Distinguish between the three periodized training models and explain why one would be chosen over another
Three types of periodized training, based on program design and objectives, are commonly used. They are:
• Classical periodization. This is the type used by individuals interested in maximal strength development. They start with a high volume of training using low resistances. In subsequent cycles, the program gradually switches to a lower volume and higher resistances.
• Reverse periodization. This is the type used primarily by individuals seeking greater muscular endurance. Also a linear model, it is opposite of the classical model: The resistances are highest at the beginning of training, with a low volume, followed by progressive decreases in resistances and increases in training volume.
• Undulating periodization. This type uses a combination of volumes and resistances within a cycle by alternating in a nonlinear fashion (randomly or systematically) among the muscular fitness components: strength, hypertrophy, power, and endurance. The undulating model compares favorably and, in some cases, is superior to the classical and reverse models.
