Principles Of Training

Question 1

SPORR

Answer 1

Specificity, progression overload, reversibility, recovery

Question 2

SPORR: specificity

Answer 2

Training must be relevant to chosen sport, using the same energy system, muscle fibre type, skills and movements. Intensity and duration of training should be similar to activity

Question 3

SPORR: progressive overload

Answer 3

Performer gradually trains harder throughout as fitness improves. E.g for improvement on power, performer will lift heavier weights at the end then the start of training programme

Question 4

SPORR: reversibility

Answer 4

Referred to as detraining. If training stops adaptations will deteriorate.

Question 5

SPORR: recovery

Answer 5

Rest days are needed allowing body to recover from training. 3:1 ratio three days training one day test as research suggests.

Question 6

FITT

Answer 6

Frequency, intensity, time, type

Question 7

FITT: frequency

Answer 7

Need to train more often

Question 8

FITT: intensity

Answer 8

To improved our must train harder

Question 9

FITT: time

Answer 9

Time spent training needs to gradually increase

Question 10

FITT: type

Answer 10

Type of training/exercise should vary to stay motivated but must remain relevant to sport. E.g for stamina doing circuit, continuous and fartlek training
