F.P q.17 Flashcards
what are the principles of training:
progressive overload, reversibility, variety, specificity, training thresholds and warm up cool down
What is progressive overload?
Gradual changes in the exercise load until athletes see adaptations and alter the factors; adjustments in reps, resistance, sets or rest to allow improvements
why is it adjustments and not increase for progressive overload
athletes should gradually adjust each factor according to their respective sports, such as training for an anaerobic based event
Using the example for progressive overload what can you increase? principles of training- anaerobic
e.g Reps 10 and load 10 whilst keeping rest period to 60s at faster speed for anaerobic based events
Advantages of progressive overload?
Improve performance periodically and skill without sustaining overwork and injuries
What is specificity?
Training muscle groups specific to the energy systems and skills required in a sport
Relate to a bench press: specificity
clue: centralising around which muscles?
focus specifically on resistance training i.e centralised around building pectorals, shoulders, triceps and biceps through push ups or inclinations to build muscle in the chest
what is reversibility?
When athletes do not partake in training due to recovery or off season periods— causes loss of adaptations and atrophy to occur
what happens to reversibility on a bench press:
Bench press is resistance training and will occur after 2 weeks but can rebuild by changing the factors
Example of reversibilty in a bench press—
e.g reducing the sets and speed but maintaining the load and reps to open opportunities to train in another threshold
What is variety?
Implementing a range of training methods to prevent boredom and develop skills holistically in different muscle groups
example of variety to bench press:
doing on an incline, decline or flat to allow change in specific areas of the body— decline will develop the lower pectorals to allow advantages in performance
what are training thresholds?
Will narrow down the training required for the sport such as training in aerobic or anaerobic thresholds will alter the facotes
Example for training thresholds?
For aerobic; increase in massed training but less rest or anaerobic; high intensity training and increased in rest for recovery of atp and energy
warm up?
Low intensity exercises to increase respiratory and heart rates to allow blood flow to muscle groups— decrease risk of injury by improving joint mobility
