À propos de l?auteur

Tudor O. Bompa, PhD, revolutionized many aspects of Western training methods when he introduced his groundbreaking theory of periodization in Romania in 1963. Dr. Bompa also applied his principle of periodization to the development of strength, speed, agility, and endurance. He has personally trained 11 Olympic medalists (four gold), has served as a training and planning consultant to eight other Olympic and world champions, and as an adviser to coaches and athletes worldwide. Dr. Bompa is professor emeritus at York University, Toronto, where he has taught courses in training theories. His books on periodization and training methods have been translated into 26 languages and used in more than 160 countries for training athletes and educating and certifying coaches. He has been invited to speak in 46 countries and has been awarded certificates of honor and appreciation from national Olympic committees, ministries of education, and sporting organizations of 31 countries. Dr. Bompa has also been awarded with the honorary title of Doctor Honoris Causa by the Polytechnique University of Timisoara, Romania (2017), and NACA, Alvin Roy for Career Achievements (Las Vegas, 2014).
