ANSWER: TRADITIONAL PERIODIZATION

EXPLANATION: The above illustration where there is reduction in the percentage of one-repitition maximum (1RM) as the day of the training advance, is basically a traditional periodization method.

Thus, the athletes completed task gradually increases over the course of the training cycle. Hence, a decrease in volume is experienced as a result of increase in the load over time.
