PRINCIPLES OF PERIODIZATION

Introduction

Strength and conditioning program Improves performance however, cannot

continue indefinitely Eventually, physical and physiological

adaptations will occur less frequently Athletic performance plateaus There is an increased risk for injury Other symptoms associated with

overtraining appear.

Inroduction

For long term performance improvements… There must be variations in training

specificity, intensity and volume. There must be arranged and planned

periods or cycles.

Periodization

Proposed by Leo Matveyev (Russian Physiologist, 1960)

Special Application to training strength and power athletes (American exercise scientist)

A training plan which changes your workouts at regular intervals of time

Periodization

Involves manipulation of training variables: Intensity Volume Rest Mode

Benefits

ALLOWS FOR PLANNED VARIATION, WHILE MAINTAINING A COHERENT STRUCTURE

INCREASES RECOVERY AND RECUPERATION POTENTIAL

GIVES A CLEAR AND SPECIFIC OUTLINE OF

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING EVERY TRAINING DAY

ALLOWS YOU MEASURABLE PROGRESS COMBINES DIFFERENT GOALS

KEEPS YOU PSYCHOLOGICALLY FRESH

Responses to Training Stress

This is the manner of how the human body reacts to stress.

Three stage response to stress: Alarm Phase Resistance phase Exhaustion phase

Alarm Phase

Also called as shock phase Happens when the body experiences

new forms of stress This may last several days or weeks

(DOMS) The athlete may feel excessive

stiffness, soreness, and a drop in performance

Resistance Phase

Athletes rely on neurological adaptations because of continuous training.

Muscles make various biochemical, structural, and mechanical adjustments.

There is an increase in performance which is also called as “supercompensation.”

Exhaustion Phase

Symptoms experienced during the alarm phase reappear.

There is a loss of ability to adapt to stressors.

This results to maladaptations, monotony, and overtraining.

This can also be caused by non training stress.

Periodization Cycles

Macrocycle Typically constitutes an entire training

year and can last from several months to years

Mesocycle Used to describe major training phases

of an entire year. from 4-6 weeks to 2-3 months

Microcycle Refers to one week of training

Periodization Periods

Implementation of meso- and microcycles is the basis for changing program design varialbes

Intensity and volume assignments are manipulated to the greatest extent

Involves shifting training priorities from non sports-specific to sports specific


Major divisions of training Preparatory Competition Transition

First Transition – between preparatory and competition phase

Second Transition – active rest/recovery period

Model of Periodization

Modified Model of Periodization


Preparatory phase has three phases namely: Hypertrophy/Endurance Phase Basic Strength Phase Strength/Power Phase

Preparatory Period: Hypertrophy/Endurance Phase

May last from 1 to 6 weeks Low intensity with very high volume Goals are to increase lean body mass

and build a base level of endurance Training may not be sport specific

Preparatory Period: Basic Strength Phase

Goal is to increase muscle strength necessary for sport specific movements

Intensity is high and volume is moderate

Preparatory Period: Strength/Power Phase

high intensity with low volume Training intensifies to near competitive phase,

plyometric drills mimic the movement of the sport, etc.

First Transition

To denote the break between high volume training and high intensity training

Competition

Goal: Peak strength and power through further increases in training intensity with decreases in volume/maintenance

Focuses more on skill practice and game strategy

May last from 1 to 3 weeks up to months

Second Transiti0n

Active rest or restoration (recovery) Usually lasts for 1 to 4 weeks Focuses on unstructured, non sports-

specific activities Combines low intensities with low

volumes Also referred to as the “unloading

week”

Types of Training

GENERAL TRAINING: TO DEVELOP ALL-AROUND FITNESS. SHOULD MOSTLY BE DONE IN THE OFF-SEASON & EARLY PRE-SEASON ACTIVE RECOVERY STRENGTH MOBILITY ENDURANCE BASIC TECHNIQUE

Types of Training

SPORT-SPECIFIC TRAINING: REFERS TO BOTH CONDITIONING & SKILL WORK. LATE OFF-SEASON, PRE-SEASON & IN-SEASON SPECIFIC FITNESS ADVANCED SKILLS

COMPETITION-SPECIFIC TRAINING: SCRIMMAGES & MOCK COMPETITIONS ADJUSTMENT OF TECHNICAL MODEL

Applying Sport Seasons to the Periodization Periods

Non Linear vs. Linear Periodization Models

Linear Traditional resistance training

Non Linear fluctuations in the load and volume

assignments for core exercise Research studies found this model to be

more effective than the linear model

Types of Periodization

Bi-cycle: It incorporates two peaks in a year and consist of

two monocycles in a single year with a short transition phase between them.

To achieve the required adaptations, competitions have to be more than 4 months apart.

Levels of performance might be lower in one cycle, so the most important competition of the calendar should take place in the other.

Types of Periodization

Tri-cycle: 3 competitions in a year. An unloading phase is required following each

peak for the athlete to regenerate for the following cycle.

Models with more than three peaks within a year do not allow the athlete to adapt properly.
