Programming & Periodization of Strength & Conditioning Training | Part 2: Creating a Mesocycle

[@papaskreeb1335]

10/10 videos, but I’m curious for power exercises in each progression, how does the load/intensity differ from mesocycle to mesocycle. Using the intensification progression with squat jumps for example will the load in one mesocycle be 50-45kg, then the next mesocycle would it be 52.5-47.5kg, or is load maintained?

I would usually decrease load from meso-to-meso. This is to allow faster movement velocities with lighter loads 👍

[@papaskreeb1335]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 is there a way to track power progression without a VBT?

[@aboodtakrouri6722]

thank you so much for this series, it did help me a lot

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

No problem, glad it was helpful 👍

Great amount of info! What kind of elements and Exercise selection is best for racquet sports such as badminton? And how do we structure this for racquet sports

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

I'd focus on training: -Change of direction -Plyometrics -Loaded power -Max & General Strength -Badminton-specific endurance Check out this video for more info kzbin.info/www/bejne/enjWp56XbJWIl8k

Thanks for this. Question…Can one go straight to the Realisation phase without doing the other 2? My son wants to prepare for a 6 game basketball tournament in 4 weeks. If not is there anything you recommend especially for endurance. Thanks in advance.

You can, but you will have a slightly higher risk of injury. For basketball-specific endurance, your best option is to play as many basketball games as possible before the tournament 👍
