Reverse periodization may enhance autonomic markers in swimmers; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change training practice.
Does reverse training periodization improve autonomic adaptation and swimming performance compared to traditional periodization in trained swimmers?
Reverse training periodization leads to higher autonomic adaptation (increased HRV) compared to traditional periodization in swimmers, though neither significantly improves 50-m sprint performance.
