periodization training

Periodization training is a structured approach to planning exercise or athletic training in distinct phases or cycles. It involves systematically varying workout intensity, volume, and focus over time to optimize performance and prevent plateaus or injuries. Typically, this includes phases for building a base of general fitness, increasing strength or skill, and tapering for peak performance. By organizing training into these periods, individuals can progressively challenge themselves, recover appropriately, and achieve better results while reducing the risk of overtraining.
