OVERLOAD
the concept of stressing the body slightly beyond its current capabilities during training.
by doing so, it creates a stimulus for physiological adaptations
OVERLOAD PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS
- increased muscle strength/ power/ speed- anaerobic LTA
- cardiovascular fitness (aerobic capacity) - LTA
- muscle fibre development & hypertrophy
- increasing anaerobic and aerobic thresholds/ delaying OBLA
- skill development
FITT
F= frequency: HOW OFTEN ?
I= intensity: HOW HARD?
T= time : HOW LONG?
T= type: WHAT TYPE OF EXERCISE/ ACTIVITY?
PROGRESSION
progressive overload involves gradually increasing the intensity, duration or volume of training to continuously challenge the body; gradual increase in workload stimulates improvements in strength, endurance, or even skill
PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD
refers to gradual increase in the intensity, duration, volume of training to place a stress on the body, which acts as a stimulus for physiological adaptations
SPECIFICITY
principle of specificity emphasises that training should be tailored to the specific sport or activity an athlete participates in
REVERSIBILITY
states that fitness gains achieved through training can be lost if training is stopped or reduced. principle emphasises the importance of consistent training to maintain performance levels
VARIATION
training programmes should include a variety of exercises, drills, and activities to prevent overuse injuries, reduce boredom/ maintain motivation, and promote well-round fitness
MODERATION
balancing the amount, intensity, and duration of training to avoid overtraining or undertraining. emphasises that training should be appropriate and manageable to excessive fatigue, injury or burnout. goal is to ensure steady progress while allowing for recovery
DELOADING
reducing intensity/ duration/ amount to prevent burn out, excessive fatigue
PAR-Q
The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
PAR-Q IS IMPORTANT FOR
(1) identification of health risks
(2) safety precautions
(3) informed consent
(4) health history tracking
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF A WARM-UP
- release adrenaline, increases HR + BR and dilates capillaries and arterioles, increase in oxygenated blood flow
- increase in speed of nerve impulses, be more alert + stimulation of more muscle fibres to produce more force (part of potentiation)
- greater elasticity of muscle fibres due to increase in muscle temperature, reduces risk of muscular injury
- efficient movement at joints due to increased production of synovial fluid, increase pliability
- increase reaction time
- increase co-ordination
- reduction in muscle viscosity
- increases enzyme activity
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF A COOL-DOWN
- maintains blood flow high and allows oxygen to be delivered to working muscles/ reduces oxygen debt and flush out waste products
- allows to oxidise and remove lactic acid
- helps saturation of myoglobin stores
- light exercise allows skeletal muscle pump to keep working and prevents blood from pooling in the veins
- reduce risk of DOMS (delayed onset of muscle stiffness/soreness)
- creatine phosphate stores re-saturated at faster rate
- allows body to return to its pre-exercise state
RAMP
R= raise - increase HR and body temperature with light aerobic activities like jogging or skipping
A= activate - engage key muscles groups that will be used in the activity, such as squats or lunges
M= mobilise - improve joint movement with dynamic stretches or controlled exercises (arm circles, leg swings)
P= potentiation - prepare the body for high intensity effort with sport - specific drills or explosive movements (sprints, jumps)
WARM UP
prepare body for physical activity and reduces the risk of injury
PHYSILOGICAL BENEFITS OF A WARM UP
(1) increased heart rate and blood flow
(2) increased muscle temperature
(3) enhanced enzyme activity
(4) improved joint mobility
(5) nervous system activation
(6) psychological preparation
(7) redistribution of blood flow
deliver nutrients
PHYSIOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF A COOL-DOWN
(1) gradual decrease of HR and BR
(2) removal of waste products
(3) reduction in muscle soreness
(4) maintenance of flexibility
(5) restoration of muscle length
(6) facilitates recovery of energy systems
(7) psychological benefits
CONTINUOUS TRAINING
predominantly develops the aerobic system by working continuously at the same intensity
typically 60-80% maximum HR
HR ZONE (BASIC CALCULATION)
STEP ONE-
maximum HR (MHR) = 220 - your age = xxx
STEP TWO-
the lower limit, to have an aerobic training effect is 60% (65% for an athlete) of your maximum
STEP THREE-
the upper limit, to have an aerobic training effect is 80% (85% for an athlete) of your maximum
HR ZONE (KARVONEN PRINCIPLE)
takes into account your fitness level via use of your resting heart rate
1) calculate RHR
calculate MHR
2) lower limit
RHR + 0.60 (MHR-RHR)
3) upper limit
RHR+0.80(MHR-RHR)
BORG SCALE (RPE)
simple method of rating perceived exertion (RPE) and is used to measure a performers level of intensity during training
perceived exertion is how hard you feel your body is working
PLYOMETRICS
used to develop speed and power
maximum intensity activities with relatively short periods of time - high intensity explosive activities
usually no more than 10 seconds, with a rest period allowing near fully recovery between repetitions and sets
uses fast twitch muscle fibres
if an eccentric contraction precedes concentric contraction= more force
= stretch shortening cycle
