What is the primary goal of a periodized routine?

Maximize flexibility
Minimize the risk of injury
Push client toward the outer boundaries of the resistance stage
Ensure complete recovery after every session

The correct answer is: Push client toward the outer boundaries of the resistance stage

A periodized routine is designed to gradually increase resistance and intensity over time, systematically pushing the client towards their maximum potential. This not only helps to maximize muscle growth and strength gain, but also allows for proper adaptation and recovery, minimizing the risk of injury. Option A is incorrect because flexibility training is not the primary goal of a periodized routine. While improving flexibility may be a benefit of certain exercises within the routine, it is not the main focus. Option D is incorrect because a periodized routine does not necessarily ensure complete recovery after every session, as the goal is to gradually increase intensity and resistance. Option B is also incorrect because although minimizing the risk of injury is a goal of a periodized routine, it is not the primary goal. The main focus of a periodized routine is to push the client towards their maximum potential and achieve optimal results.
