Realization....What is it?

The realization block is commonly known as the (pre-competition phase) which means it is the final block in any particular training stage. The purpose is to put on the best performance possible within a given range of fitness (Zatsiorski, 1995). Following the very fatiguing transmutation block which accumulates a certain high level of fatigue should lead seamlessly into the realization block meant to eliminate this fatigue so that all the residual effects come together and "peak" at the end of you training stage. So the first aim is to provide and facilitate restoration and ultimately attain a supercompensation state at time of competition (Issurin, 2008).
This block can last anywhere from 7 days to 2 weeks depending on time of year (longer toward late season). Major characteristics of this block would be to monitor athletes emotional tension. Leading into competition emotional stress can have a negative impact on recovery. Exercises should be as sport specific as possible. You should perform simulation of athletes required performances as indicators of athlete performance. This is very important not only as indicators but for athletes readiness as competition approaches. Workload reduction highly depends on the length of your realization block. If it is shorter it would require a quick reduction in workload to attain supercompensation state. If it is longer block, as in a couple weeks, avoidance of de-training is paramount so maintaining loads or gradual reduction is recommended. With reduction in workload nutrition will need to be closely monitored as well. Adjustments should be made to accommodate the lower energy expenditure.
In conclusion, the realization block is key in bringing the previous blocks components and using its residual effects to attain peak performance. The most important quality to recognize is the elimination of fatigue. All the components of the BPC will ensure your athlete is at peak fitness levels to ensure best performance.
