Look at Periodization as the timing of the application of
training to insure optimum adaptive response in order to be fully adaptable to
the demands of competition. To be effective in planning it is imperative to
understand all the nuances and implications of the time to adaptation and reversibility
that I posted yesterday. It is also important that all components of training
must be trained during all phases of the training year. The amount and
proportion must be varied based on the training age, phase of training and the
training emphasis. The rationale behind this is that different physical
qualities have different curves of supecompensation (Olbrecht, P.5). Remember
that training tasks that have high neural demand require complete recovery. Training tasks
with high metabolic demand can be trained with incomplete recovery. All this
must be taken into consideration in microcycle and training block design and
implementation.

Vern,
I ask this as a legitimate question and not to challenge your knowledge.
You state,”Remember that training tasks that have high neural demand require complete recovery.”
My question is that in the sport the athlete may not have full recovery but still requires the same high neural demand. At some point in training won’t the athlete need to perform these highly neural tasks without full recovery to improve work capacity??
Thanks,
Jonathan
