Indicate the meaning of 'periodization' and mention the three main periods.
We use the term ``periodization'' in coaching to describe the division of a training programme into several
periods. Each period has a specific training objective. Most important aspect is to have the athlete fully
prepared and in a physical and mental state to perform at a level never previously achieved. Achieving optimum
performance at the right place and time is called ``peaking''. Planning for the year or season is done backwards.
You and the athlete must decide what, where and when major competitions will take place. Thereafter the start
of the training year should be decided. Training plans should be simple and flexible as the plan may be
modified according to the athlete's progress and improvements.
Three main periods
Preparation period: Concentrate on general all−round fitness rather than on specific training. Introduce new
skills, techniques and modify existing techniques. Concentrate on volume.
Competition: Volume is reduced − intensity increased. Training more related to competition. Keep level of
fitness.
Transition (active rest): Recovery after competition and encourages interest and general fitness through a
variety of activities.
