Running
Cycling
Swimming
Rowing
Give some training types for developing muscular fitness
Sit ups
Press ups
Star jumps
Define intensity
How hard you work
Define work Time
How long you work
Define recovery time
How long you recover
Define repetition
A short burst of work or an exercise performed once
Define set
The number of religions completed in a row before a significant rest/recovery period is taken
Give the work to rest ratio for interval training
2:1
Give the work to rest ratio for harder exercise
1:4
What are the 4 methods for training aerobic or anaerobic fitness
Continuous Steady Pace (CSP)
Fartlek training
Interval training
Circuit training
What is CSP
Used for aerobic fitness
Involves continuous work at a steady rate. Once the heart rate reaches the desired intensity (%MHR) it is then maintained at that intensity for a period of time (usually 30 mins +)
Give some examples of CSP in sports
Games player Long distance runners Endurance cyclers/swimmers Boxers Fitness for health
What are the advantages of CSP
Good for big groups of people
Very specific to endurance performers
Easy to monitor improvements
Used a lot in preparation of games players throughout preseason
Disadvantages of CSP
Boring
No skill work
Will have to add sprints of games played
How to avoid tedium when training CSP
Different environments
With different people
With music
What is fartlek training
Swedish work for speed play
Mainly used to develop aerobic fitness but some anaerobic benefit also. Beneficial for players in team games
Disadvantages of fartlek
Athlete decides on speed
They don’t know how hard they are working
If person isn’t feeling well eg tedium, lack of motivation it’s a waste of time as mo improvement
Describe the CSP graph
Goes up a little then plateaus for a while before dropping back to normal
Describe the graph for fartlek
Up and down randomly
What is interval training
Can be used to develop aerobic or anaerobic fitness
Intensity, recovery time and number of reps decided in advance
Example of interval training
Run 200m in 25 seconds, followed by 2 minutes recovery x 5 times
Describe the graph for interval training
Equal periods of high intensity
Each raise in intensity is a rep
If all are equal then it is interval
advantages of interval training
Good for cycling, swimming
Very adaptable
Can be made specific for many different sports
How to vary interval training
Different distance/intensity/time to reflect training goal
Disadvantages of interval training
Could be tedium
Have to have knowledge to plan session
What is RPE
Rate of Perceived Exhaustion
Give the stats for an aerobic interval training session
Intensity- 70-90% MHR/ RPE 8/10 Time - 90 seconds approx Repetitions - 15-20 Work to rest ratio - 1:1 Sets - 2 Rest between sets - short
Give the stats for an anaerobic interval training session
Intensity + 90% MHR/ RPE 9 or 10/10 Time - 30 seconds approx Repetitions - 3-4 Work to rest ratio - 1:4 Sets - 4 Rest between sets - longer
What is circuit training
Can be used to develop aerobic or anaerobic fitness
Consists of a number of exercises being done in a sequence with a break between each exercise. This = one circuit. A break can be taken before repeating the circuit again
Normally 2-3 circuits
How many stations could a circuit training session have up to
