ERNIE MAGLISCHO

The Methodology for

Balanced Training

Fri. Oct 13th 8AM-4PM

($99 with clinic registration/$149 without)

Spend the day with Ernie Maglischo PhD, Author of “Swimming Faster” & “Swimming Fastest”. Ernie is well known and respected for his scientific research as it applies to the sport of swimming. The basis of the class is training for optimal performance. Through

the study of molecular biology one can explain some of the “mysteries” of training. For example, why do some athletes work harder and swim slower, why do they train for one stroke or distance and improve only in other strokes and distances. Is it best to do land training before or after swim training? Is there a value to what we have, in the past, called garbage yards.

How will training cause athletes to improve their times or become over trained? Ernie will also cover the following:

1. Understanding the proper use of energy zones

2. The periodization of a season

3. What is cycle training & how to apply it to workouts

4. The proper balance of anaerobic & aerobic training
