24
Q

List the training principles

A
  • Specificity
  • Progressive overload
  • Variety
  • Reversibility
25
Q

What are the principles of SAID

A
  • Specific
  • Adaptations
  • Imposed
  • Demands
26
Q

What are the variables that can be progressively overloaded?

A
  • Sets, repetitions, load
  • Training frequency
  • Technical demands
  • Total training time
27
Q

What is the purpose of progressive overloading?

A

To continue to make adaptations by increasing training demand

28
Q

What is the purpose of providing variety in training?

A

To enhance adaptations and increase enjoyment

29
Q

What training element are usually varied in programming?

A
  • Sets, repetitions, load
  • Tempo
  • Exercise
30
Q

Describe a typical program structure

A

  • Assistance Lifts
  • Rotator Cuff and Trunk Stability (+Conditioning)
31
Q

Why are power exercises and maximal strength exercises performed at the start of a program?

A
  • Must be fresh to maximise adaptations

* Greatest injury risk if not performed correctly/fresh

32
Q

What is the purpose of a needs analysis?

A

To decide what the key focus of a training program is

33
Q

List three considerations of a needs analysis

A
  • Athlete/client’s goals
  • Training age/stage
  • Physical and physiological profiling
34
Q

What are the five stages/levels for training ASCA recognises?

A

1) Introduction to bodyweight exercises - competency
2) Loading bodyweight exercises with soft resistances - adaptations
3) Introduction to barbell exercises - competency
4) Loading and variety of barbell exercises - adaptations
5) Addition of more advanced loading strategies –more advanced adaptations
6) More individual and specific loading strategies/exercises

35
Q

What elements are assessed during physical and physiological profiling

A
  • Range of motion
  • Strength & power
  • Energy systems
  • Injury history
36
Q

What sport/activity considerations are applicable during a needs analysis?

A
  • Movement patterns of the sport/activity
  • Physical and physiological requirements
  • Common injury sites and mechanisms
37
