Abstract in brief
- This meta-analysis examined how different tapering strategies—reducing training intensity, volume, and frequency—affect athletic performance, focusing on competitive athletes.
- The study found that a 2-week taper with an exponential reduction in training volume by 41-60% was the most effective way to improve performance, with this approach showing the strongest overall effect.
- The research offers a useful framework for athletes, coaches, and sport scientists to optimize tapering plans and maximize athletic performance before competitions.
