Workout=short rest
Day
Rest:intensity?
Microcycle-1 week
Mesocycle-2-6 weeks
Macrocycle-1 year (prep, comp, transition)
Periodization-the whole process

Planning Workouts



Short, Medium and Long
Short term involves fatigue
Sequencing is important
Upper/lower body alternate
 Heavy resistance requires long rest?
 Superposed is stacking
 Each micro or meso has a specific goal
 Strength, power, hypertrophy, speed, endurance, etc.
 SPECIFICITY of training


Figure 5.2 (superposed)
Workouts and Training Days

Rest-Exercise Alternation
Enough rest to allow increased
volume
 Maybe twice a day
 Long rest with heavy weights?


Sequence
Core and power first
 Large muscle groups first
 Multiple joints first

Intensity Variation




Pyramid – slow ascending and descending
Contrasting – mixing up exercises
Mixed training – heavy resistance as a portion
Circuit training – strength and endurance
Figure 5.3
Microcycles and Mesocycles

Recovery
Sequencing to allow fatigue specificity (rotate muscles)
 Long rest periods of 48-72 hours following heavy
resistance
 Train at least 3 times a week
 Maybe train twice a day
 Decreased frequency may still maintain strength
 Variability - heavy and light days (60% rule)

Medium Term (Periodization)


Goal is to peak at the proper time
Delayed transformation – time to adapt and rest


Delayed transmutation – tapering period




Accumulated fatigue leads to increases later
Both exercises used and load must vary across time
Realization of strength
Training residuals – detraining effects
Superposition – different training affects each
other
Figure 5.4 (positive relationship between
time to achieve it and time to lose it)
Peak
Sustained
Linear Periodization

Training one target after
another
Aerobic, anaerobic, strength
 Sequential training
 Maintenance


For Specific requirement sports
Nonlinear Periodization (pg. 102)




Intensity spans a wide range over the week
Usually heavy, medium and light (undulating)
Power may be used at 30%
For Multiple requirement sports

Variability of stimuli
Delayed transformation
Delayed transmutation
Realization
Training residuals
Proper timing is
essential
Variability



Exercises must be changed
periodically
Change loads as well
Heavy, medium and light
training also
Figure 5.6
Delayed Transformation

Adaptation takes time




Detraining also takes time
Greater training load / greater the time for
transformation
Pre-competition phase is tapering phase
Transmutation = specificity
Residuals

Retaining loads should be high with low volume
and frequency


Maintenance
Amount lifted increases with cycle however
average load is constant due to changes in
volume
