Lecture 11: Resistance training: variables of program design Flashcards
7 variables of program design
- Needs analysis
- Exercise selection
- Training frequency
- Exercise order
- Training load and repetitions
- Volume
- Rest periods
What should the needs analysis assess?
- Biodynamics
- Bioenergetics
- Biomotor
- Injury patterns
Biodynamics that should be assessed with needs analysis
Specific body positions by sport position
Posture required
Shapes required for successful execution
Dynamic correspondence
Bioenergetics that should be assessed with needs analysis
Energy system utilization
Work to rest ratio
Biomotor qualities that should be assessed with needs analysis
Speed, power, stength, stamina
Injury patterns that should be assessed with needs analysis
Common injuries by position in sport
What occurs when injury happens (position, contact, muscle contraction)
ex. rugby neck
How can we learn about the game demands?
Watch the sport
Ask the athlete
Ask other S&C coaches/ sport science
Play the sport
Ask the coach
Read the research
Collect and analyze data
Needs analysis: individualization
Classifying resistance training status to determine training frequency and stress
Training age of a beginner
<2 months
Training frequency for a beginner
<1-2 times per week
Training age of an intermediate
2-6 months
Training frequency for intermediate
<2-3 times per week
Training age of advanced
> 1 year
Needs analysis: Annual plan for general population clients
Basics with slow progressions
Needs analysis: Annual plan for sport
Understand where strength and conditioning fits in the phase
Off season resistance training goal
Low sport practice and high RT
Hypertrophy and muscular endurance, strength and power
Pre-season resistance training goal
Medium sport practice and RT
Sport and movement specific
In-season resistance training goal
High sport practice and low RT
Maintenance of preseason training goal
Postseason resistance training goal
Not specific
Exercise selection
S- specific
A- adaptation to
I- impose
D- demands
General preparatory exercise
Do not imitate competitive event and do not train their specific systems, general coordination and recovery
Specific preparatory exercise
Do not imitate movement of competitive event but train the same major muscle groups and physiological systems
ex.pause back squat for rugby players
Specific development exercises
Refers to the exercises that repeat the competitive event in training but in its separate parts and may include resistance or specific strength exercises
ex. rugby-sled push, isometric push
Competitive exercise
Identical or almost identical to the competition event
ie.rugby scrimmage
