The document outlines a 1-year training program for track and field athletes aged 15-16. It includes definitions of key terms like rationale, macrocycle, mesocycle, and microcycle. The macrocycle covers a full year divided into general preparation, specific preparation, competitive, and transition periods. Mesocycles last 3-4 weeks and microcycles are single weeks. A sample microcycle plan focuses on strength, skills, and game situations. It also provides a sample class plan covering warm-up, skills drills, weight lifting, and stretching exercises led by the coach.

1. Introduction
The preferred sportof choice for the individual is Track and Field. My objectives are clear and precise as it relates
to being a coachfor this particular activity being taken place on the schoolground during a normal schoolday,
involvement of students in this activity will help them to expound more rationally on the effects of the sportas well
as a greater accumulation of knowledge which will aid them in enhancing their God given talents and recognize the
areas that they are weak in with the aid of the host.
Listed below is a clearly outlined training program organized for athletes to develop and enhance on their strong
points as well as their weak areas as it relates to their skills, endurance and strengths as well as to get them in the
shape they ought to be in for any competition, mentally, physically and socially.
What Is Rationale As It Relates To Sports?
Rationale is a set of reason or changes of logical basis for a courseor action of a particular belief. Simply put,
rationale can be defined as a change that takes place to make something more efficient or to make someone more
enhanced in a particular way so as to reach their full potential.
Down below is the time, gender and age group of students chosenfor the particular event.
Duration: 1 year
Age group: 15-16 Years

2. What Is A Macro-Cycle?
A macro cycle refers to an annual plan that is aimed at working towards obtaining peak performance for the
goal competition of the year. There are four (4) phases in macro cycle an: The macrocycle consists of all 52
weeks of your annual plan and therefore includes all four stages of a periodized training program
(endurance, intensity, competition and recovery). Because of its length, you will almost certainly make
changes to it throughout the year. Think of the macro cycle as a birds-eye view of your annual training
plan.

4. What Is A Meso-Cycle?
The mesocycle represents a specific block of training that is designed to accomplish a particular goal. For
example, during the endurance phase, you might develop a mesocycle that is specifically designed to
enhance your muscular endurance . This mesocycle might consist of 3 weeks of strength training and big
gear spinning, and one week of recovery. Mesocycles are typically 3 to 4 weeks in length but can be a bit
longer. Two very common mesocycles are 21 and 28-day training blocks. I will provide an example of a
training plan with 21-day mesocycles in my next post.

What Is A Microcycle?
5. A microcycle is the shortest training cycle, typically consisting of a single week or two with the goal of
facilitating a focused block of training. An example of this is an endurance block where a cyclist strings
three or four long rides together within one week to progressively overload training volume (with the
objective of improving aerobic endurance). Generally speaking, two or three microcycles are tied together
to create a mesocycle.
