Train Smarter: Periodisation

Written by Professor Gordon S. Lynch

The rapid improvements in health, fitness and/or sports performance often seen early in training don't last forever. How do we make sure the improvements keep coming?

When embarking on a training program for the first time, or after a period of prolonged inactivity, the initial improvements in health and fitness are usually rapid and quite dramatic. After this early phase of training further adaptations are harder to come by. Not surprisingly, motivation to continue may wane unless training is modified to maintain rates of improvement.
