The identification of a training microcycle through the principles of tactical periodization in football

The concept of training periodisation foresees an annual sub- division of operational contents, tactical periodisation in foot- ball develops the methodological principles to which it refers through a weekly microcycle, this conception originated from the systemic theory and its planning activities focus on a tacti- cal element inspired by the game model that trainer wishes to create. It uses the principle of specificity, alternation, complex development and density. Great importance is given to the co- gnitive-emotional aspect which translates into the active partici- pation that the athletes are asked to carry out during the weekly microcycle, within which adaptations to the game modeland the relative performance model are created. The simplification of a weekly microcycle includes the distribution of the princi- ples and the sub-principles of the game model that has been elaborated and adapted depending on the opponents. Such strategic methodology represents a modern concept of metho- dological approach relating to the planning of training means having as its core feature the subdivision of tactical elements relating to the discipline of football into a weekly microcycle.
