Description

Today, I wanted to start a new mini-series of shorter episodes that will focus on a single element or topic question that I’ll discuss for 10-15 mins. These episodes will help to paint a broader picture and understanding of some of the fundamentals of Strength & Conditioning, Sports science and application to different sports or disciplines.

In this episode, I will be looking at programming. More specifically, long term or yearly programming with a whole macrocycle focus. 

I discuss:

• What is periodisation?
  • What is a macrocycle?
• Training phases
  • Accumulation
  • Intensification
  • Peaking
  • Transition or deloads
• How do we make a long term program?
  • Application and outcome
  • Fill in the blanks
  • Level of detail
• Is long term programming necessary?
  • Gen pop VS Performance?
  • Competitive season VS singular event athletes?

Practical examples:

• Rowing
  • Leading into races.
  • Different length races
• Rugby
  • Off-season
  • Pre-season
  • In-season
• Olympic weightlifting
  • Training into competitions
  • Peaking times per year
• Running
  • Put in the miles to put in the miles
  • Physical qualities across the year
    • Aerobic capacity vs Speed
• Gen pop
  • Is periodisation necessary?
  • Accumulation/Intensification indefinitely
  • No peaking?
