Abstract

Background

This study focuses on improving the competence of decentralized Pelatda coaches through a workshop on training program development and periodization in preparation for Poprov 2026. Coaches play a crucial role in optimizing athlete performance, as effective training programs and well-structured periodization can significantly enhance athletic outcomes while minimizing injury risks. However, many coaches lack a deep understanding of these essential concepts and often rely on intuitive approaches rather than evidence-based methods.

Objectives

The workshop aims to bridge this knowledge gap by providing science-based tools and strategies to help coaches design training programs tailored to individual athlete needs, with a focus on periodization and load management.

Methods

Prior to the workshop, many Pelatda Selaparang Smart coaches demonstrated significant knowledge gaps in training program design, leading to ineffective periodization practices. The workshop addressed these gaps through interactive sessions, discussions, and practical exercises, enabling coaches to gain a deeper understanding of key training concepts.

Results

Post-workshop assessments showed significant improvements in coaches' understanding, with a notable shift in score distribution, highlighting the effectiveness of the workshop in enhancing knowledge and application of training principles.

Conclusion

This study underscores the importance of structured educational interventions in improving coaching practices, which directly impacts athlete performance and the overall success of the program. The workshop serves as a model for future professional development programs, emphasizing the need for continuous education and tailored training resources to ensure long-term success in competitive environments like Poprov 2026.
