32
Q

Principles of training

A

SPORT

FITT

33
Q

What does SPORT stand for

A

SPECIFICITY-making training similar to movements in a certain sport
PROGRESSIVE
OVERLOAD-gradually increase overload to get fitness gains
REVERSIBILITY-fitness levels lost when stop exercising
TEDIUM-boredom that can occur from training the same way

34
Q

What does FITT stand for

A

FREQUENCY- how often you train
INTENSITY - how hard you train (weight lifted)
TIME - how long you train for on each exercise
TYPE - different methods of training

35
Q

Training threshold

A

Upper and lower boundary of the aerobic and anaerobic training zones

36
Q

Aerobic training zone

A

Allows the performer to develop their ability to work aerobically. 60-80% of max heart rate

37
Q

Anaerobic training zone

A

Allows performer to develop ability to work anaerobically. 80-90% of max heart rate

38
Q

Circuit training

A

Series of exercises or stations completed one after each other with short periods of rest

39
Q

Continuous training

A

Working for a sustained period of time without rest. Maintaining a steady pace and working in the aerobic zone for a minimum of 20mins

40
Q

HIIT & interval training

A

Alternating between period of rest and periods of work

HIIT = short anaerobic work and active aerobic recovery

41
Q

Fartlek training

A

Speed play. Form of interval training with fast work followed by slow work

42
Q

Static stretching

A

Holding a stretch for up to 30secs. Muscles contract isometrically and stay the same length for the stretch

43
Q

Weight training

A

Using weights or resistance to cause adaptations of muscles.

Free weights & resistance machines

44
Q

Plyometric training

A

High impact exercises that teach muscles to perform maximum contractions faster = more power

45
Q

High altitude training

A

A form of aerobic training which is carried out at above 2000m ASL where there’s less oxygen.

46
Q

Ways or preventing injury

A
  1. Don’t over train. 2. Stretch. 3. Use correct technique. 4. Rest and recover. 5. Stay hydrated. 6. Warm up and cool down. 7. Use taping and bracing. 9. Match training to performers needs
47
Q

Pre-season focuses

A
  1. General aerobic fitness
  2. General strength and muscular endurance
  3. Train essential components of fitness
  4. Practise skills and techniques required
48
Q

Competitive/peak season

A
  1. Maintain fitness levels
  2. Avoid over training
  3. Optimising skills and techniques
49
Q

Post-season

A
  1. Rest and recover

2. Light aerobic training maintain fitness

50
Q

What does a warm up do?

A
  1. Raises body temperatures
  2. Increase range of movement at joints used
  3. Increase oxygen delivered to working muscles
  4. Prepares body for physical activity
51
Q

What does a warm up consist of?

A
  1. Pulse raiser - increase heart rate and blow flow
  2. Stretching - decrease chance of pulling muscles
  3. Skill practice - familiarise body with movements in sport
  4. Mental preparation - focus performer on sport
52
Q

What is a cool down used for

A
  1. Allows body systems to recover
  2. Reduces heart and breathing rate
  3. Removes waste products (lactic acid and carbon dioxide)
  4. Prevents Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
53
Q

What does a cool down consist of

A
  1. Pulse lowering - light exercise

2. Stretching - holding each for 10-30secs
