What is the longest timeframe in a periodized training program?

Microcycle
Mesocycle
Macrocycle
Unloading cycle

The correct answer is: Macrocycle

The longest timeframe in a periodized training program is known as the macrocycle. This refers to the entire training program, usually spanning over a year or even longer. It is divided into smaller training cycles called mesocycles, which typically last 4-6 weeks, and even smaller training phases called microcycles, which last 1-4 weeks. While the other options may also be part of a periodized training program, none of them refer to the overall longest timeframe. A microcycle is too short, a mesocycle is a smaller training phase within the macrocycle, and an unloading cycle only refers to a specific type of training phase within a mesocycle.
