Versatile, entertaining, and varied.

A fartlek can be a great way to increase motivation and make running more interesting. In a fartlek, it is up to the runner to decide when and how long to run at a certain pace. A fartlek includes short sprints of 50 to 100 meters in length, fast segments of 30 seconds to three minutes, and brisk passages lasting over three minutes.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, there are some rules to consider in order to make the training successful. For example, there should always be a jog or walk break after exposing yourself to a hard tempo load. The faster and longer the segment was, the more extensive the break should be. The duration of the breaks should not be too short either, so that the body can recover.

The learned knowledge is then directly applied in practice. We will explain to you what you should pay attention to during training, how you can structure the method, and when it is useful to use it.

In combination with the previously acquired knowledge from the running coach training course, we will explore what exactly is achieved through the training method "fartlek" and who can benefit from it the most.

Extensive interval training
In addition to basic training, interval training is the second essential pillar of a holistic and "optimal" endurance training. The key feature of the interval method is the division of training into loading and unloading phases. In practice, interval training is often used synonymously with high-intensity training. Hence the term HI(I)T, High-Intensity (Interval) Training.

Since HIIT is a real trending topic at the moment and there are many myths surrounding this "time-saving & ultra-effective" form of endurance training, we will teach you the basics in this module (combined with intensive interval training). These basics are necessary to understand what is really behind the statements of many "fitness influencers," "gurus," and "bro-scientists." HI(I)T, the fast track to success, or just another component of a balanced training program?

In this course, you will learn:
  • What really makes high-quality interval training?
  • What are the subtypes of interval training?
  • What exactly does "intensity" mean and how can I control it in training?
  • How much interval training vs. continuous training should I integrate into a training plan?
  • What are the various contraindications for performing interval training?
  • What are other signs that I should be more sparing with interval training?

Intensive interval training
In this subject, we will focus on intensive interval training and also implement it in practice. This type of training is very effective when applied correctly and can help improve running performance. 

Interval training is a training methodology in running, characterized by a systematic alternation between stress and recovery phases (intervals) in a training session. The recovery phases, also known as rewarding breaks, are performed at a slow jogging pace and do not lead to complete regeneration. Interval training is an effective method to increase endurance and improve running performance. Many runners use interval training to prepare for a race, as it enhances the ability to move at a faster speed and endure for a longer period of time.  

When intensive interval training is properly executed, it can significantly improve your running performance and that of your clients. 

In this subject of the running coach training, we will also implement this demanding but effective type of training in practice. We will explore how to effectively utilize this method to increase endurance.

The recovery phase is an essential component of endurance training. The duration of recovery phases should be adjusted to the intensity and volume of the training. The heart rate is an important indicator for the recovery phase. The behavior of the heart rate during the recovery phase mainly depends on the performance and training condition. A heart rate of 120 beats per minute serves as a rough guideline for the start of the next stress phase. Runners with a lower maximum heart rate (< 170 beats per minute) and lower resting heart rate (< 50 beats per minute) should not end the recovery phase until the heart rate has dropped below 100 beats per minute. Recreational runners with a high maximum heart rate (> 195 beats per minute) can start the next interval stress at a heart rate of 130 beats per minute. The optimal recovery value can be determined through lactate measurement.  

In this subject, you will definitely break a sweat!

Running technique
Running technique is, alongside the metabolic (internal) parameters, one of the most important determinants of endurance performance.

The term "movement economy" refers, in simple terms, to the degree of energetic efficiency of running movements. Or in other words, how much energy is consumed with each stride? From observations and studies in recent years, we can conclude that a large number of runners who work on improving their running technique or movement optimization can achieve significant performance improvements.

Improving running technique is particularly relevant for runners who run at a high level and have ambitious goals. When the stride is too long and the foot lands far in front of the bodys center of gravity, energy is wasted. The momentum of the running movement is slowed down with each step, and high forces act on the muscles, tendons, joints, and bones, increasing the risk of injury. The risk is especially high for runners who land on their heels, as there is a danger of landing too far in front. It is lower for those who land on the midfoot, automatically placing the foot closer below the bodys center of gravity.

