Abstract

The objective of the study was to explain based on the sportive training literature how the undulation training load (UTL) was structured in each period of the sportive periodization. During the military period the ancient peoples developed the periodization of military training with UTL and in the period of the first records of the sportive periodization the Ancient Greeks created the Tetrad with UTL. The empirical period was from 1917 to 1950; the pioneer periodization was developed with UTL, based on the seasons of the year, the competitive calendar, and the type of training. The scientific period was from 1950 to 1977, the researchers elaborated the traditional periodizations based on exercise physiology for the coach to understand the peak of the sports form, and with UTL. The modern period was from 1978 until the present day, and contemporary periodization was developed for several sports with the UTL. In conclusion, a UTL is a necessity for high-performance sports.
