    Dr. Bompa's theories, especially the theories of planning-periodization (periodization of strength, power, speed and endurance; periodization of fitness, bodybuilding, psychological periodization; and periodization of nutrition), have revolutionized the training of athletes in most countries of the world.

     Dr. Bompa has published 15 books (all best sellers) translated into 18 languages. Most of these books are used as textbooks in universities, coaching institutions, sports and fitness certification programs and continuing education courses over 180 countries. He has also published over a hundred research papers while and made presentations in over 40 countries on topics such as training theory, planning-periodization, training methods, strength and power training, specifics of training for team sports and more.

He is the only coach who has produced Olympic and World champions in two different sports – track and field and rowing. He has also acted as consultant to professional teams and individual athletes regarding their training programs, resulting in their highest athletic achievements.

In recognition of his contributions to the body of knowledge in training, fitness, and coaches’ education, Dr. Bompa has received 23 honors and awards, 20 of them internationally.