Running with an upright posture:
At the end of the flight phase, just before the foot touches the ground, the brain sends a signal to the muscles to prepare for impact. The muscles contract to stabilize the joints. However, if this communication is faulty or too slow, the information does not reach the muscles in time. If the upper body is not properly aligned, ideal landing is not possible. If you have a hollow back, the upper body shifts backward and you land with your foot too far in front. If the upper body is leaning too far forward, clean landing is also not possible.

This section of the Running Coach Training covers the following topics:
  • Is there such a thing as the "ideal" running technique?
  • What are the determinants of an economical running form?
  • Which aspects of running technique should I definitely consider, and where do I have individual leeway?
  • What approaches are suitable for improving/changing running technique?

Performance diagnostics
Performance diagnostics is often considered the first important step in optimal and long-term training planning. It can essentially fulfill two essential functions:
  1. Determination of the current status regarding individual training zones ("Foundation vs. High-Intensity"). These are essential for targeted training planning.
  2. Comparison of performance over time (within the training process). Here, it is assessed whether the training has produced the desired adaptations (improvements).
However, performance diagnostics is a complex and multifaceted topic. Often, you hear about 5 different experts and 10 different opinions. We will teach you the basics so that you can evaluate the various statements yourself.

You will learn:
  • What forms of performance diagnostics are there?
    • Laboratory vs. field test
    • Lactate diagnostics vs. spirometry
    • Measurement of internal vs. external parameters
  • What advantages and disadvantages do the respective methods bring?
  • What self-testing options are available to us?
  • When is performance diagnostics actually relevant?

Motivation
Understandably, when it comes to training and sports, the body (or the physical aspect) is often at the center of attention. However, nowadays we know that the separation of body and mind is a false dichotomy. The inner attitude, mindset, psyche (call it what you will) has a strong and direct effect on the physical processes in the body. Therefore, it is not surprising that working on or training the inner world offers great potential for improving performance or enhancing training and quality of life.

In this course, we will explain:
  • Why is the nature of the "inner world" relevant to training?
  • How does my "perception of the world" affect my athletic performance or health?
  • What role does the type of my personal goals play? (e.g. intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation)
  • What role does goal setting play and how do I set "optimal" goals?
  • What tools do I have to positively influence my inner dialogue?

Specific strength training
Strength training can and should be an integral part of a holistic endurance training. From directly improving athletic performance, to injury prevention, to increasing overall load tolerance and physical well-being. A well-planned and strategically implemented strength program will complement the training plan of every runner.

But cant it also go wrong? Could I potentially become too "bulky" for endurance sports? And how do I incorporate working with weights into my training to avoid dragging my legs behind me during the next interval training or long jog?

In this module, you will learn why classic strength training can have a solid place in running training and what actual adaptations occur in your body. Additionally, we will discuss the "ideal" way to incorporate heavy lifting/pressing into the long-term plan without experiencing unwanted interference effects.

Tempo endurance run
The tempo run is one of the absolute classics among the training methods in running. It is a faster endurance run lasting 20 to 60 minutes. The pace is fast but not strained.

This training session is ideal for improving endurance and running performance. Especially for runners who have a goal in mind, the tempo run is an important training. However, due to the high intensity of running, the body is also heavily stressed.

Many athletes use the tempo run to save time and get the most out of their training. Other runners use the tempo run to give their competition form the final touch. The idea is to gradually get used to a faster pace over time and thus improve endurance.

The following should be considered when performing a tempo run:
Some runners make the mistake of starting their tempo run too fast and then tiring too quickly.
This can lead to an unproductive running experience and may prevent you from incorporating this type of running into your training. Instead, it is important to proceed slowly and methodically to ensure that you properly prepare your body for the faster pace.

In this section of the running coach training, participants learn how the tempo run can fit optimally into their own training or the training of their clients and when it should be used in a more controlled manner.

Tips and motivation from running specialists
In the subject Tips and Motivation from Running Specialists, various smaller topics are covered that are important in the world of running but play a subordinate role in other subjects.

These include hydration during training and competition, the danger of chronic energy deficiency, and carbohydrate intake during training and competition. In addition, we will address training in extreme weather conditions such as heat or cold.

Our running specialists have some tips and motivations for you as you prepare for your next race.

