The football competition period lasts 6-9 months on an annual training program. Long competitions certainly result in physical and mental fatigue in athletes. In the theory of training periodization, of course, there is a period of rest after the end of the competition (transition period) that gives athletes the opportunity to rest, psychic relaxation while maintaining optimal physical condition (Bompa & Haff, 2009). This paper seeks to review the literature relevant to the concepts and practices in the transition period. Discussion covers two main things, namely the facts that occur in the transition period and exercises sports that athletes need to do in the transition period. The results of this discussion are aimed at making athletes and coaches understand the things that occur during the transition period and what exercise practices such as what athletes need to do to prevent athletes from the potential detraining syndrome. So that in the preparation period of the new season the athletes performance level is in good condition.
