Answer:

Sequenced strength-training program that varies training volume and intensity to optimize physiologic functional capacity and exercise performance by structuring training into time blocks of different duration (macrocycles, mesocycles, microcycles).

Step-by-step explanation:

there are four stages of periodization:

Hypertrophy – muscle size increase – heavy weights, but for moderate/high reps.

Strength / power – medium reps, very heavy weights.

Power – low reps, very heavy weights.

Rejuvenation – active rest.
