Periodization • Method of maximizing fitness & performance by
structuring training programs into periods or phases and systematically & progressively manipulating training variables over time.
• Allows sufficient recovery & adaptation prior to increases in training load.
• Following a training stress, body adapts & physiologically overcompensates so that when the same stress is reintroduced, it does not cause same degree of physiological disruption. Body adapts to handle the stress & do more work.
• Aim of periodization is to provide training stimuli in such a fashion that higher & higher levels of adaptation are achieved.
Improvements in fitness (strength, endurance, speed, power, etc.) occur during the recovery period between workouts, not during the workout itself.

Research FindingsPeriodized (P) vs. Non-Periodized (NP) Programs: • P results in significantly greater increases in muscular
strength (1 RM) compared to NP
• P results in significantly greater decrease in % body fat compared to NP
(Kraemer et al., 2000; O’Bryant et al., 1988; Stone et al., 1981; Stowers et al., 1983; Willoughby, 1993)
Linear (LP) vs. Reverse Linear (RLP) vs. Non-Linear Undulating (UP) Periodized Programs:• LP increased strength significantly more than did RLP
(Prestes et al., 2009)
• UP more effective at increasing muscular strength than LP (Rhea et al., 2002)
• No significant differences in strength, % body fat, & chest or thigh circumferences between LP, daily, & weekly UP (Buford et al., 2007)
• RLP more effective at increasing muscular endurance than LP & UP (Rhea et al., 2003)
Points to Consider…
• Studies have only compared training interventions with no variation to those with degrees of variation.
• Demonstrating that training programs with variation over short time period have more benefit than those with no variation does not necessarily support periodization; it only supports the benefit of variation, but offers no insight into how that variation is best scheduled and organized.
• There is a large inter-individual response to training, both in magnitude of response & time frame for developing and retaining training effects; thus, there cannot be one periodization model.
Cycles of Training
Macrocycles (3-4 months) • describe the overall
phase/season of training
Mesocycles (3-6 weeks) • include 1 or 2
purposes/training emphases
Microcycles (1 week)
• include individual workouts to match training purpose(s)

Some Final Points…
Training emphases & sequencing should
be guided by:• Runner’s strengths & weaknesses
• spend more time on aspects of fitness that attend to runner’s strengths
• Amount of recovery needed
• Length of race • the longer the race, the greater the
emphasis given to aerobic capacity & lactate threshold
• linear vs. reverse linear periodization?
