In 1972 Matwejew published a text entitled "Periodisierung des sportlichen Trainings" (Periodization of Sports Training). The main concepts are that an athlete achieves his/her fitness in phases, can preserve it for a very short period of time and will inevitably lose it. The result is that training can be divided into three phases: Preparatory phase, Competitive phase and Transition phase. Depending on the phase, both the load parameters and the content and objectives of the training will vary. The concept of Simple Periodization foresees the participation to a single competitive moment/period in one year.
