Periodization Training

Periodization training is the systematic manipulation of the acute variables of training over a period that may range from days to years. In other words, using a perodization training program helps an athlete peak at the proper time. Periodization programs are designed to make sure the athlete is in the best shape possible for their competition so that they could maximize their potential.  I’ve been around Olympic Sprinters who use it to peak for this summers 2012 London Olympics, friends who’ve used it to peak for Spring Break, and football players who have used it to be in the best shape possible when the season kicks off.