Other topics covered in the subject:

. Fatigue in Sports
In sports and leisure activities, there are often fatigue symptoms that reduce performance. It is important to know the causes of fatigue in order to combat them effectively. We will explore the causes of fatigue and the possibilities for treatment.

. Equipment and Gear
Choosing the right running shoes is crucial for runners. They must fit well, be comfortable, and provide good cushioning. Which shoe is right for me? This is a frequently asked question with no definitive answer. It always depends on what type of runner you are and what kind of running you want to do. We will discuss the different materials and equipment for running and find out which ones are best suited for you.

. Recovery Measures
Recovery measures are essential for long-term performance. This applies to both recreational athletes and professionals. The most important recovery measures are: massages, sauna, stretching, rest and recovery, healthy nutrition.

. Strength Training for Runners
Strength training is not only for bodybuilders and people who focus on muscle size. Many runners mistakenly believe that running is the only thing they need to do to stay in shape, but that is not the case. Strength training can help you run faster and more effectively by improving your strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Now you have already received a lot of input from the subject Tips and Motivation from running specialists in the Running Trainer Training . You will receive many more tips directly in the training.

Training methods
Running is one of the most effective sports to stay fit and improve health. However, many people start running without a clear goal in mind and quickly give up because they dont see progress.

Because running is not just running. Depending on whether you are an 800m or marathon runner, the requirements for your physiology are different. Accordingly, at the beginning of this module, we review some of the basics regarding endurance performance, energy supply, training zones, and stress parameters from the basic module of sports competence.

Based on this knowledge, you will learn about the different methods of endurance training and understand which methods are suitable for which purpose. To find the right method for yourself or your clients, it is important to first familiarize yourself with the different methods and understand their training effects.
These include interval training, tempo training, strength training, and endurance training.

We will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method and practice them in real-life scenarios. This course aims to shed light on some of the most common mistakes runners make and how to avoid them. We will also introduce some training methods that aim to improve performance and maintain health.

For future running trainers, this is a very important subject to support their clients in achieving their goals.

After completing this module, you will be able to:
  • assess the requirements profile for different types of runners
  • make statements about meaningful training methods
  • prescribe intensity distributions (depending on the individual goals of the athletes)

Designing a training plan
The design of the long-term performance development (training planning) is one of the central activities of the running coach. Depending on the individual goal of the athlete, a variety of factors must be considered to optimize the planning from a physiological and psychological perspective. The challenges for designing an effective training plan vary greatly depending on the performance level, other professional activities, genetic foundations, individual motivation, time constraints, and external circumstances.

Anyone who has ever created a training plan for a competition or another sports goal knows how complex the topic is. Many runners are not aware of the importance of proper training planning for success in competition. Whether you want to run a half marathon, a marathon, or even an ultramarathon, the right training planning can make a significant difference in seconds, or even minutes.

Many different factors must be considered to optimize the planning from both a physiological and psychological perspective.

In this course, our aspiring running coaches will delve into training planning and focus specifically on the following points:

- What factors need to be considered in training planning?
- How can performance development be optimized?
- How can athlete motivation be increased?

You must not only focus on the running route and the running style of your future clients, but also on other factors. The points that need to be considered in the optimal design of a training plan are the athletes goals, their current performance level, the available training resources and infrastructure, as well as the time and location constraints. When setting goals, it is important to set realistic and achievable goals that motivate the athlete and help them progress.

Every runner is different, not only in terms of their starting level, but also their goals and training. To meet the individual needs, it is important for the running coach to understand the athletes needs. Only then can they create a training plan that truly increases motivation and leads to the desired goals.

Training plan design II
The design of long-term performance development (training planning) is one of the central activities of the running coach. Depending on the individual goal of the respective athlete, a variety of factors must be taken into account in order to "optimize" the planning from a physiological and psychological point of view. Depending on the level of performance, (other) professional activity, (genetic) basic requirements, time resources, etc., etc., the training plan of each athlete can and MUST be adapted to the circumstances of their life.

In Part 2, we look specifically at the relationship between load and relief. The search for the optimal relationship between these two components of training planning can certainly be seen as THE task of performance-oriented training.
  • What needs to be considered, what influencing factors are there and how can I measure load and stress?
  • Which training methods can or should I use and when in order to achieve which goals (adaptations)?

