Periodization of Training
Overview
• Background for periodization
• Where periodization has been
• How to apply periodization
• Science and periodization
• Where periodization seems to be going
Background for Periodization
• What is it?
• What’s it for?
• What isn’t it for?
• Pro’s and con’s
What is Periodization?
• Freeman (1994): “…an attempt to make training more objectively measurable and thus more accurately planned.”
• Broad strokes of modern training theory were developed in the 1930’s and 1940’s (Pedemonte, 1986).
Why Periodize Training?
• Objectives of periodization (Dick, F., 1975):– Achieve optimal performance– Prepare for a climax to the competitive season– Prepare for the main competition
Objectives of Training (Bompa, Popov)
• Attain and augment multilateral physical development
• Secure and improve specific physical development• Feature and perfect technique of the sport• Improve and perfect strategy• Cultivate volitional qualities• Ensure and secure optimal preparation
Objectives of Training, cont.
• Constant increase in training burden• Fortify each athlete’s state of health• Prevent injuries• Enrich each athlete’s theoretical knowledge
regarding the physiological and psychological basis of training, planning, nutrition, and regeneration
Supercompensation
• A.k.a. One-Factor Training Theory
• Workout Depletion Restoration
• Supercompensation
• Have seen this with glycogen stores following exercise
Supercompensation
Supercompensation; Putting it into practice
• First, intervals are too short
• Second, intervals are optimal
• Third, intervals are too long
Supercompensation, putting it into practice, cont.
Supercompensation
• This idea is why most workout programs are done in steps (usually 2-4 steps up followed by 1 rest step).
What’s Periodization For?
• It’s a way to organize training over months and years that is meant to optimize performance while preventing injures, overtraining, etc.
• It is a procedure that is leading to something.
• It is a procedure that allows one to check and see if the training plan was effective.
What Isn’t Periodization For?
• It doesn’t work well as a 4-8 week training plan.
• Poor tool for most personal training situations.
Pro’s and Con’s
• Pro’s:
– Allows one to plan for constant improvement
– Allows one to plan for an athlete to be at their best when it matters
– Prevents injuries
• Con’s:
– Very time-consuming
– The plans are great until they meet the athlete
– Easy to fall into the cookie-cutter mentality
– Plan is not a substitute for training
Periodization: Where it’s been
• Matveyev
• Bompa
• Harre, Kurz, Nadori, and others
• Stone
Matveyev
• Fundamentals of Sports Training. 1981.
• Observed training of Soviet Olympic athletes for 1952 & 1956 Olympics and formalized the training process.
Types of Exercise
• Competitive: Exercises containing integral actions; competitive actions proper and the training forms of the competition exercises
• Special Preparation: Exercises that include elements or qualities of the competition exercises
• General Preparation: Exercises that develop all physical qualities, develops the foundation for future training.
Basis of Matveyev’s Approach
• Training theories based upon the idea of supercompensation (discussed earlier)
Organization of Training
• Microcycles: training sessions that make up a complete, recurrent fragment
• Mesocycles: aggregate of several microcycles of one type
• Macrocycles: includes 3 periods:– Preparation– Competition– Transitional
Types of Microcycles
• Ordinary Training
• Shock Training
• Introductory Training (aka pre-comp)
• Competitive (competition and lead-up)
• Rehabilitative
Microcycle Volume and Load
• Volume and Load Guidelines:– Microcycles usually characterized by constant
intenstiy– Inverse relationship between volume and load

Mesocycles
• Allow one to realize the sum effect of microcycles.
• Most common microcycle organization:– Ordinary - Ordinary - Shock - Rehab
Types of Mesocycles
• Involving: 1st phase of preparation period– 2 to 3 ordinary microcycles + a rehab
microcycle– low intensity and high volume– biggest share of general prep exercises

• Other types:– Pre-Comp Mesocycle– Competitive– Rehab
Macrocycles
• Generally include three periods and are designed around a peak.
• Some years have a single peak, some two (double periodization), some more.
• Organized into periods:– Prepatory– Competitive– Transitional
Periods
• Prepatory: Developing all the qualities needed for success. The bulk of the training year.
• Competition: Preparing for competition and competing, the peak.
• Transition: Rest and recovery after comp.
Macrocycles
• Are generally put together so that intensity is increasing over time while volume decreases.
• Competition period sees the greatest intensity and lowest volume.
Macrocycles, Single Peak, Lengths of Periods
• Prep period: 5-7 months
• Comp period: 4-5 months
• Transition: 3-6 weeks
• Plan competitions around training!
Prepatory Period
• 5-7 months
• Variants (types of mesocycles):– Involving - Base - Base (with precomp)– Involving - Base (GPP) - Base (SPP) -

Annual Plan, Sample (from Nadori)
Matveyev, Conclusion
• Where everything came from• Book is a general physical education textbook• Little advice on how to apply the concepts• Arbitrary rules and principles• May or may not apply to us• Little scientific basis• More shortcomings later!
Applying Periodization
Steps for Applying Periodization
• Constructing an annual plan
• Constructing periods and phases
• Constructing mesocycles
• Constructing microcycles
• Examples of applying periodization
Constructing the Annual Plan
• When are the competitions?– Will there be more than one peak?
• Will there be more than one macrocycle?
– How long will the competitive season be?
• How long will post-competition be?
• Remainder of time is prep
Examples
• College Football
• College Track & Field
When are the Competitions?
• College Football:– Games on Saturdays (mostly)– September - November– 12 weeks of games– One peak per year (Sep-Nov)
Football: Dividing the Year
• One peak, monocycle• 12 weeks of games• Add 4 weeks to comp
period for August practice
• Comp period: 16 weeks
• Transition period: 5 weeks after last game (through 1st week of Jan)
• Prep period: 2nd week of Jan - August (~29 weeks)
Football: Monocycle
Period: Prepatory Period Competitive Period Trans

Periods and Phases
• Once the timeline for the periods and phases have been laid out, make some general decisions about what training qualities will be emphasized in each.

Periods & Phases
• Qualities with a “high” emphasis will see the most training sessions, or the most intense training, etc.
• Once you’ve determine the content, draw up very rough guides about the types of exercises, # of sessions/week, volume, and intensity for each period and phase - keep it general though!

More Detailed Planning
• Once this has been done, determine how many 2-6 week mesocycles will be in each phase.
• Plan the first mesocycle in detail and the phase in principle.
• As you progress 1/2 way through the first mesocycle, plan the second in detail, etc.
• As you progress 1/2 way through the phase, plan the next phase in principle.
Example, Football
• General Prep: 16 weeks (4 mesocycles)
• Special Prep: 12 weeks (3 mesocycles)
• Pre-Comp: 4 weeks (1 mesocycle)
• Comp: 12 weeks (3 mesocycles)
• Transition: 4 weeks (1 mesocycle)
General Prep, Planning in Principle
• Mesocycle 1: Get back in shape, welcome back to training; lower volume (4x/week) and intensity(~65%), lots of exercise variety
• Mesocycle 2: Higher volume (8-15 reps/set), more weight training sessions (5x/week)
• Mesocycle 3: Maintain volume, increase intensity (~70%)
• Mesocycle 4: Maintain volume, increase intensity (~75-80%), cycle in special prep exercises
