Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2025 2:35 pm
Two prominent periodization models offer different advantages.
Traditional Periodization:
Traditional Periodization:
- Gradual increase in intensity with decreasing volume towards competition.
- Focuses on developing one main quality at a time.
- Short, highly concentrated blocks focusing on 1-2 specific qualities (e.g., strength block, speed block).
- Allows for greater training loads within a block.
- Often used for multi-peak seasons.