Repetition method
The repetition method is a suitable way to train specific endurance due to its load norms.

In recreational, amateur, and health sports, it is not significant due to high organizational and physical demands (cf. Weineck, 2002).

The repetition method is only referred to when the principle of complete rest is followed. It is a training form that is performed at very high intensities (90-100%). This is only possible with long and complete rests.

The complete recovery between each load phase is of enormous importance. The focus of the training effects is on aerobic-anaerobic energy supply. The method greatly enhances aerobic performance, leading to increased endurance performance.

Breathing, cardiovascular system, and metabolism should be able to return to their initial state. The pace of the repetitions should always be chosen so that the runners can complete each subsequent repetition in full length and with the same technique as the previous repetition.

This method is suitable for both beginners and advanced athletes and is a good way to increase endurance and gradually adapt to longer distances.

This subject in the running coach training is an optimal preparation for our future participants.

After completing this subject, you will understand:
  • What are the differences between the repetition method and the interval method?
  • At what intensities is the repetition method trained?
  • What should be considered regarding the design of the rest phases?
  • What physiological processes/adaptations does it trigger?
  • What relevance does the repetition method have in endurance training?
  • How/why should or can the repetition method be combined with basic training?

Beginner Training in Practice
Historical methods of teaching swimming almost always include the elements of "dry land", the use of "buoyancy aids" and the gradual approach to the swimming style. The main purpose is to introduce swimming techniques on land, the use of swimming aids, such as swimming on a pole, and the gradual approach.

It is important for beginners to create a basis and to achieve a gradual approach to the goal through a series of exercises. The correct methodical structure of the exercise series is crucial in order not to over- or underchallenge beginners. Technique training is also a form of training and requires the right level of challenge in order to achieve a set goal - in this case, learning swimming techniques - in the best possible way.

Current procedures deal with water familiarization, water mastery and introductory swimming techniques.

Getting used to the water:
  • Getting to know the water
  • Safe, fear-free and swift movement
  • Immersion of the head or face
Mastering the water:
  • Breathing
  • (Under)diving
  • Floating and gliding
  • jumping
  • Moving around

Kinesiology (SWC)
Moving around in water is one of the basic physical skills of modern man. Swimming can be learned at any age and is also suitable as a sport for everyone. Swimming is easy on the joints, uses many different muscle groups, improves endurance, promotes lung function, strengthens the immune system and leads to better blood circulation. Swimming is therefore a sport for everyone, regardless of ability level, body type and previous experience. It can be practiced both as an independent health or competitive sport and as a supplement to other sports.

However, as with any other sport, there are methodological and scientific principles to be observed. The methodological structure ranges from getting used to the water, through dry exercises and learning with aids, to the actual movement in the water. The theory of movement deals with the structure, processes, conditions and consequences of sporting movements, in this case swimming. An understanding of the biomechanical principles of swimming techniques is crucial for the development, learning and teaching of correct techniques.

Building on this, the basics of swimming techniques as well as the anatomy and technique of swimming styles, turning techniques and measures for correcting movement in the respective disciplines are covered.

Swimming styles covered:
  • Crawl
  • Back crawl
  • dolphin
  • breaststroke

Chest Technique in Practice (SWC)

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.

Dolphin technology practice
We start at childrens and beginner level with the exercises and begin with the basics and preparatory exercises for dolphin swimming.

The dolphin swimming technique, also known as butterfly swimming, is considered the most difficult and strenuous style. The technique is similar to crawl swimming in terms of muscular strain, but the movement is performed with both arms and both legs and the undulation movement is initiated from the lower back. From there, a wave movement takes place over the legs to the feet with a final kick of both feet. Furthermore, a constant change in the water position is required, whereby the angle of attack of the upper body must be observed. The arm movement is divided into an immersion and extension phase, a pull and push phase and a return phase.

We will then use fins as our primary aid. This will first teach us the correct leg stroke and the dolphin wave movement. It is then easy to add the arm stroke and swim at least a whole length of dolphin in a relaxed manner with the help of the fins.

Kraule freestyle technique practice

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.

