Document Summary

*weak performance either not enough taper time or too much taper time before peak. Peaking athlete"s performance usually accomplished by reducing training load for pre-determined. Time prior to major competition = optimize performance. Intensity/duration per session/frequency per session or week/type of training. Tapering = one of most critical phases of athlete"s preparatio(cid:374) for co(cid:373)petitio(cid:374) *lift off some fatigue in taper so preparedness can even if fitness so need to capture. Progressive non-linear reduction of training load during variable period of time, In attempt to reduce physiological & psychological stress of daily training + Premise of a taper = relationship between fitness & fatigue. Factors affecting a taper: training intensity = *depends on pre-taper training load fatigue = lower training volume but needs to be short in time. Literature show 41%- 60% reduction in training volume. During taper = results in optimal performance improvements: training frequency = That last between 1-4 wks with 8-14 days being.
