lecture 3- training and periodization Flashcards
roles and responsibilities of the coach
- overall aim: foster participant’s healthy development
athlete, patient, client outcomes (4 C’s)
- competence
- confidence
- correction
- character/caring
athlete, patient, client outcomes (4 C’s)- competence
- technical skill development… quality repetition
athlete, patient, client outcomes (4 C’s)- confidence
- positive self-worth and self-efficiency… perceived confidence
athlete, patient, client outcomes (4 C’s)- correction
- self and others–> enhancing sense of belonging
athlete, patient, client outcomes (4 C’s)- character/caring
- moral development, integrity, self-respect
- access for all, tolerance of differences
forms of coaching:
- instructor/teacher
- participation coach
- performance/development
- coaching development
instructor/teacher
- basic instructions to beginners–> rehab
participation coach
- low-level competition, intramural
- participation over performance ***
- goal is to maximize the number of people engaged in recreational activities or even taking recreational activities up to a low-level competition
performance/development
- clubs, high school, academies
- successful performance over participation
coaching development
- commitment to life-long learning
- always know more about the activity than the A/P/C
- not super necessary to know everything but over time you gain knowledge
Principles of Training- planning
- failing to plan is planning to fail
- plan ahead for success; no plan is needed for failure
- planning is key to success in everything
training principles: overload
- triggering physiological accommodations
- short term changes in physiological and physical profile
- how? apply a volume and/or intensity to trigger these physiological accommodations
training principles: recovery
- very important
- purpose is to allow physiological restoration*
- overload causes stress, when we remove the stress we need to allow the body to heal from it
- need recovery within and between sessions
- diet? - protein vs carbs? meal timing? - ensure a consistent balance between the 2 and provide the body with these 2 important macro-nutrients, particularly after training sessions
3) specificity
- reductionist approach
- breaking down complex movements. into parts
- focused development on individual parts
- isolated focus on a particular skill or task
Cross training
- non-specific training–runners will cycle/swim
- injury recovery, variety, fitness maintenance
training principles: reversibility
- de-training response, enforced rest
- due to injury, illness, transition phase (phase that occurs between the end of a competition phase and the beginning of the next season/prep phase)
- goal: minimize reduction in fitness… strength, endurance, etc
training principles: individuality
- NOT time efficient for team sports
- catering a program that suits the specific APC
- what works for one person may not work for another person
- focus on one person takes time
- key considerations:
- recovery dynamics
- initial fitness level prior to program
- response to environment (altitude, temp) - everyone responds differently
- nutritional preferences
- previous/existing injuries
periodization objectives
- strategic planning
- training monitoring
- “period” …describing a portion or division of time
- establishing phases of training that are centered around physical and physiological development
- focus –> biomotor abilities; development of strength, endurance, speed, flexibility
Phases of periodization
1) preparation
2) competition - athletes engage in games, tournaments, meets, etc,
3) transitions: after competitions have ended, it transitions the athlete into the next preparation phase for the next competitive season
periodization; lognest vs shortest periods
- the longest phase is the preparatory phase
- the shortest phase is the transition phase
periodization phases; preparation
- general preparation: physical fitness foundation
- specific preparation: transition from general exercises to exercise that start to mimimic development of skills for specific competitive phases
periodization phases; competition (pre-comp)
- pre-competition: training starts to take on a pattern that mimics the actual task completed in the competitive phase
periodization phases; competition - competitive
- competitive: defined by the maintenance of the fitness that was developed primarily in the prep phase and transitioned into sport specific fitness levels
periodization phases; transition
- period of de-training–> volume and intensity are decreased, but not eliminated
microcycles
- length: ~1 week
- shortest intervals of time
- a number of microcycles= macrocycle
macrocycle
- short series of training cycles (~3-6 weeks)
periodization- gen prep, spec. prep, pre comp, main comp, and transition (intensity)
- intensity is lowest at prep phase- as training continues to move, intensity increases
- as volume decreases, intensity increases and technical focus also increases
- technical ability needs to increase so they can peak at just the right time (end of competitive phase)
periodization principles: 4 levels of preparation.
1) physical
- development of biomotor abilities
- objective is to increase work capacity/functional potential
- foundation: general prep phase
- maximize volume and work capacity
periodization principles: 4 levels of preparation.
2) technical
- skill acquisitions and development–> high efficiency
- ex; cyclical activities… efficiency and long-term energy turnover
- ensure task becomes biomechanically sound
- physiologically efficient so when an athlete is executing some type of skill, not engaging in extraneous movement, that cost of energy isn’t contributing to the overall task being performed
- efficient= energy turnover is maximally dedicated to fuelling intended tasks
- managing fatigue better
- learning and skill formation
