preperation and training methods Flashcards
Principles of training - SPOVMR ( Specificity)
training should be relevant and appropriate for the individual, sport, energy system , muscle fibre type and movement pattern
Principles of training - SPOVMR ( progression)
training demand should gradually increase over time to ensure the performer adapts and improves
Principles of training - SPOVMR ( overload)
training intensity should be above the performers comfort zone to place stress on body and cause adaptations
over load can be achieved by manipulating FITT principle :
Frequency - how many sessions per week
Intensity - how hard the sessions are
Time - how long the sessions, intervals and sets are
Type - method of training used
Principles of training - SPOVMR ( variance)
training includes a range of exercises and activities to prevent boredom
Principles of training - SPOVMR ( moderation)
training must be appropriate for the performer to adapt while maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle
Principles of training - SPOVMR ( reversibility)
training must be maintained to prevent deuteriation in performance
adaptation
a physiological change in response to training
3 things that should be included in a training programme -
test
warm up
cool down
periodisation
the organised division of training into blocks each with a goal and a time frame to ensure
3 aims of periodisation
- ensure peak is achieved at correct time
- they avoid injury and burnout
- give realistic and achievable goals
Macro cycle
a long term training plan typically over one year.
Aims is a long term goal such as national championship
meso cycle
a mid term training plan , typically 6-14 weeks long where goal is achieve a mid term goal such as maintaining general fitness
micro cycle
a short term training plan , typically over 1-3 weeks , the aim is a short term goal such as a small specific skill
3 main seasons within a periodised year
- preparatory
- competitive
- transition
preparatory phase -
the time of year when general, sports specific and skill based fitnessed is focused on
preparatory phase 1 -
during off season , general conditioning will be undertaken to develop a base
preparatory phase 2
during pre season , progressive overload is focus and the intensity of training is increased - sports specific training is essential
competitive phase
this is the time of the year to maintain the fitness developed in prep phase and to avoid injury and focus on strategies and tactics
competitive phase 3
training load reduces with periods of lower intensity and adequate rest days to maintain fitness but remain injury free
competitive phase 4
to achieve peak performance , tapering may be undergone
tapering
maintaining the intensity but decreasing the volume of training by one third to prepare for competition
transition phase
time of year for active rest.
low intensity aerobic work such as swimming or cycling
aerobic capacity
the ability of the body to inspire, transport and utilise oxygen to perform sustained periods of aerobic activity
what is aerobic capacity dependent on
the efficiency of the respiratory ,CV and muscular systems
V02 max
v02 max
max volume of oxygen inspired, transported and utilised per minute during exhaustive exercise
meausured in ml/kg/min
factors affecting v02 max - physiological makeup effect on V02 max
- ## the greater efficiency of the respiratory + CV system and muscle cells to inspire, transport and utilise 02 the higher V02 max.
factors affecting v02 max - physiological makeup - explanation
- stronger respiratory muscles and large lungs can inspire more air
- strong and large ventricle increase SV and blood flow
- capillarisation increases surface area for gaseous exchange
factors affecting v02 max - age
- from early 20s , v02 max declines 1% per year as elasticity in heart, blood tissue and walls reduce ability to inspire and transport 02
factors affecting v02 max - gender
- females have a 15-30% lower v02 max than males as they have higher body fat % , smaller lungs and lower haemoglobin levels
factors affecting v02 max - training
- aerobic training will increase v02 max by 10-20%
as causes long term adaptations such as strength of respiratory muscles, levels haemoglobin , myoglobin and mitochondria
capillarisation
the formation and development of a network of capillaries to a part of the body
DGA
athlete performs continuous exercise at progressive intensities to exhaustion.
Expired air is captured by a mask and levels of c02 and 02 in expired or inspired air are measured
advantages of DGA
- direct and objective measurement
- accurate , valid and reliable to measure
- can be specific to sport
disadvantages of DGA
- maximal test to exhaustion
- can’t be used with elderly
- equipment is required
cooper 12 min run
athelete runs round a track for 12 mins and distance is measured and can be used to predict v02 max
advantages of 12 min cooper run
- large groups can perform at same time
- simple and cheap
- published tables
disadvantages of 12 min cooper run
- prediction of v02 max
- affected by motivation
- not sports specific
Queens college step test
- athlete performs constant stepping on and stepping off a box for 3 mins at a constant pace
- HR is calculated after to predict v02 max
Queens college step test advantages
- sub maximal
- simple and cheap
- published table of values
Queens college step test disadvantages
- prediction not a measurement
- not sports specific
- Hr can be affected by other factors
NCF multi stage fitness test
- subject performs a continuous 20m shuttle run at progressive intensities to exhaustion
- a level and number gives a V02 max prediction
NCF multi stage fitness test advantages
- large groups can perform test at same time
- simple and cheap
- published tables
NCF multi stage fitness test disadvantages
- prediction of V02 max
- max test to exhaustion
- not sports specific
why identifying the correct training zone is important
as it is essential to gain aerobic adaptations
- if intensity is too high the performer will fatigue quickly and make anaerobic adaptations
- if intensity is too low ,no adaptation will be made
HR training zones
based on age and training need.
the zone should meet the physiological benefit
5 HR training zones
- basic endurance
- target fat burning
- aerobic zone
- lactate threshold
- max performance capacity
training methods to improve aerobic capacity - continuous training
steady state and low to moderate intensity of work for a prolonged period of time such as jogging
- 60-80% of HR
- 20-80 mins
- used by endurance athletes
- overuse can cause injury
