Training When There isn’t a Training session
Envisioning our performance in any physical practice has shown to be a great complement to improve our sports performance.

Training load control (TL) has become a cornerstone on which to optimise performance and avoid the risk of injury.
Strength training programs have a variety of goals, although the two main ones for most athletes are to increase strength or muscle mass.
Overtime, the competitive distance among elite football teams has shortened, so the focus is currently on those aspects that can tip the scale to one side or the other.
Glycogen plays a key role in sports performance. During exercise, especially when performed at high intensity, the glycolytic metabolism takes on a special relevance.
Children need physical activity every day. Exercise leads to improved physical and emotional health.
Athletes must ask themselves what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat. They must adjust to the day they train more or less, or to whether they are in preseason, in full competition or out of season.
It is important to assure a correct recovery between training sessions and even between the different exercises of the same session to maximize adaptations to training.
The Mexico 1968 Olympic Games represented a turning point in altitude training. Due to the dominance of athletes acclimatised to the altitude during the Games (they were held at an altitude of 2,340 m),1 in the 1970s, the implications of training or living in hypoxic conditions to improve performance started to be studied.
In 2008, neuroscientist John-Dylan Haynes conducted a set of experiments at the Bernstein Centre for Computational Neuroscience (Berlin) with the goal to learn more about the mechanisms of free will in human beings.
