1.2 Exercise Physiology (Preparation and Training Methods) Flashcards
Principles of training
Used to help you make a good well rounded training plan
MRS VOP
J
Moderation
Training must be appropriate for the performer to adapt while maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle
Reversability
Training must be maintained to prevent deterioration in performance
Specificity
Training should be relevant and appropriate for the individual, sport, energy system, muscle fibre type and movement pattern
Variance
Training includes a range of exercises and activities to prevent boredom, maintain motivation and limit overuse injuries
Overload
Training intensity should be above the performer’s comfort zone to place a stress on the body to force an adaptation
Progression
Training demand should gradually increase over time to ensure the performer adapts and improves
Adaptation
A physiological change in response to training
FIIT
Component parts of the principle of overload; Frequency, intensity, time and types of training
Periodisation
The organised division of training into blocks, each with a goal and time-frame
Macro-cycle
A long-term training plan, typically over one year, to achieve a long-term goal
Meso-cycle
A mid-term training plan, typically six weeks, to achieve a mid-term goal
Micro-cycle
A short term training plan, typically one week, to achieve a short-term goal

Tapering
Maintaining the intensity but decreasing the volume of training by one third to prepare for competition
Aerobic capacity
The ability of the body to inspire, transport and utilise oxygen to perform sustained periods of aerobic activity
VO2 max
Maximum volume of oxygen inspired, transported and utilised per minute during exhaustive exercise
Capillarisation
The formation and development of a network of capillaries to a part of the body, increased through aerobic training
Aerobic capacity tests
Direct gas analysis, 12 minute Cooper run, Queen’s Collage step test, NCF multi-stage fitness test
Heart rate training zones
