What defines a mesocycle in periodized training?

  1. A cycle lasting several years

  2. The initial phase of training

  3. An intermediate component lasting one to several months

  4. A recovery period

The correct answer is: An intermediate component lasting one to several months

Mesocycle is a commonly used term in periodized training to refer to an intermediate phase that typically lasts one to several months. This phase is characterized by a combination of specific goals and training modalities, such as training intensity, volume, and focus. This makes options A, B, and D incorrect as they do not accurately define a mesocycle in the context of periodized training. Option A refers to a much longer time frame than a mesocycle, while option B and D simply refer to general phases or components of training without highlighting the specific characteristics of a mesocycle.
