Periodisation is the process of dividing and allocating your specific training program into cycled timeframes where each has a specific performance goal according to the foundations your performance. A meticulously designed program allows for explicit physiological responses from your body by developing specific energy systems and strength requirements inherent in the sport of your choice. When planned, based on your preparation for a specific event or series of events and comprised of training sessions targeted at the appropriate duration and intensity, a periodised program will optimise your competitive performance to a far greater degree than a stand-alone, unstructured program. A good program also has built-in aspects that guard against overtraining and overuse injuries. To develop the foundations of a successful periodised training program, it is vital that the program is formulated and tailored to suit individual goals and competitive requirements. At The EP Group, we can guide you through the process of setting achievable goals, keeping you safe from overuse injuries and optimising individual results by effectively implementing periodised training programs.
