The primary idea for traditional periodisation is to prepare for a major peak, by completing varied and high effort training followed by a taper towards an event. Block periodisation is a more modern preferable approach, allowing athletes to peak several times throughout the season by using smaller more focused training cycles before pre-event tapers.
