Meta AnalysisPeriodisation Strategies: A Meta-Analysis Unravelling the Impact on Optimising Athletic Peak Performance.
The present study aimed to identify the impact of various periodisation approaches used in training athletes and to identify the effect size of the periodisation technique in improving athletes' peak performance before the main event. Inclusion criteria comprised recruitment of all those studies in which the effects of periodisation training were identified on athletes' peak performance. Various databases such as Google Scholar, Pedro, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched by independent reviewers using the MeSH terms including 'interval training', 'aerobic exercise', 'periodisation,' 'peak performance', and 'athletes'. ⋯ In achieving optimisation in athletes' peak performance, inculcating the concept of periodisation is a practical approach. While incorporating periodisation in training, models of training principles must be given ardent importance. Key Words: Exercise training, Sports, Athletes, Periodisation, Peak performance.
