Resumen

La puesta a punto o taper es una reducción progresiva no lineal de la carga de entrenamiento durante un período variable de tiempo, que tiene como objetivo reducir el estrés fisiológico y psicológico del entrenamiento diario y optimizar el rendimiento en los deportes. El objetivo de la puesta a punto debe ser minimizar la fatiga acumulada sin afectar las adaptaciones. La mejor manera para lograr esto es mantener la intensidad de entrenamiento, reducir el volumen de entrenamiento (a 60-90%) y reducir levemente la frecuencia de entrenamiento (no más de 20 %). La duración óptima de la puesta a punto varía desde 4 días a más de 28 días. Las puestas a punto progresivas no lineales producen más beneficios para el rendimiento que las puestas a punto en escalón. El rendimiento normalmente mejora aproximadamente un 3% (generalmente entre 0,5 y 6,0%), debido a los cambios positivos en el estado cardiorrespiratorio, metabólico, hematológico, hormonal, neuromuscular y psicológico de los atletas.
