“…Their mean best competitive performance levels were, for snatch and clean and jerk, 68.2 ± 7.3% and 72.5 ± 9.6% of the respective world records at the onset of the study. Importantly, the intensity and volume of the weightlifting training performed during INT and RED matched that prescribed by coaches with the intention of improving performance during the subsequent competitive period within the annual training program (Häkkinen et al., ; Fry et al., ; Pistilli et al., ). The results of this study thus reflect the specific nature, requirements and consequences of competitive weightlifting training.…”

“…Systematic variations in exercise training intensity and volume, or training load, are hallmarks of training programs prescribed to improve competitive athletic performance. In competitive weightlifting, characteristic variations in training load include periodic, short‐term (1–3 week) increases or “overload” and subsequent decreases or “recovery” within phases of a longer‐term training program (Gonzalez‐Badillo et al., ; Haff et al., ; Pistilli et al., ). The intention of these periods of intensified (INT) and reduced (RED) training is improved performance during a subsequent competitive phase.…”

We sought to identify and evaluate the tolerance to, and consequences of, short-term variations in training load in competitive weightlifters. Seven international-level lifters performed 1 week of initial training followed by 2 weeks of intensified (INT: +100%, 36.5 ± 11.3 × 10(3) kg/week) and 1 week of subsequently reduced (RED: -25%) training within their annual program. After INT, but not RED, 90 min of weightlifting increased mRNA levels of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 (CCL4), chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) and cellular stress-associated DNA-damage-inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells by 40-240%. Resting- and weightlifting-induced changes in plasma protein carbonyls, indicative of oxidative stress, but not pro-inflammatory CCL4 concentrations differed between INT and RED. Symptoms of stress (Daily Analysis of Life Demands of Athletes questionnaire) were reported as worse than normal more frequently during INT and RED than initial training. Global (negative) mood state increased during INT and declined during RED. Maximal snatch (-4.3 ± 3.7%) and vertical jump (-7.2 ± 6.5%), but not clean and jerk, were reduced after INT and restored after RED. Chemokine signaling may thus be part of the stress response to intense weightlifting and short-term reductions in training load support recovery from periodic INT training in weightlifters.

“…Analyzing the training outcomes by both TSP and OPL, it seems plausible to challenge the assertion that the accumulation phase found in traditional periodization is able to elicit the transference of maximum strength capacity to the ability to produce force at higher velocities. Actually, the inferior adaptations provided by the traditional periodization regimen brings into question the effectiveness of the speculative "delayed training effects" [37,50] in boosting neuromuscular responses in soccer players with previous experience in strength training. In effect, the greater gains in muscle power reported by OPL suggest that the accumulation phase performed by TSP could have potentially reduced the increases in MPP and MPP40, possibly due to specific velocityrelated neuromuscular adaptations [21,29].…”

Traditional Periodization versus Optimum Training Load Applied to Soccer Players: Effects on Neuromuscular Abilities

It is unknown whether traditional periodization of strength-power training involving accumulation, transformation and realization blocks is superior to other simpler and more practical training schemes. The purpose of this study was thus to investigate changes in strength/power/speed characteristics of elite soccer players in response to either classic strength-power periodization (TSP) or optimum power load (OPL). 23 professional soccer players were randomly assigned to TSP or OPL for 6 weeks in-season regular training (3 times per week). TSP involved half squats or jump squats, depending on the respective training block, while OPL involved only jump squats at the optimum power load. Results revealed that both groups presented similar significant (<0.05) improvements in squat one repetition maximum, squat and countermovement jump heights and change of direction speed. In addition, although both groups reported significant increases in sprinting speed (<0.05); delta change scores demonstrated a superior effect of OPL to improve 10- and 20-m speed. Similarly, OPL presented greater delta change in mean propulsive power in the jump squat. Therefore, training continuously at the optimum power zone resulted in superior performance improvements compared to training under classic strength-power periodization.

“…The phenomenon of overtraining has been studied extensively in regard to aerobic training, but to a lesser extent in anaerobic training (Fry, 1994a;Fry, 1994b;Fry, 2000;Pistilli, 2008;Warren, 1992). With athletes in almost every sport now utilizing some form of resistance training to improve performance, it is important to create a method to easily and repeatedly test individuals for signs of overtraining in an effort to prevent it from occurring.…”

“…In an attempt to relate this research to the current investigation, studies were included that utilized overreaching/overtraining measures mentioned previously. The majority of these studies utilized higher than normal volume and/or loads (Fry, 1994a;Fry, 1994b;Fry, 2000;Pistilli, 2008;Warren, 1992). These are referred to as overtraining protocols.…”

This study was conducted in an effort to determine if a linear or nonlinear periodized resistance training program had a greater tendency to contribute to a state of overreaching over 8 weeks. Simple outcome measures were used in an effort to determine the onset of overreaching. These measures included average sleeping heart rate, standing broad jump, 10yard dash, seated medicine ball throw, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), one repetition maximum (1RM) back squat, and 1RM bench press. The participants were 25 (18 female and 7 male) college students in the Kinesiology major at Western Washington University. Subjects were separated into one of three groups: a control, linear periodized (LP), or nonlinear periodized (DUP) training group. After 8 weeks both training groups significantly increased their 1RM back squat and bench press (p<0.05). The DUP group increased their mean 1RM bench press and back squat from 46.30 ±18.47 kg to 50.83 ±19.26 kg and 67.15 ±20.54 kg to 79.34 ± 23.80 kg, respectively. The LP group increased their mean 1RM bench press and back squat from 46.82 ± 25.96 kg to 51.14 ± 25.87 kg and 74.77 ± 33.22 kg to 84.09 ± 30.10 kg, respectively. All groups significantly improved (p<0.05) their standing long jump performance over the course of the study. The control group improved from a mean of 1.86 ± 0.13 m to 2.04 ± 0.17 m, LP from 1.89 ± 0.40 m to 2.03 ± 0.41 m, and DUP from 1.87 ± 0.42 m to 1.99 ± 0.40 m. Only the DUP group significantly improved their seated medicine ball throw performance (p<0.05) from a mean of 4.09 ± 0.78 m to 4.46 ± 0.69 m. The LP and DUP groups significantly decreased (p<0.05) their 10-yard dash times from a mean of 1.85 sec ± 0.15 to 1.75 sec ± 0.18 and 1.84 sec ± 0.14 to 1.77 sec ±0.14, respectively. Average sleeping heart rate and RPE did not change significantly in any group. The lack of a significant decrease in performance measures or increase in average sleeping heart rate or RPE in either training group caused the null hypothesis to be accepted. v