Teaching performance of the participants Practice
In this subject, participants apply the theoretical knowledge and techniques they have learned independently. They draw up a timetable for swimming lessons on specific topics and carry them out with the group. Attention is paid to the guidance of the swimming instructor, the correct sequence and correction. The aim is to offer the opportunity to slip into the role of the trainer and gain experience in a familiar environment. Our specialist instructors will provide feedback so that you are ready to lead swimming training sessions after completing the course!

Practical exercises in the water Practice

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!

mod-img
Back technology practice

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.

Specific strength training and mobilization
Specific strength training and mobilization play an important role in swimming to improve performance and efficiency in the water. Swimming is a demanding full-body sport that requires good strength endurance and flexibility.

Specific strength training in swimming refers to the targeted strengthening of muscles that are important for swimming movements. These include the muscles of the shoulder girdle, upper arm and chest muscles. A good position in the water also requires a high level of core tension and body control. Specific strength training can improve swimming technique and increase performance. Furthermore, the muscles that are weaker in swimming need to be trained additionally in order to avoid imbalances and prevent injuries.

In addition to specific strength training, mobilization in swimming is also important to prevent injuries and increase the efficiency of swimming movements. Sufficient joint mobility supports technically clean execution, as well as the maintenance and expansion of the ROM (range of motion) and thus subsequently the performance output. The main focus here is on improving mobility in the shoulder, hip and spine area. Targeted mobilization exercises can help to relieve muscle tension and increase mobility.

By specifically training the swimming muscles and improving mobility, swimmers can improve their technique, enhance their performance and prevent injuries.

Lesson design and methodology
In the lesson design, the structure of a unit is gone through step by step. The focus is on the objectives of a teaching or training unit for an optimal design of the warm-up, main part and cool-down. Sports methodology is used to introduce methods for communicating learning objectives and provide initial information on lesson design.

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

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.

Video analysis of the various techniques
Video analysis is an important part of modern swimming training. The technology enables coaches and athletes to record their performances on video and analyze them in detail. By using special analysis tools, certain aspects of the swimming style, such as arm strokes, leg movements and posture, can be closely observed and improved.

Thorough video analysis can also help to identify and correct technical errors that prevent athletes from reaching their full potential. The use of slow motion technology makes it possible to closely observe each movement and understand how it can be improved.

Another benefit of video analysis in swimming is the ability to track progress. By recording and comparing videos of training sessions, you can see how the athletes performance has improved. This can be motivating and shows that hard work and continuous training really does lead to progress.

Overall, video analysis in swimming is a valuable tool for athletes and coaches. It helps to improve technique, track progress and correct mistakes. However, it is important to note that it is not the only tool and is most effective when combined with other training methods.

Setup and training transition zones
The "transition" is often referred to as the 4th discipline in triathlon. However, depending on the distance chosen (e.g. sprint vs. Ironman), this discipline will have more or less relevance for the athletes competition. Regardless of the relative proportion of the total competition duration, it is still relevant to consider the transition between the sports.

A well-planned transition can save valuable cognitive resources in the heat of competition and give the athlete the necessary rest to reach their full performance potential. Accordingly, in this module we look at the special features of the transition zone, possible complications and tips on how to avoid them.

Interval training
The interval method refers to the planned alternation between exertion and relief, whereby the athlete has a defined number of intervals with defined exertion conditions.

The general effects of this training method include a development of the cardiovascular system, an improvement in the aerobic-anaerobic metabolism with glycogen utilization and increased cardiac and respiratory activity.

A distinction is made between long-term intervals (strength endurance or uphill) and short-term intervals (sprint intervals, HIIT).

Coupling training
The most competition-specific training in the triathlon is the combined training. The aim here is to switch to the next sport immediately after completing a training session in one sport. In other words, "linking" two training sessions together. As the change in load between the three very different sports can be quite a challenge for our bodies, it is advisable to simulate and train this.

In combination with the different training methods, the coupling training can be carried out in a variety of ways. We teach you the necessary skills to incorporate this tool flexibly and individually into the training practice of athletes.

Strength training for triathletes
Strength training is not only relevant for strength athletes. On the contrary, holistic strength training is now part of the training plan of almost all performance-oriented athletes. The keywords here are "load tolerance, injury profile axis and economy of movement". Even outside of performance-oriented sport, strength training should be an integral part of the life of anyone who cares about their health and well-being.

