Q

Anaerobic training- what does it involve?

A

Short but high intensity bursts.

20
Q

What do rest periods in interval training allow?

A

Regain energy so they don’t get too tired and need to stop.

21
Q

Interval training- aerobic.

A

Middle distance runners- longer interval training to improve aerobic respiration.

22
Q

Interval training- anaerobic.

A

Game players- short intervals (short bursts of energy)

23
Q

Interval training- advantages.

A

Distance and times can be altered for individuals (specificity)
Can be used for both anaerobic and aerobic respiration.
Can be used for a wide range of activities (swimming, running ect.)

24
Q

Disadvantages of interval training.

A

Needs careful and accurate planning.

Can be boring.

25
Q

Fartlek training.

A

Means ‘speed play’.
Varying speeds, distances and effort.
Trains both aerobically and anaerobically because of change in intensity.

26
Q

What type of player is fartlek training ideal for?

A

Game player because of the varying pace e.g. Football.

Example session-
Vary between 10 sec sprints, 2 min jogs, uphill run and downhill run.

27
Q

Advantages of fartlek training.

A

Range of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Can be adapted to different sports.
Variety within training.

28
Q

Disadvantages of fartlek training.

A

Difficult to measure training amounts.

Needs self discipline to maintain working rates.

29
Q

Altitude training.

A

Changes air quality, terrain and heat conditions.

Causes positive adaptions to the body.

30
Q

High altitude.

A

Above sea level.

Train aerobically.

31
Q

What does altitude mean to the body.

A

Less oxygen.
Body creates more red blood cells by adapting.
Greater oxygen carrying capacity.
Altitude improves endurance levels until they return back after 20 days.

32
Q

How long does it take for the body to adapt.

A

Ruffly 21 days,

33
Q

Who is altitude training used by?

A

Long distance runners and triathletes.

34
Q

Advantages of altitude training.

A

Increase amount of red blood cells.

Increase aerobic capacity.

35
Q

Disadvantage of altitude training.

A

Very expensive.

Time consuming.

36
Q

Training year.

A

Training programme should differ throughout the year.

Winter and summer training should be different.

37
Q

A

Occurs before playing season.
Concentrate on fitness e.g. Speed, strength.
Improve skills and technique.
Intensity increased from closed season.

40
Q

Playing/ competing season.

A

Runners who compete outside.

43
Q

Advantages of warm weather training.

A

Lack of cold, ice and snow means reduce risk of injury.
Cold weather is unsuitable for some sports e.g. Tennis.
