What is training? • Stimulus and adaptation • “the aim of a training program is to increase protein synthesis in accordance with the specific demands of the training stimulus.” • (2007) Stone, Stone, Sands. Practice and Principles of Resistance Training.
Periodization • What is it? • Specifically planned system of exercise stimuli and recovery executed over time to summate into a predetermined set of physical adaptations.
Training Cycles • Quadrinneal (Olympic) Cycle • 4 years • Macrocycle • 1-2 years • Mesocycle • 1-4 months • Microcycle • 1-2 weeks
Labeling Training Periods • In-season or Competitive • Off-season or Preparatory • Post-Season or Transition • Peaking (most team sports will not need a specific peak)
Types of Periodization • Linear Methods • Long • Short • Refer primarily to volume and intensity • Non-linear methods • Undulating • Refer primarily to volume and internsity • Multilateral Methods • Concurrent • Block • Conjugate
Linear Periodization • Has a general progression from high volume/low intensity to low volume high intensity • What is the problem?
Multilateral Periodization • Concurrent: • Focusing on multiple qualities in one micro/mesocycle • Can all be in the same session • Can be in different sessions • May have an emphasis in one direction • Emphasize 1-2 qualities at a time
Multilateral Periodization • Conjugate Sequence System • Develop/Emphasize one ability while maintaining others • Sequence these in a series of cycles that will build upon each other for optimal effect
Key Concepts • Delayed Transformation • Delayed Transmutation • Training Residuals • Superposition • Some training methods that produce beneficial adaptation for one motor ability may be detrimental to another
How do we know what to do? • Identify the most important physical qualities for a sport or individual. • Develop a program to maximize those qualities at the right time. • It should also be a goal to sustain those particular abilities for as long as possible.
Complementary Training • In a nutshell: • Volume and Intensity do not mix well together
