This Expert Program provides comprehensive training in the methodological and technological possibilities applied to strength training, with a focus on the specific developmental needs of the football player. Its structure enables participants to design, program, and implement strength-training tasks within a coordinative framework that enhances direct transfer to game-specific skills, thereby giving the training process a distinctly functional character.

Strength is one of the most decisive physical capacities for sports performance. Every successful game action depends largely on the athlete’s ability to apply the appropriate quantity and quality of force within a dynamic, emergent, and highly variable environment. Likewise, complex speed—present in all high-intensity actions—plays a key role in the development of abilities such as change of direction and opposition scenarios, both of which are crucial for competitive performance. For this reason, strength training must be approached from a perspective that coherently integrates these specific football demands.

There are multiple methodologies and technologies available for strength training, which can be strategically selected depending on the type and manifestation of strength to be developed, as well as the level of task specificity. Adopting a broad and up-to-date perspective, the program places particular emphasis on the use of inertial technology, which has been shown to deliver superior results compared to other methods in terms of eccentric overload development and maximal power optimization. Furthermore, the use of this technology facilitates force application along horizontal vectors, leading to more efficient improvements in speed, agility, and change of direction capacity—all of which are essential components of performance in modern football.
