OPT Model Flashcards
Phase 1
Stabilization Endurance
Phase 2
Strength Endurance
Phase 3
Muscular Development
Phase 4
Maximal Strength
Phase 5
Power
Proper Movement Patterns
Squat, Push, Pull, Hip Hinge, Press, & Multiplanar Movements
Periodization
Training plan aimed at reaching best possible performance for specific timeframe or event achieved by changing exercise variables when appropriate
Linear Periodization
Increasing the intensity of the training load while decreasing volume over a set period of time (as weight goes up reps go down) OPT model is this
Undulating Periodization
Uses changes in volume, intensity, & exercise selection to provide loading differences on a daily or weekly basis
Stabilization Level
Phase 1
Strength Level
Phase 2, Phase 3, & Phase 4
Power Level
Phase 5
This phase focuses on movement patterns, exercise techniques, muscle imbalances, range of motion, & core/joint stability
Phase 1
The goal of this phase is to enhance stabilization endurance while increasing prime mover strength
Phase 2
This phase is designed for those with goal of maximal muscle growth, & body fat loss while maintaining lean muscle mass
Phase 3
