MODULE 1. Vítor Frade’s Tactical Periodisation®

1.1. What’s the understanding of Tactical Periodisation® in contrast with the rooted conventional?
*Evolutive and chronological synthesis of the training paradigm.
1.2 . Pattern Morphocycle: Simbolic plan
1.3. The problematization of the «being in shape in sports» in top performance considering 3 dilemmas / fundamental (tri)binomials:
*Performance – Fatigue – Recovery.
*Collective – Individual
*Methodology versus Method(s).
1.4. Systemic Analysis of the Game
*The understanding of the game dimensions (tactical, technical, physical, psychological, strategical) under the light of complexity
1.5. Study cases and practical applications.

MODULE 2. Training as an acquisition process, a systemic modelling

2.1. Intentionality in modeling the process as praxiology.
2.2.The Game Idea as Previous Intension.
*Macro, meso e micro game principles. The interactive principles promoted by criterion
2.3. From Previous Intension to Acting Intensions.
2.4. From Acting Intentions to a collective culture (the individual in the collective)
2.5. Study cases and practical applications.

MODULE 3. The Pattern Morphocycle & Methodological Principles

3.1. The fundamentation of the Pattern Morphocycle through integrative physiology
*The game and metabolic implications. What is really relevant to promote during training?
3.2. Parabiosis and exaltation of collective and individual performance.
3.3. Algorithmic pattern: specificities of “Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday”.
3.4. Methodological Principles understood as an “only” principle.
*Methodological Principle of the Propensities.
*Methodological Principle of Horizontal Alternation in (S) specificity.
*Methodological Principle of Complex Progression.
3.5. Practical applications.

MODULE 4. Final Project

4.1 Development of a diary including reflections of all the lectures, doubts, insights, readings and conclusions.
