loading and tapering
Loading and tapering refers to the practice of gradually increasing or decreasing exercise or training intensity and volume to optimize performance and prevent overuse injuries. In the context of physical activity, loading involves progressively increasing the workload or stress placed on the body, allowing it to adapt and grow stronger over time. Tapering, on the other hand, involves decreasing the intensity and volume of training before a competition or event to allow the body to recover and reach peak performance.