In this module, you will learn to understand
  • Why strength training has relevance for just about everyone
  • How strength training can help endurance athletes stay injury-free and improve their performance
  • What to look out for when combining endurance and strength training in a training plan
  • How strength training should be done for endurance athletes (youll be surprised)

Mental training
In this subject, a distinction is made between mental and autogenic training. Participants learn the definition and differentiation of mental training, as well as its development and various approaches.

The optimum performance level can be achieved with a mix of relaxation, activation and focus. Various techniques for training awareness, such as visualization, autosuggestion or relaxation methods, are intended to pave the way to this state.

The course then goes deeper with autogenic training, a legally recognized psychotherapy method, which is relaxation training with elements of autogenic training. Participants learn the 3 stages of autogenic training in detail in theory and practice.

Open Water
Of the three disciplines, swimming causes some athletes the greatest difficulties. And not entirely without good reason. Water is a very unfamiliar environment for us humans and anyone who has not spent many hours in this medium from an early age may well experience certain teething problems.

Swimming in open water (open water swimming) also offers further potential for complications. "Fear" or respect for unknown waters, orientation and competing with other athletes are the most important aspects here.

We will teach you how to gradually introduce yourself and your athletes to open water swimming, what to look out for in training and competitions and how you can get the most enjoyment out of this wonderful outdoor activity.

Special training planning
The central question of training planning is: "How do I structure the loads and unloads in my training in order to optimize my performance improvement?

In other words, WHAT should I train WHEN, how LONG, how HARD and how OFTEN in order to optimally achieve my individual goals.

In triathlon, this task is made a little more difficult. Balancing three sports can be a huge challenge for athletes and coaches alike. In this module, we will look at the synergies and problems involved in training for the three disciplines and what we need to bear in mind if we want to build up our performance in the long term.

Tactics, race organization and catering
"Hitting the wall" refers to a sudden drop in performance due to a "wrong" chosen pace or inadequate nutrition during a competition.

Pacing is of great importance in all (long-term) endurance sports. Especially in triathlon, with its many changes in exertion, this topic becomes even more important.

This also includes race nutrition in the form of drinks or sports nutrition. For many athletes, this is one of the points with the greatest potential for optimization. We explain the latest scientific findings on optimal pacing and race nutrition to help you stay a few steps ahead of the man with the hammer.

Cycling technique training
Riding a bike is far more complicated than simply pedaling. If you want to optimize your performance, you need to master the correct pedalling technique and braking, among other things. This enables the cyclist to achieve the best power transmission, reduce the risk of falling and avoid material damage.

It should also be possible to master bends, descents and climbs without losing speed or risking your own safety.

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

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.

How does the funding work?

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.

Can I take educational leave for the course?

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.

How does educational leave work?

You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:

  • Educational leave spread over 12 months
  • Educational leave split up, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
  • Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years

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.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training

What does a triathlon coach do?

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.

How does Flexyfit help me find a job?

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.

Sportkompetenz + Fitnesstrainer B-Lizenz sind ein sehr umfangreicher Kurs, in dem jede Menge Wissen vermittelt wird, welches dem aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Stand entspricht. Man bekommt einen Gegenwert für sein Geld. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Maschinentraining. Neben bekannten Übungen, werden auch interessante Spezialübungen gezeigt. Was ich etwas vermisst habe sind klassische Hantelübungen (z.B. Kurzhantelüberzüge, Kreuzhebevarianten, Kniebeugen, Bankdrücken, Stirndrücken, SZ-Bizepscurls,... usw.), welche meiner Meinung nach insbesondere für Anfänger etwas besser geeignet sind als einige der gezeigten Kabelzugübungen. Was leider ebenfalls zu kurz kommt, sind Übungen für die Bauchmuskulatur. Hier bitte nachbessern. Auf Nachrichten wird sehr schnell reagiert. Für das Fachgespräch habe ich innerhalb von 24 Stunden einen Termin bekommen. Ich werde auf jeden Fall weitere Kurse machen. Alles in allem kann ich den Kurs sehr empfehlen.
