Periodization.

Strength and conditioning coaches and sport coaches use it to help their athletes progress and adapt - to get stronger, faster, and more powerful.

But, what if the foundation of periodization has roots from somewhere else? What if periodization was never intended for sport at all?

If I have tickled your curiosity then you are going to love this podcast with John Kiely.

John is a strength and conditioning coach and currently work at the Institute for Coaching and Performance (ICaP), at the University of Central Lancashire. His current research interests revolve around human performance, and include: The detrimental effects of fatigue on running coordination; the modernizing of Periodization planning paradigms; stress as it relates to performance and health; genetics and sports performance; and the link between fitness, movement, cognition and emotional health.
