The muscles do not adapt because they are constantly stimulated by the rotating Micro Cycles. Plateaus are minimized and steady gains achieved. The physics of form and function cause a muscle to change according to the intensity of the training. During a high intensity cycle, power-strength develops. During a low intensity period, endurance-strength develops.
High intensity builds muscle fiber density , while low intensity builds muscle fiber size.
Using Macro Cycles comprised of alternating Micro cycles makes a healthier, better shaped muscle with superior performance qualities. Periodization refers to the organizing of the Micro Cycles into a long term plan for competition which peaks on a specific date. For example a Body Builder will always peak at the end of a high volume-low intensity cycle when muscle size is maximized. To periodize an exercise program you take the date of your competition and count your Micro Cycles backward to your starting date. The BioFitness Health Club automatically formulates both high and low intensity Micro Cycles for you.
