Let\u2019s start by making something perfectly clear: Periodization: Theory and Methodology of Training<\/em> is a hardcore, scientific textbook about athletic fitness training. It\u2019s not something you bring with you on a bus and scan through a few pages every morning \u2013 it\u2019s meant to be studied, preferably in an environmentally-controlled, soundproof room. In the process, the pages should be highlighted, dog-eared, and covered with notes and Post-it notes.<\/p> This textbook is in its sixth edition and was written by Tudor Bompa and Carlo A. Buzzichelli. Bompa helped popularize periodization in North America and coached four Olympic gold medalists. Coach Charles Poliquin and Bompa lectured together in many coaching conferences.<\/p> Periodization: Theory and Methodology of Training, 6th<\/sup>\u00a0Edition\u00a0<\/em>was published by Human Kinetics in 2019. It is an expansion of Bompa\u2019s\u00a0Theory and Methodology of Training<\/em>\u00a0published by Kendall\/Hunt Publishing Company in 1983. It\u2019s massive at 392 pages but is much easier to understand than the 1983 version due to its layout and abundant use of photos, tables, and illustrations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t It has three major sections, progression from theory to practical application, as follows: Part I: Training Theory<\/strong>, Part II: Periodization Training<\/strong>, and Part III: Training Methods<\/strong>.<\/p> Here is the breakdown of the Chapters:<\/p> Part I: Training Theory Part II: Planning and Periodization Chapter 7: Planning the Training Cycles Part III: Training Methods<\/strong> Of note to Poliquin fans, Chapter 4 uses a different approach than Poliquin in describing the major variations of training. Whereas Poliquin used loading parameters, Bompa approaches loading parameters in this manner:<\/p> * Volume Thus, whereas Poliquin referred to reps and sets as separate loading parameters, Bompa would combine these into the collective term \u201cvolume.\u201d For example, Bompa would describe training volume as \u201csets x reps x resistance.\u201d In other words, Poliquin\u2019s basic training concepts are available in Bompa\u2019s work, but presented in a different manner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
