Text 3.2 five training stages
1. Read the text bellow. Characterise presented training stages.
Ideally, preparation for competitive endurance sports includes five stages: Base, Intensity, Peak, Competition (or Race), and Restoration. The number of weeks given each stage depends on the number of competitive seasons planned per year and your experience and condition. The physiological purposes of the five training stages will be explained in detail further. It is necessary at this point only to understand that there are essential physiological developments that take place by stages in a progressive fashion during the weeks and months preceding competition. Figure 1.1 illustrates the five training stages for an athlete participating in one competition season per year. It is helpful in planning to consider actual dates for competitions, training camps/ clinics, and any medical or physiological testing desired during the year.

Text 3.3 training cycles nature
1. Read the text bellow. Do you share the author’s ideas?
Athletes
and coaches use training cycles of different length. The most
commonly employed are 4-week cycles. The personality or format of a
cycle depends on the stage of the year. Every training plan accounts
for a total of 100 % of the year’s training time. Each 4-week
cycle consists of a certain percentage of this total. Training
during the Base stage is of low intensity and volume. The Intensity
stage is marked by an increase both in intensity and volume. The
Peak stage is of less total training volume but by high intensity.
The Competition stage has high intensity but reduced volume. The
Restoration stage is of very low volume and intensity with a lot of
alternative activities. You should exercise caution while the volume
increasing in order to avoid overtraining. A critical aspect of the
4-week cycle is its personality. There may be used other training
categories as Speed Work, Endurance and Overdistance training,
Race\Pace intensities, Interval and Vertical methods, and Strength
training.

1. 52 недели года делятся далее на более короткие циклы. 2. Наибольшее распространение получили четырёхнедельные циклы. 3. В зависимости от этапа (мезоцикла) года каждый цикл индивидуален (имеет свою характерную особенность). 4. Каждый тренировочный план исчисляется (рассчитывается) из целого 100% объёма фактического тренировочного времени в году. 5. Несколько факторов влияют на процентное соотношение распределения общего годового объёма времени по циклам: например, следует учитывать мезоцикл года. 6. Базовый этап предполагает низкий и умеренно-низкий тренировочный объём. 7. Интенсивный (втягивающий) этап характерен постепенным увеличением, как интенсивности, так и объёма, который достигает самого высокого уровня из всех годичных циклов. 8. Для подводящего этапа свойственно сокращение общего тренировочного объёма, но сохранение высокой интенсивности тренировок. 9. На соревновательном этапе (ударный мезоцикл) тренировки цикла обычно характеризуются высокой интенсивностью и уменьшением объёма. 10. Восстановительный этап всегда отличается очень низким уровнем объёма и интенсивности тренировки, большая часть времени которой отводится альтернативной деятельности. 11. Формат каждого четырёхнедельного цикла нацелен на достижение желаемого физиологического эффекта от тренировки. 12. К наиболее распространенным тренировочным категориям относятся скоростная работа, развитие выносливости, сверхдистанция, темповая тренировка, интервальная и вертикальная методика, силовая тренировка.
