| What is periodization? | planning training to maximise performance in relation to a series of goals. |
| What are the aims of periodization? 3 things.. | 1. to stop plateau effect 2.manipulate training methods 3.to progress to our max at the right times. |
| effects of not using periodization... | 1.VO2 max cannot be greatly improved. 2. will not perform at peak 3.improvment of lactate threshold is limited. |
| What are the three periodization cycles? | Micro Macro Meso |
| What is a macrocycle? What is it made up of? | 1. the overall goal to achieve 2.a group of mesocycles help towards the goal. |
| how long are mesocycles and What do they contain? | Training sessions with the goals which contribute to completing the macrocycle that last a few weeks |
| how long are microcycles are what do they used for? | 5-10 days training plans to cover a week with patterns of how to train, arms then legs alternately .. |
| Explain Tapering | Reducing the training load before competition to improve performance. |
| Give 3 symptoms of overtraining.. | 1.Loss of appetite 2.supressed immune system 3.deep muscle soreness |
| Give one style of periodisation | 'Wave like' periodisation |
| explain 'wave like' periodization and 1 benefit of it. | athlete begins with high levels of exercise volume and finish with high intensity. 2.helps avoid overtraining or 3.peak at time of high intensity not volume. |
