Question 1

SPOR

Answer 1

frequency, intensity, time, type

Question 3

Frequency

Answer 3

directly linking the training to the sport /
athlete
(eg, a footballer and weightlifter will not have the same training same as a centre and a goal shooter in netball )

Question 8

progression (+eg)

Answer 8

training gradually becomes harder
(eg, weightlifter lifting 100lbs now so next sessions will try lift 105lbs )

Question 9

overload (+eg)

Answer 9

stressing the body beyond normal levels forcing adaptions (same session)
(eg, weightlifter lifting 100lbs so now try 102lbs )

Question 10

reversibility

Answer 10

performance deteriorates if training stops or decreases
(eg, if a weightlifter stop lifting then their biceps and other muscles will lose strength)
