elevate general fitness
True or False? As a whole, the general loading paradigm across the macrocycle moves from higher intensity during the preparatory phase toward higher volume training during the competitive phase.
false

general preparatory
Which subphase is used to translate basic fitness characteristics into more sport-specific fitness, motor abilities, and technical abilities by using periods of higher-volume training coupled with periods of high-intensity training? general preparatory specific preparatory precompetitive main competitive
general preparatory
The annual training plan is often used interchangeably with the term: macrocycle mesocycle microcycle quadrennial training plan

Generally, ________are structured for the preparation of Olympic athletes but also are used for the development of both high school and collegiate athletes.
quadrennial training plan
Which microcycle structure contains sudden increases in training load applied in conjunction with high training volumes and has the potential to induce specific physiological and performance gains? ordinary shock precompetitive competitive
shock
An individual _______can contain one or more interconnected training session(s) constructed to meet the goals and demands established by the microcycle
training day
The smallest training unit is the individual _________.
training day
Which phase of training typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks and is designed to refresh the athlete physically and mentally while performing a significantly reduced training load that targets the maintenance of fitness and minimizes the emphasis on sport specific skills? transition prepatory competitive realization
transition
Which mesocycle is 2 to 4 weeks in duration and is designed to translate the adaptations and skills developed in the preceding block into sport-specific characteristics that allow for the elevation of preparedness? accumulation realization transition transmutation
transmutation
True or False? In a periodized training program, only the volume and intensity should be varied.
true
True or False? It is generally accepted that training days that contain multiple smaller training sessions result in a greater training effect and allow for a greater level of training variation.
true
True or False? Once strength is increased, the potential to develop power and speed characteristics is enhanced.
true
True or False? The smallest and most basic training structure is the mesocycle.
