Solution
Periodisation cycle
| Periodisation Cycle Hierarchy | |
| Periodisation Cycle | Description |
| Quadrennial cycle | Multi-year plan: 4 years |
| Macro cycle | Describes the complete training Period: 1 year |
| Meso cycle (Phase) | Describes the singular training cycle: 4 weeks |
| Micro cycle | Describes the structural unit of a meso cycle: 1 week |
| Work-outs | Describes the structural unit |
Periodisation Cycles: Periodisation training is divided into several cycles, from offseason, pre-season, in-season, to post-season. The phases of training take place within a yearlong macro-cycle (long-length cycle of one year) which is divided into two or more meso-cycles (medium-length cycles of 4 week blocks), each of which lasts for a few months. These meso-cycles are then further broken down into multiple one-week micro-cycles (short-length cycles of one week). The time periods of these training blocks can vary significantly among sports. Each meso-cycle has a very specific training focus and all of these build up to prepare the sportspersons to reach their peak athletic ability during the competition. The training programme must consist of a variety of elements, including cardio and respiratory (aerobic) fitness, general strength, anaerobic fitness (power), speed, neuromuscular skill development, flexibility, and mental preparation.
