Abstract
Strength and conditioning coaches have many decisions to make when designing resistance training programs. Choices about which exercises to use, the intensities at which they are performed, and the total volume that is lifted are all decisions that need to be made when designing resistance training programs. Depending on which form of periodization that is used, these choices will vary from program to program. The purpose of this study was to compare different types of periodization for programming resistance training in collegiate athletes. The research also explored whether training experience played a role in strength gains among both methods. The two methods evaluated were linear and undulating periodization. The study found that while both forms of periodization showed increases in strength, the individuals using undulating periodization yielded better results overall regardless of what the training experience was. The results of this study will help strength and conditioning professionals to be better informed when deciding which form of periodization they will use when designing programs for their athletes or clients.
