Q

Validity

A

The degrees to which a test measures what it measure

32
Q

Reliability

A

The ability of a test to produce consistent and repeatable results

33
Q

Accuracy

A

The ability of a test to produce exact results

34
Q

Training principles

A

Specificity, Intensity, Duration, Overload, Frequency

35
Q

Specificity definition

A

The foundation of any training program for an athlete to achieve maximal benefits

36
Q

Intensity definition

A

The level of exertion being applied to an activity

37
Q

Duration definition.

A

The amount of times spent whilst engaging in physical activity

38
Q

Overload definition

A

A planned increase in training stimulus to cause a positive long term adaptation.

39
Q

Frequency definition

A

The amount of times a person is physically active for in a set period of time

40
Q

Variety

A

Helps mentally motivate a performer who is becoming bored with a program.
Also may lead to enhanced improvement though the application of a different training stimulus

41
Q

Detraining

A

The termination of training due to illness, Injury or boredom and the corresponding and rapid return to pre training levels

42
Q

Maintenance

A

Fitness gains can be maintained by training twice a week

43
Q

Individuality

A

Individuals respond differently to a similar training stimulus.
Reasons for this are, genetic predisposition, initial fitness levels, preparedness, adaptive responses

44
Q

Diminishing returns

A

Everyone has a genetic potential for fitness.
An untrained athlete will show greater initial improvements.
As a performer gets closer to their ultimate potential the rate of improvement slows down

45
Q

Tapering

A

The reduction in training volume before a competition.
Enables a performer to minimise the effects of any residual fatigue fro, their training so they feel recharged.
Only volume is reduced, intensity will remain relatively constant to maintain specificity

46
Q

Periodisation cycle

A

Macrocycles, mesocycles and microcycles

47
Q

Macrocycle

A

A long training period (12months)

48
Q

Mesocycle

A

A segment of a macrocyle (3-6 weeks)

49
Q

Microcycle

A

A smaller segment of a mesocycle (5-10 days, usually 7)

50
Q

Training zones

Intensity

A
Aerobic: 70-85% max HR 
Anaerobic glycolysis: 85+% max HR
