Question

Define Periodization

Answer 1

Answer:

• Periodization is the process or study of categorizing the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time. This is usually done in order to facilitate the study and analysis of history, understanding current and historical processes, and causality that might have linked those events.

Answer 2

Answer:

Periodisation is the division of a training year (macrocycles) into smaller and more manageable intervals (mesocycles) with the goal of managing and coordinating all aspects of training to bring an athlete to peak performance at the most important competition or managing performance across a long in-season.

Periodisation is one way for the sports physiotherapist to approach the design of resistance training programs. It is the planned manipulation of training variables (load, sets, and repetitions) in order to maximize training adaptations and to prevent the onset of overtraining syndrome

Periodisation is simply a process of dividing the annual training plan into a series of manageable phases (mesocycles).

Each phase can then target a specific or series of attributes to be developed within a designated period of time.

Periods of appropriate overload and recovery are designated within each phase.

For the neuromuscular system to adapt maximally to the training load or stress, volume and intensity alterations are necessary.

Periodisation must be individualised!!
