Periodisation is the division of the year into smaller, easier to manage blocks of time. Instead of looking at the year as a whole, it is broken down into phases, macrocycles, mesocycles and microcycles.

Mesocycles are smaller blocks of time which together form a macrocycle. Each mesocycle has a specific goal or objective. Mesocycles are between 4 – 12 weeks long.

A microcycle is a smaller unit of time normally between 3 – 10 days long Several microcycles form a mesocycle.

The annual training programme can be broken down into 4 phases – preparation, competition, evaluation and transition. These 4 phases are then broken down into macrocycles.

•“Peaking” is the term used to describe a temporary training state which allows the athlete to perform at their optimal level . Peaking at key times is a result of a well thought out annual plan.

•Players who have peaked are said to be in the “Ideal Performance State (IPS)” or in “The Zone” which includes being at their optimal readiness to perform from a psychological, physiological, technical and tactical perspective.

Overtraining occurs when an athlete has been repeatedly stressed by training to the point where the rest periods between sessions are no longer adequate for recovery to occur.

Overtraining frequently occurs in athletes who are training for competition or a specific event and train beyond the body's ability to recover in the time available. It is an imbalance between work and rest.

Overtraining is also common in young sportsmen / sportswomen who are training with several teams at once eg school, club, district, state. Outstanding Geelong

footballer, Nathan Ablett, (pictured left), was forced to walk away from AFL after he revealed he was suffering from “burnout.”

He no longer enjoyed the game.

Michael Phelps was a role model to millions of young swimmers until he got photographed using drugs.

Discuss;

1. Phelps as a role model before drugs

2. Phelps as a role model after drugs

3. What negative re – enforcements did he get about his behaviour?

Role models can have a negative influence by;

•Demonstrating poor sportsmanship / cheating•Being involved in unacceptable off field behaviour – drugs, alcohol etc.•Being aggressive beyond the scope of the rules of the game.•Having no respect for teammates, officials and opponents•Exhibit sexist, racist, or other offensive characteristics.

How the senior players / elite players behave can have a positive influence if they;

•Demonstrate high standards of fair play and sportsmanship•Maintain a clean image on and off the field•Respect the game officials, teammates and opponents.•Accept individual differences within the team•Have a high work ethic

An observer / junior player who witnesses these behaviours being positively reinforced is likely to copy them and demonstrate them in the future.

The Transtheoretical Model of Change is a 5 step cyclical process that an individual goes through as part of changing their behaviour.

Stage 5Maintenance

The stage where the new behavior pattern is sustained for an

extended period of time (more than 6 months) and is now consolidated into the lifestyle of the individual. This

maintenance period lasts up to 5 years at which point the individual is

regarded as having made a lifetime commitment to regular

exercise.

• 2 main measures used to gauge when, and the degree to which, behaviour has changed;

1. Decisional balance• Initially, the cons (reasons not to change eg too hard, not enough time,

cannot be bothered) are more significant / important than the pros (benefits of change – eg fitness). As you move through the stages, this imbalance reverses as change occurs.

Determining When Change Occurs

Cons outweigh pros – no real change occurs.Cons outweigh pros – no real change occurs. Pros / Cons about equal –

some change occurs.Pros / Cons about equal – some change occurs.

Pros outweigh cons – significant change occurs.

TRANSITION FROM ELITE SPORT TO RETIREMENTTRANSITION FROM ELITE SPORT TO RETIREMENT

Many of the skills learnt during the course of their careers are transferable and can assist in getting them involved in a new career which utilises these skills eg commentators, umpires, coaching.
