- games for specific outcomes e.g. decision making, tactical awareness
6
Q
initial planning consideration
A
- performance and fitness need (individual, team)
- schedule of events/competitions
- climate and season
7
Q
planning a training year (periodisation)
A
- phases of competition (pre season, in season and off season phases)
- subphases (macro and micro cycle)
- peaking
- tapering

- for aerobic performance (EPO)
- to mask other drugs (diuretics. alcohol )
- benefits and limitations of drug testing
11
Q
use of technology
A
- training innovation e.g. lactate threshold, biomechanical analysis
