The concept: allows to structure the training process in order to stimulate specific physiological and performance outcomes at appropriate times. Removed linearity in training process: maximizing specific physiological and performance adaptions with, optimizing the athlete"s level of performance at predetermined time points, reducing the athlete"s overtraining potential, developing the athlete over the long term structured training interventions. Should never be excessive or randomly applied, but carefully crafted. Hierarchy of periodized training models: quadrennial training plans, long term plans 4 years in length, olympic, college, high school, once the number of competitive periods is established, the annual training plan can be broken into marcocycles. Represents an entire season: preparation, transitions, competition. In the u. s. this means pre, in, off season. Contains: sequenced and interlinked mesocycles that target the specific goals, objective set forth by the annual training plan. Mesocycles: 2-6 weeks, standard- 4-week duration, training blocks. Microcycles: 2 days to 2 weeks, small- sized training cycle.
