What is periodization?

  1. A type of cardiovascular exercise

  2. A diet plan

  3. The systematic organization of training periods to efficiently reach goals

  4. A recovery strategy after workouts

The correct answer is: The systematic organization of training periods to efficiently reach goals

Periodization is the systematic planning and organization of training periods to help individuals or athletes efficiently reach their goals. This includes dividing the training into different stages or phases, each with a specific focus and level of intensity, in order to enhance athletic performance and reduce the risk of injuries. Option A is incorrect because periodization does not refer to any type of exercise. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a diet plan, which is unrelated to periodization. Option D is incorrect because periodization is not a recovery strategy, but rather a structured approach to training.
