French term or phrase: découpage

In the following sentence: "Voici un decoupage (sur six jours) pour developper force et endurance musculaire ...

Premier jour: travailler sur les pectoraux etc.

I'm unsure whether this means "an extract" i.e. this is an extract (from an exercise programme) or whether it's more of a "breakdown" of an exercise programme.

All comments gratefully received.
