response Flashcards
define the term “undertraining” (page 150)
failure to provide adequate stimulation to the body by training too infrequently, for too short a period of time, or at an insufficient intensity that will not generate the physical adaptations that are required for enhanced performance
define the term “training” (page 150)
systematic, repeated performance of structured exercise sessions over a period of time, with the achievement of a specific goal in mind.
define the term “overtraining” (page 150)
is what occurs if an athlete attempts to do more training than they are able to physically and/or mentally tolerate over a prolonged period.
define the term “overreaching” (page 150)
is what happens when an athlete places stress on their body that is beyond their current limit of tolerance, but only for a short period of time.
outline the training principle of specificity (page 151)
training adaptations are SPECIFIC to the type of activity being performed and to the volume and intensity of the exercise.
outline the training principle of progressive overload (page 151,152)
systematically increasing the demands on the body is necessary for continued performance.
outline the training principle of recovery(rest) (page 152)
athletes need adequate time to recover from training (and competition).
rest between training sessions
enough sleep
well balanced diet
periodization
outline the training principle of variety (page 152)
systematic process of changing one or more variables (volume, intensity, technique etc.) in the training program over time to ensure the training stimulus remains challenging and effective
outline the training principle of reversibility (“use it or lose it”)(page 151)
any adaptations tat takes places as a result of training will be lost if you stop training
outline the training principle of periodization (page)
