Fitt and additional principles of training Flashcards
FITT
what is frequency
This is how many sessions a athlete has complete
FITT
what is time
How long the athlete has been training for
FITT
what is type
what training method is that athlete using
e.g circuit, sparkle, weight training
FITT
what is intensity
how hard is the athlete train
over time the intensity will increase
What is progressive overload
1 example of when this would be used
In order to progress, training needs to be demanding enough to cause the body to adapt and improve in performance
what is specificity
1 example of when this would be used
training should be specific to the individual sport
- the swimmer should train by swimming
what are individual differences/needs
1 example of when this would be used
training should be designed to meet individual training goals and needs
- the fitness of athlete = intensity of training, health status
what is an adaptation
1 example of when this would be used in training
how the body reacts to training loads by increasing its ability to cope with those loads thus body will adapt to training.
- don’t overtrain, progressive overload, so the body will improve in performance
what is reversibility
1 example of why this might happen
when training stops, training effects are reversed
- injury
what is variation
1 example of variation
to vary training and avoid boredom and to enjoy training
- change around training programme
what is specificity
1 example of when this would be used
training should be specific to the individual sport
- swimming should not be trained to an athlete who is running, instead ruuning.
what is individual differences
1 example of when this would be used
program should be designed to meet individual traning goals and needs
- heath status, fitness = increasse or decrease intensity
