Microcycle
Short definition
Microcycle — a short training block (usually a week) alternating loads and recovery.
Full definition
A microcycle is a planning unit (typically 5–7 days) alternating training and rest days. In MIDA, sequences of microcycles drive long-term adaptation; several microcycles form a mesocycle.

Microcycle: 3 isometric sessions + 1 aerobic + 3 rest days.
