Q

Name the 8 principles of training

A

-specificity- training should be relevant and appropriate for the individual sport, energy system, muscle fibre and movement pattern

-progression- training demand should gradually increase over time to ensure performer adapts and improves

-overload- training intensity should be above the performers comfort zone to place stress on the body to force an adaption

-variance- training includes a range of exercises and activities to prevent boredom, maintain motivation and limit overuse injuries

-moderation- training must be appropriate for the performer to adapt while maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle; if trainings too intense & too freqeunt -> training qaulity decreases, burnout can occur; if training doesn’t overload -> may be no adaptation or improvement

-reversibility- training must be maintained to prevent detorioration in performance. Through injury or off-season, losses in aerobic capacity are rapid and at a slower rate, strength will also decrease

Q

Name 3 components to consider when designing a training programme

A

-test- training intesity will be set based upon results from an appropriate evaluation test- e.g. the multi-stage fitness test for aerobic capacity. Progression can also be monitored by performing mid-programme tests and post-programme tests

-warm-up- training sessions must begin with a warm-up. Pulse raising activity and mobility exercises will prepare the body for exercise and reduce the risk of injury

-cool-down- training sessions must end with a cool-down. Pulse-lowering activity & stretching will prepare body for rest
