Detailed explanation-1: -Periodization is defined as the planned manipulation of training variables (load, sets, and repetitions) in order to maximize training adaptations and to prevent the onset of overtraining syndrome.
Detailed explanation-2: -Periodization consists of three types of cycles: A macrocycle refers to your season as a whole. A mesocycle refers to a particular training block within that season; e.g. the endurance phase. A microcycle refers to the smallest unit within a mesocycle; usually a week of training.
Detailed explanation-3: -A macrocycle refers to the overall training period, usually representing a year or two. There are longer cycles as well for the Olympian, being 4 or 8 years, and the career plan which is usually only considered for Olympians and professional athletes.
