Q

training thresholds for strength training

A

IN STRENGTH TRAINING:
Depending on the type of strength training that is being performed (absolute strength, power, muscular endurance, lean body mass) vary level of intensity.
Absolute strength requires a very high intensity (resistance) as few repetitions are performed  targets anaerobic
Muscular endurance has a lower intensity (resistance) so more repetitions can be performed  Targets aerobic

warm up/cool down in AEROBIC training

A

Large muscle group aerobic activities are required to warm up, such as jogging, swimming, rowing, cycling stretching, both static and dynamic, are needed of the large muscle groups involved
Specific warm up involving the major muscle groups is then followed by activities such as calisthenics (push-ups, star jumps) and other movements specific to the activity
Stretching and low intensity aerobic work for a cool down.

Q

RESTING HEART RATE: training principles

A

Specificity: Exercises must be specific to the energy system and training threshold the athlete is trying to achieve, activities must be aerobic in nature – and follow the FITT principle.

Progressive Overload – the heart must be overloaded in order for improvements to occur, overload should be either in intensity or duration. To improve and decrease heart rate the athlete should ensure they overload the body on a regular basis by doing aerobic training.

Training thresholds – Training thresholds must be reached in the aerobic training zone (dependant on the sport) in order for SV and CO to increase

Reversibility – If training ceases, gains will be lost, training must be continuous for at minimum of 10 – 12 weeks.

Variety – In order to reduce and decrease injury boredom the athlete must have variety – fartlek, Circuit, interval or continuous training

Warm-up / Cool Down – essential prior to aerobic training

Q

how does a lower RHR improve performance

A

Having a lower RHR and a lower sub maximal HR simply means that more work can be done at the same intensity or the same work can be done with less effort.
Also having a lower HR means that your body is more efficient at maximal exercise, it is particularly good as it means the heart rate spike is lower as the trained athlete can pump more blood.

Q

STROKE VOLUME AND CARDIAC OUTPUT training principles

A

Specificity: Exercises must be specific to the energy system and training threshold the athlete is trying to achieve, activities must be aerobic in nature – and follow the FITT principle.

Progressive Overload – the heart must be overloaded in order for improvements to occur, overload should be either in intensity or duration. To improve and increase the size and strength of the left ventricle the athlete should ensure they overload the body on a regular basis by doing aerobic training.

Training thresholds – Training thresholds must be reached in either the aerobic or anaerobic training zone (dependant on the sport) in order for heart rate to be reduced.

Reversibility – If training ceases, gains will be lost, training must be continuous for at minimum of 10 – 12 weeks.

Variety – In order to reduce and decrease injury boredom the athlete must have variety – fartlek, Circuit, interval or continuous training

Q

fast/slow twitch muscle fibres Physiological response

A

Fast twitch fibres have a rapid ATP generation rate these fibres fatigue quickly but allow for more explosive efforts. ANAEROBIC - WHITE

Slow twitch fibres – are more efficient and generate a slower output of effort, these contain a high amount of capillaries and can generate large amounts of ATP slowly. AEROBIC - RED

There is an increase of slow twitch fibres from aerobic training and an increase of fast twitch fibres from anaerobic interval style training or resistance training.

Aerobic training encourages the production of capillaries (which transfer O2) as O2 is required during the aerobic process.

Anaerobic training encourages rapid production of ATP-PC or LACTIC SYSTEM, not requiring O2 and therefore capillaries do not increase.

cool down

hydration

206
Q

what is the aim of physiological recovery

A

= to restore depleted fluids and nutrients used up in physical activity and to remove metabolic waste products from the muscles blood system

207
Q

what is the most effective form of player recovery?

A

cool down

208
Q

cool down as a physiological strategy

A

COOL DOWN - easiest and most effective form of player recovery

  • Helps reduce core body temperature, blood pressure, HR to the pre-performance state, waste products and toxins are generated during physical activity (e.g. lactic acid) are removed, and potential of DOMs is decreased.
  • Without an effective cool down the athlete can be hyperactive, restless and sleep poorly due to the circulating adrenaline and endorphins.
  • Ideal to complete static stretching to improve ROM
209
Q

hydration as a physiological strategy

A
  • The consumption of enough liquid after competition to replace any fluids lost during training or competition
  • Dehydration slows down recovery processes

213
Q

what does hydrotherapy include

A
  • Involves contrast-water therapy (CWT), cold water immersion & hot water immersion
214
Q

what is the body’s response to water immersion

A

changes in HR, Bp and blood flow

215
Q

affect of cold water on the body as a neural strategy

A

causes the athletes core body temperature to decline, which reduces tissue temperature, resulting in vasoconstriction to the athletes extremities as the body attempts to conserve energy and leading to a reduction of HR.  AIS has their cold water immersion pool @ 10-15 degrees.  reduces inflammation, muscle pain and cramping

216
Q

affect of warm water on the body as a neural strategy

A

exposes the body to heat (resulting in vasodilation) and redirects blood flow to the surface of the epidermis  ↑blood flow = ↓ blood pressure  rarely used at the AIS

217
Q

affect of contrast water therapy on the body as a neural strategy

A

enables both vasoconstriction and vasodilation creating rhymitic process that flushes the waste products from the muscles in a highly effective manner, reduces muscle cramps, decreases inflammation and improves Rom and flexibility during recovery

218
Q

why is massage used

A

to manage micro tears in muscles, resulting in an increased inflammatory response that impedes the athletes muscular functions

219
Q

benefits of massage

A
  • Massage benefits: removal of waste products, increased nutrient delivery, mental relaxation and minimising the effects of fatigue.  not supported by evidence
220
Q

223
Q

cryotherapy: ice packs

A
  • ICEPACKS = placed directly over an injury speed up recovery and should be used over 24-48 hours for soft tissue injuries - decreases the demand for O2 and decreases waste products
224
Q

cryotherapy: cold water immersion

A

e.g. ice bath - reduces fluid build-up in the body caused by tissue damaged in exercise.

225
Q

cryotherapy: cryogenic chambers

A
  • CRYOGENIC CHAMBERS are cooled to 110 degrees and athletes enter them for a short period of time. - reduce body temper in order to release endorphins, which relieve pain
226
Q

psychological strategies aim is…

A

PSYCHOLOGICAL STRATEGIES AIM to reduce anxiety in order to allow the brain to relax, can be used to focus the athletes thoughts on the upcoming event.

227
Q
