World Squash FederationCoach Education Programme Level 3Periodisation for Squash
"If you don't know where you are going, don't be surprised to arrive somewhere else." • In terms of sports performance, that means if you fail to plan the development of your athletes properly, you will not be able to maximize their potential. • The planning process in sports is called "Periodization". Maj(R)S.Maniam
Workshop Outcomes • By the end of this workshop, you should have an understanding of the following: • What,Why, When and How of Periodisation • The Phases and Cycles in Periodisation • Meaning and use of Tapering , Transition and Peaking Index • How all above is used to formulate an Annual Squash Plan Maj(R)S.Maniam
OVERVIEW • To compete at the elite level squash players require to develop and be proficient in a range of attributes. • Ideally players use a periodised approach to training for optimal long-term development, which allow them to sequentially develop these attributes over a desired period of time
PERIODISATION • Periodisation is the art and science of planning and integrating all training components (technical, tactical, physical and psychological) along with social factors (sleep, nutrition, hydration, drug education, career guidance) • Into a sequence that will optimize the development of an athlete and lead to peak performance at the desired time, while avoiding plateau and overtraining. • In a nutshell it means when and what type of stress you place on the body Maj(R)S.Maniam
TYPES OF PERIODISATION • CLASSIC LINEAR PERIODISATION • UNDULATING PERIODISATION • CONJUGATIVE PERIODISATION Maj(R)S.Maniam
Classic Linear Periodisation • Progressing a training stress or fitness characteristic in a linear fashion. • This is roughly equivalent to “progressive overload” for single or multiple factors. Normally concentrating on one motor ability per phase without changes in exercise. • Any change from one session to the next is some form of progressive overload. More weight on the bar, more reps, more sets, etc. • Progress with more weight with the same number of reps, or more reps with the same weight. Maj(R)S.Maniam
Undulating Periodisation • Changing the training volume and/or intensity to expose the body to different stressors. • Weights, reps, and sets can change day to day and week to week, but there are normally no changes in exercises, and the overall average volume and intensity remains the same. Maj(R)S.Maniam
Conjugative periodisation • Regularly changing training stressors (exercises) with the purpose of training different physical characteristics (like maximal strength and explosiveness, for example) simultaneously. • There is no one-size-fits-all best training plan, but almost all successful training plans have all three of these elements – linearity, conjugation, and undulation
Periodisation Cycles • Microcycle • 5-7 days. • Normally a week • Mesocycle • Major training phase within a year (4-6 weeks) • Normally a month • Macrocycle • A training year • It refers to the overall training period, usually representing a year or two. There are longer cycles as well for the Olympian, being 4 or 8 years.
Phases of the Macrocycle Preparation Period General Preparation Phase Specific Preparation Phase Competition Period Pre-Competition Phase Competition Phase Transition Period Transition Phase Rest and Recovery
Preparatory Period • General Preparatory Phase • Rehabilitation from existing injury • Structural development • Fitness foundation with cross-training • General Aerobic Endurance • General Strength • Strength Endurance • Speed • Skill Building development • Varied technical practice
Specific Preparatory Phase • General Aerobic Endurance • Special Endurance • Sub-maximal speed endurance • General Strength • Speed Strength • Strength Endurance • Speed • Skills/Coordination • Sport-specific fitness and training
Competitive Period • Pre-Competition • Lactate Training (if appropriate) • Taper • High intensity/low volume • Competition simulation • Competition • Maintenance of the components of performance • High intensity/very low volume • Focus on mental skills
Transition Period • Maintain fitness • 30-50% of competition load • Mental and Physical Rest • Career/Education • Screenings • Physical • Psychological • Career/Education • Possibly fitness testing? • Review year • Goal setting

Summary of Periodisation Components Maj(R)S.Maniam
PEAKING INDEX CLASSIFICATION OF YEARLY COMPETITION SCHEDULE Peaking Index 1 - NO EMPHASIS • Training continues as usual. May train on competition day. • e.g. local leagues, local club competitions, ladder matches. Peaking Index 2 - MINOR EMPHASIS • Taper period – 1 day. (Generally no training on competition day) • Active rest/recovery – 1 day • Total 1 – 2 days (slightly disrupted training) • e.g. local competitions
CLASSIFICATION OF YEARLY COMPETITION SCHEDULE-cont’ Peaking Index 3 - First Minor Peaking Competition • Taper period – 2-4 days • Active rest/recovery – 1-4 days • Total 5-7 days disrupted training • e.g. national championships, test matches Peaking Index 4 - First Major Peaking • Taper period - 4-10 days. • Active rest/recovery 5-7 days • Total 9-17 days (not including competition period) e.g. international open events, selected PSA, WISPA events.
CLASSIFICATION OF YEARLY COMPETITION SCHEDULE-cont’ Peaking Index 5 - Most Important Yearly Peak • Taper period – 14-21 days • Active rest/recovery 4-12 weeks • Total 6-15 weeks disrupted training (not including competition period) e.g. the Olympics, World championships, Asian championships, Asian Games • The star rating level is dependant on the competition level.
Developing an Annual Training Plan • Step 1: Identify the major events that the athletes must peak for. Include any important dates in the plan including training camps, school holidays and exams. • Step 2: Work chronologically backwards from this date outlining the weeks and months to the current date. • Step 3: Divide the plan into three major training phases of a training plan (preparation - (GPP, SPP), pre-competition, and competition) Maj(R)S.Maniam
Step 4: Break each phase into the desired messo cycles and micro cycles incorporating appropriate loading and unloading (recovery) periods. A general recommendation is to have a four-week messo cycle where you have three weeks of loading followed by one week unloading or recovery. • Step 5: Determine target training load percentages for each phase. • Step 6: Incorporate a method of monitoring the progress of the athletes into the plan, e.g. time trials, fitness tests, game rehearsals etc. Maj(R)S.Maniam
Designing a weekly plan – Micro Cycle • Step 1: Identify which phase the particular week occurs in and observe the target training load percentages for that phase • Step 2: Observe the time, distance or performance target for that week • Step 3: Determine the time and/or distance for each training zone for that week • Step 4: Select the suitable training protocols to achieve these training goals " • Step 5: Record and monitor your plan Maj(R)S.Maniam

SUMMARY • Periodisation is best thought of as a way of organising your long term training towards an eventual goal for improved performance of hitting a peak on a particular date. • If you want to build the best all round performance, some form of periodisation will undoubtedly form the bedrock of your training scheme.
