Specific periodization for the volleyball: the importance of the residual training effects

Abstract

Sports periodization began in Ancient Greece with the objective of prepare the athletes for the Olympic Games. The studies on the sports periodization were practiced by Russian researchers after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Therefore, Russian researchers developed several periodization and the researchers from other countries elaborated others periodization models. However, most periodization models were developed in individual sports. This is a problem for the team sports coach to structure the training. The volleyball has its characteristics and it is necessary to elaborate a periodization model according to the needs of this sport. In 2011, Marques Junior wrote the first article about the specific periodization for the volleyball with the objective to end this problem. Other articles were written about the specific periodization for the volleyball with the objective of build a theory of this model. How to use the residual training effects in the specific periodization for the volleyball? The specific periodization for the volleyball literature does not have this information. Then, the objective of the review was to explain how to use the residual training effects during the elaboration of the specific periodization for the volleyball. The review taught how the coach should organize the ball training and physical training. The content of the residual training effects is of the ATR block periodization was inserted in the specific periodization for the volleyball. The coach that knows about the residual training effects has a parameter of the duration of the physiological adaptation of the physical training. In conclusion, the theory of the specific periodization for the volleyball has been improved during the years with the objective of the model solving the needs of the volleyball players.
