Periodization

Periodization is a fundamental physics concept explaining the behavior of matter and energy, with formulas and real-world applications.

Key points: Core principles, practical applications, and advanced concepts that build deep understanding.

Core Concepts

Components of Fitness

Cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

FITT Principle

Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type — the four variables for designing effective exercise programs.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic

Aerobic: with oxygen, sustained activity (running, swimming). Anaerobic: without oxygen, short bursts (sprinting, weightlifting).

Motor Skill Development

The progression of movement skills from fundamental (running, throwing) to specialized (sport-specific techniques).

Periodization

Systematic planning of training phases: preparation, competition, recovery.

Worked Examples & Applications

FITT Principle Example: Cardiovascular training: Frequency = 3-5 days/week, Intensity = 60-80% max HR, Time = 20-60 minutes, Type = running, cycling, swimming.
Target Heart Rate Calculation: Karvonen Formula: Target HR = [(Max HR − Resting HR) × %Intensity] + Resting HR. Example: Max HR = 220 − 25 = 195. Resting HR = 60. 70% intensity: (195−60) × 0.70 + 60 = 154.5 bpm.
