SMART goals
Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-bound
Principles of training
Specificity
Progressive overload
Individual needs
FITT (frequency, intensity, time type)
Overtraining
Training beyond your ability to recover
Reversibility
Means gradualy losing fitness rather than gaining
Comtinuous training
Working the entire body for a long period of time
Farklek
A method of training where the terrain amd speed are constantly changing
Circuit training
A series of exercises completed for a certain ammount of time/reps, after one another
Interval training
Physical training involving alternating stages of high and low intensity activity
Plyometrics training
Exercises where muscles use maximum force in shortintervals of time
Weight training
Involves shifting weight to increse the strength of the muscle using a programme of exercises
Concussion
This is an injurynormally caused by a blow to the head
What are the different type of fractures
Compound
Simple
Stress
closed
Compund fracture
The broken bone is shown through the skin
Simple fractures
Takes place in one line, with no displacement of the bone
Stress fractures
(Overuse injury) this can be caused by fatigue
Dislocations
This is when a joint is forced out of it’s normal position
Torn cartilage
Cartilage is a firm elastic substance which lines adjoining bones
Torn cartilage often occur through wear and tear from overuse injury
Soft tussue injury
Joints are where two or more bones meet. They are particular prone injury because movement past the range can tear or pull tendons and ligaments.
Strains
A strain is a twist, pull or tear of a muscle or a tendon
Sprains
