Q

What is the goal of periodization?

A

Ensure peak performance at optimal times whilst reducing the risk of over-training potential

29
Q

What are the three key components of periodization?

A

Macrocycle Mesocycle Microcycle

30
Q

How long does a macrocycle last?

A

Several months or years

31
Q

How long does a mesocycle last?

A

2-6 weeks

32
Q

How long does a microcycle last?

A

4-10 days

33
Q

What happens in a microcycle?

A

2-3 repeated training units of similar objective and content

34
Q

During the microcycle what do athletes need to avoid fatigue?

A

Regeneration units

35
Q

What does the first part of a mesocycle emphasise?

A

Maximal intensity work related to strength, endurance and/or power

36
Q

What is the purpose of the second part of the mesocycle?

A

Reversed to taper

37
Q

What should the ratio of high to low intense microcycles be in a mesocycle?

A

1:1 or 2:1 High:Low

38
Q

How many mesocycles are in a marcocycle?

A

2 or 3

39
Q

What are the three stages of a macrocycle?

A

Preparation Competitive Transotion

40
Q

What happens if a mesocycle is longer than 8 weeks?

A

The athlete may lose motivation

41
Q

What is the longest phase of the macrocycle?

A

The preparatory phase

42
Q

What is the shortest phase of the macrocycle?

A

Competitive phase

43
Q

What does linear peridoization simply change?

A

Volume and intensity

44
Q

What are the characteristics of linear periodization?

A

Long training periods Less reliance on supercompensation More general training over specific

45
Q

What must the first period of a meacrocycle be?

A

Fundamental preparation

46
Q

Why is the fundamental preparation period important?

A

To develop the necessary pre-requisites for top performance by improving the level of functional capacities of the organism

47
Q

How the the preparation period divided?

A

General and specific portions

48
Q

What happens in the general preparation phase?

A

High volume training which develops working capacity, general physical preparation and improves technical aspects and basic tactical skills

49
Q

What happens in the specific preparation phase?

A

Lower volume but higher intensity Clear shift from general to specific training

50
Q

What is the purpose of the competition phase of the macrocycle?

A

To peak fitness through further increases in training intensity and decreases in training volume

51
Q

What is the purpose of the pre-competitive phase?

A

Bridge between the sport-specific preparation phase and the actual competition

52
Q

What is the purpose of the competitive phase?

A

To optimise performance at predetermined points in time

53
Q

How long should the taper be before the main competition?

A

8-12 days

54
Q

What happens during the transition phase of macrocycle?

A

Non sport specific recreational activities are performed at low intensities with low volumes

55
Q

What are the main characteristics of the transition period?

A

Reduction in training load Lack of competition Aim is to maintain the acquired fitness levels

56
Q

What are the three types of periodization?

A

Monocycle Bi-cycle Tri-cycle

57
Q

What are the limitations of traditional periodization?

A

Difficult to develop multiple abilities at once Only allows three competitions per year

58
Q

What is undulating periodization?

A

There is no dramatic progressive decrease in volume and increase in intensity across the macrocycle

59
Q

What happens to the intensity in undulating periodization within the weekly and daily programme?

A

Drastic variations of intensity

60
Q

What is block periodization?

A

Highly concentrated specialised work-loads Minimal number of targeted abilities

61
Q

What are the three phases in block periodization?

A

Accumulation Transformation Realisation

62
Q

What happens in the accumulation phase of block periodization?

A

Developing basic abilities (high volume)

63
Q

What happens in the transformation phase of block periodization?

A

Sport specific abilities (techniques, special endurance, tactics)

64
Q

What happens in the realisation phase of block periodization?

A

Restore athletes and prepare them for competition (modelling performance)

65
Q

How long does the accumulation, transformation and realisation phase of block periodization last?

A

6-10 weeks

66
Q

What does residual training effects mean?

A

Retention of changes in the body state and motor abilities after cessation of training beyond certain time period

67
Q

In block periodization what happens to the length of the accumulation and realisation phase when the importance of the competition increases?

A

The accumulation phase decrease and realisation phase increases
