Microdosing: Refining in - Season Training Methods for Field Players

Fateev Ivan

Abstract: In - season training presents challenges for field players in various sports, with limited time for recovery and adaptation. To optimize performance and reduce the risk of overtraining, innovative methods are needed. Microdosing, derived from pharmacology, involves administering low - volume, high - impact training sessions strategically to induce targeted adaptations. This article explores the theoretical frameworks supporting microdosing, including hormesis, mitochondrial biogenesis, neural adaptations, and overtraining prevention. The programming strategy involves dividing training volume into more frequent and shorter sessions. Microdosing can sustain or enhance physical qualities during intense competition periods. Practical application involves adjusting variables like session length, frequency, and loading. Adhering to principles like optimal timing for speed work, technical considerations, and individualization is essential. Embracing the concept of doing less and recognizing broader training advantages contributes to sustained progress. Microdosing offers a valuable tool for strength and conditioning coaches to enhance athletes' speed, strength, and resilience within the constraints of in - season training.
