How to Create periodization Plan Workshop

Description

Periodization is the systematic variation of training variables with the purpose of achieving peak performance at a pre-determined date. Many books have been written on the topic of periodization and various models (linear, non-linear, undulating, conjugated and block) have been suggested. The body of literature on periodization, however, is characterized by disagreements in terminology, bias towards certain types of sports (long vs. short competitive season), theoretical tables that are difficult to interpret into practice.

In this workshop you will learn a completely flexible model of planning a long-term training cycle (16-20 weeks) that makes use of the fundamental and effective principles by which the body works.

The following Topics will be discussed:
