Q

Resistance and weight training

A

Trains strength, power and endurance by manipulating sets, weight and speed
Strength
60-70% max, 8-12 reps, 1-3 sets, slow and moderate movements, 1-3 mins rest
Power
30-60% max, 3-6 reps, 1-3 sets, fast explosive movements, 2-3 mins rest
Endurance
40-60% max, 15-25 reps, 1-3 sets, slow movements, 1 min rest

Q

Plyometrics

A

Focused on muscular power
When a muscle lengthens eccentrically then rapidly contracts it releases stored energy in an explosive burst
Improves speed and agility
Harnesses stored elastic energy

Q

Circuit training

A

8-12 stations with different exercises
Laps of stations are performed
Improves overall level of fitness
Can target any fitness component

17
Q

Types of circuit training

A

Fixed time - Set time for each station
Fixed load - Set reps for each station
Individual circuit - Tailored to the individual’s fitness levels

18
Q

Overloading circuit training

A
Increase resistance
Adding stations
More laps
Increase time of stations
Increase reps in time
Reduce rest time
19
Q

Benefits of circuit training

A
Offers variety
Targets many fitness components
Accommodates large groups
Can be run with minimal equipment
Specificity can be maintained
20
Q

Flexibility training

A
Reduces the likelihood of injury
Reduces DOMS
Releases stress and tension
Improve posture
Improve sporting performance
Performed after the body is warm
21
Q

Types of stretching

A

Static - Stretch and hold, should be performed post-workout
Dynamic stretching - Moving the joint through its range of motion with controlled momentum
Ballistic stretching - Moving the joint through its range of motion with great force
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) - Muscle is moved through until a point of discomfort is reached, muscle is isometrically contracted for 6 seconds before releasing. Then the movement is repeated

22
Q

Benefits of continuous training

A

Builds a general level of fitness

Prepares the body for more advanced training techniques

23
Q

Benefits of weight training

A
Increases strength
Promotes weight loss and balance
Prevents osteoporosis
Improves psychological wellbeing
Improves dynamic stability
Foundation for speed, power and agility
24
Q

Benefits of interval training

A
Enhances quality by maintaining high work intensity
Pacing can be developed
Specific energy systems can be targeted
Can be sport specific
Enables progress to be measured
25
Q

Considerations for plyometrics

A
Need a strength base
Appropriate footwear
Low intensity before progression
Ample rest between sets
Only twice a week
