Chasing Mercury, Battling Hercules: Getting Fitter and Stronger with Periodization Training DVD

by Jason R. Karp, Ph.D. 

Published by Healthy Learning™

The positive physiological adaptation to training is the result of a correctly timed alternation between stress and recovery.  How that stress and recovery is applied determines the results that individuals achieve from their training efforts.  Whether a person is interested in losing weight or training for a marathon, the best training programs are planned.  Periodization is a proven method for structuring programs with training cycles that optimizes stress and recovery.  Chasing Mercury, Battling Hercules: Getting Fitter and Stronger with Periodization Training, Dr. Karp’s presentation from the 2008 American College of Sports Medicine Health & Fitness Summit, provides an overview of the theory of periodized training, reviews research findings, discusses the use of training cycles, and provides examples of how to properly periodize training programs.
