What is the duration of a microcycle in periodized training?

  1. One to several weeks

  2. Six to twelve months

  3. A single workout session

  4. Two to five days

The correct answer is: One to several weeks

A microcycle typically lasts one to several weeks in the periodized training approach. This allows for various training stimuli and adaptations to occur within a specific time frame. Option B, six to twelve months, is incorrect because this is the duration of a macrocycle in periodized training. Option C, a single workout session, is incorrect because it does not accurately represent the time frame of a microcycle. Option D, two to five days, is incorrect because it does not allow for enough time for significant training adaptations to occur. Therefore, option A is the most accurate and reasonable choice for the duration of a microcycle in periodized training.
