Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a).
Introduction
Block periodization focuses on one quality per block (III); conjugate develops multiple qualities simultaneously (I); non‑linear varies intensity/volume frequently (IV); linear gradually increases intensity while decreasing volume (II). Thus A‑III, B‑I, C‑IV, D‑II.
Information Booster
- Block: concentrated loading on one quality.
- Conjugate: simultaneous development of several qualities.
- Non‑linear: daily/weekly fluctuations.
- Linear: progressive overload with volume‑intensity trade‑off.
- Option B misplaces linear and non‑linear.
- Option C mispairs block with IV and conjugate with II.
- Option D misplaces linear and non‑linear.
Block periodization was popularised by Yuri Verkhoshansky and is effective for advanced athletes.
