Sports Performance

OUR PERFORMANCE AREA SEEKS TO IMPROVE ATHLETES’ PHYSICAL PREPARATION THROUGH A SYSTEMIC AND INTEGRATIVE APPROACH.

A distinctive way of understanding the game naturally brings with it a distinctive way of approaching and managing training loads.


Based on structured training methodology, developed under the wing of FC Barcelona over years, the performance area has the fundamental goal of improving our athletes’ physical preparation through a systemic and integrative approach.


Theories of complex dynamic systems have arisen as a new way of seeing the game and sport, fostering an understanding of the hierarchical organization of living systems and the dynamic interaction which leads them to self-regulate.

RELATED NOTES

Playing while being older

It has become common to find players over thirty years old who are still active in professional competitions.

How does the physical and technical-tactical performance of football players evolve throughout their sports career?

Top-level athletes are getting older and older. Technology, materials, nutrition, preparation, injury prevention, financial investment, scientific knowledge, and the excellent level of coaches are some of the factors that have lengthened players’ careers.

The Importance of Speed Execution in Strength Training

Strength training is a fundamental pillar for both injury prevention and performance enhancement in virtually all sports.

The Importance of Neural Factors in Strength Performance

The capacity to exercise strength in a short period of time, known as the rate of strength development, is one of the main performance indicators in explosive actions.

Structured training in basketball

Since its creation, the Fútbol Club Barcelona (FCB) Performance Area has developed a work methodology in which the athlete as a human being is the cornerstone to optimise performance in their sport.

The role of hypoxia in strength training

Hypoxia (whether normobaric or hypobaric) results in a series of responses such as greater metabolic stress, stronger hormonal response, and greater fast fibre recruitment, which could maximise the adaptations to resistance training.
