HOLISTIC ANALYSIS OF MODERN STRENGTH TRAINING

The paper analyzes strength training as a complex process of managing adaptation across multiple organic subsystems. In contrast to the traditional view of muscles solely as force producers, the holistic approach treats them as the most important metabolic and endocrine organ. In parallel, the fundamental physiological and kinesiological characteristics of the main strength training systems are examined. The practice of applying strength training immediately after a football match is also analyzed. The central thesis of the paper is the transition from “copying” generic programs to truly “grasping” (understanding) the biochemical and physiological principles of adaptation, supported by the application of modern monitoring systems. Special emphasis is placed on the specifics of training children and adolescents through an analysis of the musculofascial and osteoarticular imbalance that occurs during growth.
