PERIODIZATION OF TRAINING IN THE NAVAL PENTATHLON FOR ATHLETES FROM THE “MIRCEA CEL BĂTRÂN” NAVAL ACADEMY TEAM

The purpose of periodization is to rationally organize the training process, over periods of several months or a year, in the form of cycles, different in duration and objectives, so that the most valuable results are obtained in the most important competitions. Research in the field of naval pentathlon brings new elements to the periodization of training. It is considered that currently, the effective approach to training should be a qualitative one, to the detriment of the traditional quantitative training. To this end, good management of the athletes' energy resources will be pursued, the optimal harmonization of all the elements that must guide the programming and planning of training, and the direction of the training strategy will be oriented towards obtaining results at the level and time established according to the competition calendar.
