What is Periodization?

Periodization breaks your training year into phases—each with specific goals such as building endurance, increasing strength, or tapering for competition.

Common Periodization Phases

• Preparatory Phase: Focus on general fitness and building base endurance
• Build Phase: Increase training intensity and sport-specific skills
• Peak Phase: Reach highest fitness levels while reducing volume
• Recovery Phase: Rest and repair to avoid overtraining

How to Apply Periodization

Work with a coach or use training apps to design cycles based on your sport, goals, and calendar events. Periodization helps you stay motivated and make measurable progress.
