Adherence
Daily undulating programming (DUP) and strategic microcycle construction (e.g., prioritizing high-intensity sessions after low-intensity recovery sessions) can optimize recovery and enhance performance on priority sessions.
Use Daily Undulating Programming (DUP) to schedule high-intensity or high-volume sessions after low-intensity 'easy' sessions. This allows you to recover fully for your priority lifts while maintaining training frequency.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Daily undulating programming may maximise performance on priority sessions while maintaining purposeful and productive easy days.
Why this rating
Supported by studies showing DUP benefits and strategic scheduling outcomes.
