Abstract

This article reviews the current state of the art in the phased design and neuromuscular adaptation of strength training for adolescent athletes. It discusses the importance of periodic models, their impact on strength development, and the mechanisms of neuromuscular adaptation during training. This study focuses on how models of periodism, including linear, fluctuation, and block periodism, can help optimize neuromuscular efficiency and explore their specific roles in the development of motor unit synchronization, HTMU recruitment, and myofiber hypertrophy in adolescents.
