BEffect of periodisation at matched training volume
Moesgaard L, Beck MM, Christiansen L, Aagaard P, Lundbye-Jensen J · 2022 · Sports Medicine 52(7):1647-1666
REZA evidence rating B: Reasonable confidence
Methodology
Systematic review with meta-analysis
Findings
When total volume is matched, the added effect of periodisation on strength and muscle growth is more limited than often assumed. ⚠ conclusion still to be reconfirmed against the full text before this is treated as final.
Practical conclusion for REZA
Progression over the months is used for managing recovery and variation, and isn't presented as a standalone advantage.
