The Elitefts™ Sports Performance Coach Education Series is a comprehensive educational resource for coaches in the collegiate, high school, professional, and private settings. This series will take a fundamental approach to various topics that will enable coaches the additional skills to enhance their coaching abilities, improve marketability in the industry, and drastically increase the impact they have upon their athletes.

Auto-Regulatory Training has been around for decades. Siff and Verkoshansky have written about the DAPRE in Supertraining, Bryan Mann has an outstanding eBook on APRE, and I have listened to Dave Tate talk about Cybernetic Periodization as far back as the late 90s.

This presentation simply gives a template of how we have used an auto-regulation system in a team setting. This athlete-governed system has many benefits and several areas to be concerned with as a coach. Limited resources, short training cycles, and reduced exposure to training have all contributed for the need to incorporate an auto-regulatory training system in a team setting. This system allows coaches to maximize training time and optimize the training effect for athletes.

We will review the advantages, disadvantages, and detail two distinct auto-regulatory parameters of implementing this system. These training systems are by no means the only was to auto-regulate training. They are simply the most effective means through anecdotal evidence which took over 15 years to solidify.
Presentation Outline

Background

Autoregulatory Progressive Resistance Exercise
Supertraining – DAPRE
Bryan Mann – APRE
Not Undulating Periodization
Athlete Governed Adjustments within System
Why Auto-Regulation?

Optimized Training for large array of athletes
Adjust Load or volume by athlete readiness
Enforces urgency & importance of each rep
Promotion of Competitiveness
Optimal for Shorter Training Cycles
Adjust Volume by Rep Performance

More Common in a Linear Progression
Adjust Subsequent Reps by Performance on Max (Target) Set
Two-Rep Drop-off System
Adjust Volume by Rep Performance

Areas of Concern with Auto-Regulation

Volume by Load

Variation in volume can have various training effect on athletes
Variation in volume can skew analysis of training program
Volume can be magnified throughout a linear progression
Load by Rep Performance

Variation in loads can vary training effect on athletes
Variation in load can skwe analysis of training program
Increase in load (intensity) can be magnified throughout a linear progression
