Question 1

strength training.

Answer 1

multiple variations of sets, reps, intensity, recovery. depends on what you are trying to achieve and who you are.

Question 2

determinants of strength (& power) (4)

Answer 2

1. Leverage and muscle insertions (moment arms)
2. Muscle Size & architecture (cross-sectional area, pennation angles, fascicles lengths)
3. Ability to activate muscle (NS development, hormone status etc)
4. Muscle fibre type (fast or slow twitch)

Question 2

6 possible training adaptations

Answer 2

training age, recovery, response to load, mental aspects, maturity and injury/illness

Question 3

interference in training

Answer 3

How to maximise adaptation to, and minimise conflict between, strength and endurance training that must occur concurrently. Sequencing and timing of all fitness components within each training phase should be considered.

Question 4

what is a prescription

Answer 4

an educated hypothesis. Training is an experiment. It takes years to build relationships.
Years to get to know an athlete and for them to know you and it constantly evolves.

Question 5

what is overshooting

Answer 5

applying more force and generating more power at higher velocities.

Question 6

overload factors to consider

Answer 6

Frequency (How many times depends on other principles)
Intensity (% of RM)
Contraction type (Iso/Con/Ecc)
Volume (inverse with intensity - # of sets/reps exercises)
Density (work completed in a known time)

Question 7

periodisation

Answer 7

make training an objective process.
simply by dividing an athletes training programme into a number of periods of time, each with a specific goal.
