Athlete training should proceed from thorough and systematic periodized plans for the implementation of training loads. The time-course of training should include periods of high loads punctuated by reduced loads and rest.

Ra from athlete training are poorly understood and in need of a model or framework to advance our ability to systematically complement training with appropriate modalities.
