Chapter 10 - Training methods and principles Flashcards
4 factors that’s must be identified to make the training program “specific”.
Skills
Muscle groups
Energy Systems
Components of fitness
What are the 5 main training principles?
Specificity Intensity Duration Overload (progressive) Frequency
% Vo2 max targeted for:
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Aerobic: 55-75%
Anaerobic: 75%+
% max HR targeted for: Recovery Aerobic Anaerobic Glycolysis ATP - PC
Recovery: <70%
Aerobic: 70-85%
Anaerobic Glycolysis: 85-95%
ATP - PC: 95%
What must you consider when overloading?
Overload one variable by a maximal of 10%
Initial fitness of athlete
What is periodisation in terms of training principles
Organisation of training into man gable blocks or periods of time taking into account competition.
What is Tapering in terms of training principles?
Reduction in training levels to minimise effects of residue fatigue.
What is peaking in terms of training principles.
Organisation of training to ensure athlete is at optimal physiological state pre-event.
Why must you overload training programs?
Otherwise the improvements caused from chronic training adaptations will plateau.
How often should aerobic training occur for improvement?
3+ times a week
How often should anaerobic training occur for improvement?
Speed, power, strength ect.
3-4 times a week
How often should any training occur for maintenance.
1-2 times a week
What is detraining?
After training is terminated there is a rapid return to pre training fitness.
How can you apply individuality when constructing a training program.
Take into account:
Initial fitness
Genetic predisposition
Illness/injury
What is the principle of diminishing returns?
As a person becomes closer to reaching their generic potential, the rate of improvement slows.
Why is variety important in a training program?
Helps to mentally stimulate the performer.
How long must a training session last for?
At least 20-30 minutes?
