Aplicabilidad de los modelos de periodización del entrenamiento deportivo. Una revisión sistemática

With the development of training, the way in which the coaches structure the workloads was adapted to their needs. The objective of this study was to identify the model that allows greater efficiency and Applicability, based on an analysis of 12.342 references to publications from 2004 and 2005 found in databases, and updated in late 2008. The selected sample, after exclusion criteria, consisted of 103 publications. The methodology used was the systematic review and Size-Effect inferential statistical method, enabling the establishment of an Index of Applicability (IAPLIC). The models of periodization Classical, ATR and Structural Bells showed a �Very Good� IAPLIC and the models Prioritized and in Blocks, a "Good� one. It is concluded that the models with "Very Good" IAPLIC are the ones with the best applicability.
