Improving Performance - CQ2 What are the considerations for improved performance Flashcards
What is the judgement statement for this critical question?
To ↑ athletes’ performance requires careful and precise planning requirements of the sport will determine the fitness needs + type of training suited for the outcome
What are the initial planning considerations？
Performance + Fitness need
Schedule of events/competition
Climate and Season
What must Initial Planning Consideration do?
Create short term goals that must link to long term goals
Is measurable (improvement is evident)
Describe the performing and fitness needs (IPC)
Based on prev season + current performance:
- Result of perf.
- Test results
- Match stats
- Using equipment to measure
- Social interaction
Both INDIVIDUAL + TEAM fitness elements are considered
What are the individual needs of performing + fitness needs?
Fitness level
Physical attributes
Game sense + tactical ability
Psychological state
Social considerations
What are the team needs of performance + fitness needs?
Establish team goal
Develop tactics
Fitness FOCUS
Organisation
Leadership
Describe the initial planning considerations of schedule of events/competition
Address comp period - players are fit and strategies are in place (peak)
Consider priorities of valuable games
Intervals of work and rest
Describe the initial planning considerations of climate and season
Seasonal variations during competition + training
- Temp
- Weather conditions
What is periodisation?
The procedure of dividing and annual coaching plan into smaller and manageable phases (pre, in, off season)
What is the judgement statements for on periodisation?
“For athletes to effectively improve and maximise optimal performance, coaches must incorporate periodisation to achieve athlete’s goals (involving periods of tapering and peaking)”
Describe the aim and goals during the pre season
Targeting predominant energy systems to their max capacities
Improve all aspects of fitness (General)
Goal setting
Development of technique and strats (specific)
↑ Volume, ↓ Intensity
Describe the aim and goals during the in season
Maintenance period of developed in pre season (body systems + fitness)
Focus on practicing tactics + strats in game like training (Game pressure + situations)
Mental rehearsal
↑ Intensity (gradually)
Describe the aim and goals during the off season
Focus on recovery + rest (first weeks)
- Overloaded energy systems
- Injuries
- Psychological
Conditioning to prep for pre season training)
- recreational activities
Diet modification
↓ volume + Intensity
What is the macrocycle?
Whole year (pre, in, off season)
Available time prior to comp
What are mesocycles?
Smaller segments of the macrocycle
Aims to improve specific elements of fitness (4-6weeks)
Opportunity to target areas in need of development
What are microcycles
Each training session and highlight specific detailed info on:
- Frequency
- Intensity
- Duration
- Skill activities
- Strength training
- Plyometrics
What is Tapering?
The reduction of volume and intensity immediately prior to comp
- Rest body + mind
- Reduces strain
- Restore energy systems
- ↑ Glycogen stores
- ↓ anxiety levels
What is peaking?
Temporary phase where perf is optimised to meet demands
Gradual ↑ of v+i
What are the physiological aspects of peaking?
Excellent health
↑ recovery rate
Optimal body system function
What are the psychological aspects of peaking?
↑ Mental alertness + readiness
↑ confidence + motivation
↑ Adaptability
