Specific Preparation Phase

StarStarStarStar

The goal is to begin translating the general conditioning into more sport-specific demands. Methodologies involve introducing moderate-intensity, moderate-volume workouts that mimic the sport more closely.

StarStarStarStar

Mesocycle

StarStarStarStar

The goal is to achieve medium-term objectives within the macrocycle, often lasting several weeks. Each mesocycle targets specific fitness components with corresponding training loads.

StarStarStarStar

General Preparation Phase

StarStarStarStar

The goal is to develop a base level of conditioning to increase the athlete's tolerance for more intense training. Methodologies include low-intensity, high-volume workouts, and general strength exercises.

StarStarStarStar

Microcycle

StarStarStarStar

The goal is short-term performance improvements, typically over a week. The microcycle organizes daily and weekly training sessions to target specific goals within the larger mesocycle.

StarStarStarStar

Pre-Competition Phase

StarStarStarStar

The goal is to increase the intensity of training to prepare for competition. Workouts emulate the specific demands of the sport, focusing on high-intensity, low-volume work.

StarStarStarStar

Tapering Phase

StarStarStarStar

The goal is to reduce training volume prior to major competitions to allow the body to recover and adapt, resulting in peak performance. Methodologies involve a gradual reduction in training load while maintaining intensity.

StarStarStarStar

Competition Phase

StarStarStarStar

The goal is peak performance during competition. Methodologies include maintaining fitness while emphasizing recovery and sharpening sport-specific skills.

StarStarStarStar

Macrocycle

StarStarStarStar

The goal is long-term performance improvements over a training year or season. It usually consists of several mesocycles and aims at peaking for major competitions.

StarStarStarStar

Block Periodization

StarStarStarStar

The goal is focused, intensified training blocks with specific aims such as hypertrophy, strength, or power leading to a peak. Methodologies include concentrating on one or two training modalities for a block of time.

StarStarStarStar

Transition Phase

StarStarStarStar

The goal is to allow the athlete to recover physically and mentally from the competitive season. Methodologies include reducing training load and incorporating rest and recovery strategies.

StarStarStarStar

Linear Periodization

StarStarStarStar

The goal is a gradual progression of intensity with a corresponding decrease in volume over time. Methodologies include progressively adding weight or resistance in a linear fashion while decreasing overall workload.

StarStarStarStar

Non-Linear/Undulating Periodization

StarStarStarStar

The goal is to vary intensity and volume to manage fatigue and improve performance. Methodologies involve changing workouts frequently with varying loads, volumes, and intensities.
