Study Notes

Periodization of Strength Training

Strength periodization needs to align with the sport's physiological demands to maximize power, power endurance, or muscular endurance development.
Strength training must tailor to the sport's periodization, using methods relevant to each phase.
The ultimate aim is peak performance during key competitions.
