Coaches can choose a cycle-length variant or pattern of presenting overload that largely determines the sets, repetitions, relative intensity, and so on to be used during each week of the cycle. Little consideration has been given to the effects that different variants or patterns of progression of periodized overload have upon strength, power, size, and so on for different levels of athletes at different times of the training year. Hopefully this presentation of different variants of cycle-length periodized ov erload may provoke further research by academics or experimentation by coaches in a bid to determine the relative merits of this type of cycle-length training variation.
