Planning and Assessing Training Loads in Sports Conditioning

1

 

Training for a competition, or season can roughly be divided into build up, pre-competition, taper, competition, and off-season phases.  These are shown in Figure 1.

Sending an athlete into battle underdone or overdone will not produce peak performance!
