Summary

In a competitive scenario, trainers and coaches seek to improve the performance of their athletes organizing macrocycles (year), mesocycles (months), and microcycles (weeks) training aimed at a specific moment of a competition. The organization variables, mainly the intensity of exercise in a training routine can stimulate important physiological pathways and uphold superior gains to VO2max, leading to a peak aerobic performance. However, due to lack of evidence, and the difficulty of control on a large scale, the effects of the intensity organization over a mesocycle periodization are still poorly investigated.
