Healthy active lifestyle 1.1.4 Flashcards
4 principles of training (S.P.I.R)
- Specificity
- Progressive overload
- Individual differences/needs
- Rest and recovery
Specificity
- E.g. rowing
- Type of fitness: Cardiovascular
- Muscles involved: Legs, core, back and arms
Progressive overload
- Increasing the intensity of working over time as the body adapts to the new levels of fitness
- Must increase:
- Intensity (harder, faster, heavier (e.g weights)
- Frequency (more often)
- Duration (longer time periods)
Individual needs
-Every athlete is different even if they participate in the same sports. Factors affecting their needs: -Level of fitness -Age -Gender -Ability
Rest and recovery
-Ensuring each athlete has the same amount of recovery between exercise allowing the muscles to relax and the body can recover also preventing injury
FITT principle
- Frequency (how often)
- Intensity (how hard)
- Time (how long)
- Type (how must be sustained)
Goal setting SMART principle
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable
- Realistic
- Time bound
Methods of training
- Continuous (aerobic with oxygen) e.g cross country
- Cross training e.g training at a gym on machines
- Fartlek e.g varying the speed or terrain e.g run across the field walk across the pavement, jog up the hill etc..
- Circuit e.g different stations where you spend a certain time working there or doing a number of reps
- Interval training e.g 8x500m sprints with a 1 minute 30 rest in-between each piece (recovery)
- Weight training (anaerobic without oxygen)
Weight training meaning of Isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic contraction
- Isotonic= The muscle shortens and lengthens during contraction e.g bicep curls
- Isometric= Muscle length remains the same during contraction e.g plank (WITHOUT MOVEMENT!)
- Isokinetic= Use of machines to ensure the muscle shortens and lengthens at a constant speed during contraction e.g seated leg extension
Isotonic advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
-Developed to suit a specific sport
-Develops strength throughout whole range of movement
Disadvantages:
-Make muscles sore
-If performed wrong then injury ma bye caused
Isometric advantages and disadvantages
Advantages: -Cheap way to train no equipment needed -Develops static strength Disadvantages: -Not specific to sport -Muscles only gain strength at the angle of contraction rather than through the range of movement
Isokinetic advantages and disadvantages
- Advantages:
- The muscles work evenly
- Fastest way to increase strength
Reps
The number of times/repetitions that you lift the weights
Sets
Number of times you repeat the cycle e.g 3x5
Types of strength
- Static e.g weight lifter
- Dynamic e.g rower
- Explosive e.g long jumper
