Question

Which one of the following is NOT correct regarding the training cycle in sports?

Options

• A mesocycle is termed as medium duration training.

• The duration of a microcycle is 3 to 10 days.

• The duration of the mesocycle is 3 to 6 weeks.

• The macrocycle has the minimum duration of training.

Answer 1

The macrocycle has the minimum duration of training.

Explanation:

In sports periodisation, a macrocycle is the longest of the three training cycles, typically representing the entire training year or a multi-month season. It is designed to help an athlete reach a peak for a major competition. Therefore, stating it has the “minimum duration” is factually incorrect.
