Answer:

Macrocycle

Step-by-step explanation:

Macrocycle refers to a physical training plan that is aimed to give a person the best possible performance during competitive time (not all the time throughout the year).

This type of plan typically very popular among athletes who only have to compete at a specific date through the year. (American football is a good example for this since it will divide the athlete's time to off-season and on-season).

The trainers who adovcate for this plan will separate the Athletes' regiment into preparation, competitive period and transition, and pre-competition . Each period will consist of different diets and workouts to prevent injuries and maximize performance only when they need to.
