Core 2 - Factors affecting performance Flashcards
types of training and training methods
- aerobic eg. FAICC
- anaerobic eg. anaerobic interval
- flexibility eg. ballistic, static, PNF, dynamic
strength eg. free/fixed weights, elastic, hydraulic
continuous training
- HR elevated (70-85% MHR), maintained above aerobic threshold and sustained for over 20min - no rest intervals
eg. jogging, cycling
fartlek
- involves continuous effort with periods of high intensity followed by active recovery period
- beneficial for pre-season training and in prep for activities requiring interchange of systems
aerobic interval
- breakdown of training period into intervals of exercise, followed by intervals of complete rest (should be active to rid of lactic acid)
- moderate duration, high intensity (80-95% of MHR)
circuit training
arrangement of exercises requiring athlete to spend time completing each exercise before moving on
- large improvements in muscular endurance, strength and flexibility
anaerobic interval
- intervals range between 10s and 2m with work to rest ratio of 1:3
- performed in sets of reps designed to overload anaerobic energy systems
- commonly aims to improve speed
flexibility
ability of joints to bend, stretch and twist through ROM without injury
benefits of flexibility
prevents injury, muscle soreness, improves body’s mechanical efficiency, reduces tightening of muscles, improves coordination
static stretching
- gradual lengthening of muscles to its end point for 10-30s
- slow, sustained, safe and effective overcoming stretch reflex
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretch (PNF stretch)
- gentle static stretch (10-15s) followed by isometric contraction against resistance (10s)
- eg. lying quadriceps stretch
ballistic stretching
- stretching muscle to end point then overstretching through bouncing
eg. high legs for hammies
dynamic stretching
- stretches muscle groups crossing over joints
- eg. leg swings.
fixed weights
lifting weights at specific loads and performing certain number of reps and sets
adv. of fixed weights
- easy to do
- cheap
- develops strength around full rom
- progressive overload easy to adminster
disadv. of fixed weights
- can produce muscle soreness
elastic/resistance strength training
use of elastic bands to provide resistance
adv. of elastic strength training
- easy to use, lightweight, portable
- cheap
- develops strength around full rom
- can imitate movements specific to sport
hydraulic strength training
- machines providing artificial resistance through fluid dynamics and use of hydraulic oil
adv. of hydraulic training
- safe
- no need for spotter
- resistance easily altered by how hard one works
- resistance matched to strength of user
principles of training
RSVP within time
progressive overload
training effect when system or tissue is worked harder than accustomed to
how progressive overload achieved (aerobic, strength ,flexibility)
- aerobic training: increasing intensity, frequency, duration, training
- strength, increasing sets, reps, decrease rest times
- flexibility: increase stretch
