A

Guidelines that, if applied, ensure that training is effective and results in adaptations to your body

42
Q

Specificity

A

The fact that training should be specific to the needs of the individual and the demands of the sport they take part in. Any training done should be specific to the individual muscles used and the energy demands of the activity they take part in.

43
Q

Example of specificity

A

A sprinter would use weight, HIIT/ Speed/ reaction time/technique/power training.

66
Q

Example of a performer that would use continuous training

A

Allinger and athletes working aerobically over a sustained period of time such as a marathon runner will benefit from improvements in cardiovascular endurance.

67
Q

What is interval training?

A

Periods of work with alternating periods of rest.

H I IT training refers to alternating high and low intensity periods

68
Q

Positives of interval training

Q

Negative’s of interval training

A

Risk of injury
Requires high levels of motivation
Can cause dizziness or nausea

70
Q

Example of a performer that would use interval training

A

A volleyball or tennis player would benefit from this as it holds periods of rest and high-intensity mimicking that of a game in which you have to wait for your opponent to serve

71
Q

What is circuit training?

A

Series of exercises with rests in between

72
Q

Benefits of circuit training

A

Can be tailored to individual needs or sport (flexible)
can range in ability

Can be tailored to muscle groups

73
Q

Negative’s of circuit training

A

Requires equipment
Expensive
Requires space
Is hard to gauge work rest ratio

74
Q

Example of a performer that would use circuit training

A

A sprinter would use a combination of weight and speed stages within circuits and rest times could be longer. Also the upperbody is focused on.

83
Q

Example of a performer that would benefit from altitude training

A

Endurance athletes that work Aerobically over a sustained period of time will benefit from this as high altitude means less oxygen in the air and so the body has to compensate by making more red blood cells to carry additional oxygen. Returning to sea level allows your body to carry oxygen more efficiently with more haemoglobin.
