periodization, running training, linear method, non-linear method, sports performance, physiological adaptation, literature reviewAbstract
This article aims to analyze and compare, through a literature review, the linear and non-linear periodization methods applied to running training, highlighting their effects on athletes' performance and physiological adaptation. Through the review of several studies on the subject, we seek to answer the research question: Which periodization method, linear or non-linear, is more effective in optimizing performance and physiological adaptation in running training? The critical analysis of periodization methods aims to provide a clearer understanding of how each approach influences results in the context of running training, enabling a more informed and strategic choice by coaches and athletes interested in maximizing sports performance
