EP 019 - Programming: Macrocycle focus & Long-Term Periodisation

Listen Later

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?
