84
Q

periodization

A
  • a systematic approach to program design that uses the general adaptation syndrome and principle of specificity to vary the amount and type of stress placed on the body to produce adaptation and prevent injury
  • the scientific basis that allows fitness professionals to strategically plan and design programs without the risk of placing improper stresses on the body
85
Q

true or false: periodization varies the focus of a training program at regularly planned periods of time to produce optimal adaptation

A

TRUE

86
Q

2 primary objectives of periodization

A
  1. dividing the training program into distinct periods (or phases) of training
  2. training different forms of strength in each period (or phase) to control the volume of training and to prevent injury
87
Q

what does undulating periodization allow for?

A

-allows the client to train at varying intensities during the course of a week, which allows for multiple adaptations once a level of fitness has been achieved

91
Q

what does a monthly plan show?

A

A

TRUE

97
Q

what is the result of intentionally cycling through different periods of training?

A

the acute variables are manipulated to adjust to volume of training

98
Q

by controlling the volume of training as a function of time in any given program, periodization allows for…

A

maximal levels of adaptation while minimizing overtraining, while minimizing overtraining, which is a primary benefit of periodization, because overtraining will lead to fatigue and eventual injury
