• Physical • Mentally
Define Physical Tapering
the taper period should be long enough to repair tissue damaged during training and the refuelling of energy stores.
Define Mentally Tapering
The aim of a taper is to help the athlete reach their Ideal Perforing State (IPS).
Tapers are usually how long
4-28 days
Endurance athletes require what type of taper
-Short Tamper
Strength and power athletes require what type of taper
• Longer taper periods are more important for sprint & strength
List 4 strats used to taper

Define Peaking
The term used to describe a temporary training state which allows the athlete to perform at their optimal level
