Q

Periodization

A

Form of program design. Micromanagement or planned manipulation of training variables in an organized fashion to improve performance over time.

2 Primary Objectives:

1) Dividing the training program into distinct periods. (Macrocycle, Mesocycle, Microcycle)
2) Training different forms of strength in each period.

Q

Macrocycle

A

Annual (Yearly) Plan

Outlines training schedule, projected fitness evaluation sessions, planned recovery periods.

Typically divided into preparatory (Pre-season), Competitive (In-season), Transition Periods (Off-season)

Q

Linear Periodization

“Linear Load Progression”

A

Traditional program design that aims to increase intensity and decrease volume over time.

Ex: 4 weeks light loads for muscular endurance (60% - 70% of 1 RM), 4 weeks moderate to heavy loads (70%-85% of 1 RM), then 4 weeks of heavy to max loads for muscle hypertrophy (85%-100% of 1 RM).

Q

Undulating (Nonlinear) Periodization

A

Program design that uses changes in volume, intensity, and exercise selection to provide loading differences on a daily or weekly basis.

Mentally beneficial because the workouts do not become boring.
