Soc 5 Principles Of Training

Question 1

Specificity

Answer 1

Matching training of the requirments of an activity

e.g. footballers will need high cardiovascular fitness to run for the whole game

Question 2

Target zone

Answer 2

This area between the minimum and maximum threshold of training

Question 3

Progressive overload

Answer 3

Gradually increasing the amount of overload so as it gain fitness without the risk of injury
e.g. if you have just started long runs you shouldn’t starts of at 5 or 10k runs you should start at 1 and then gradually build up

Question 4

How would you progressively overload?

Answer 4

For strength, overload training may mean lifting a weight at 60% to 80%of maximum effort
e.g. if you were to squat 120kg as your 1 rep max at 100% so from 60% the weight would start off at 72kg and build my way up to around 80% which would be 96kg. From 60% and 80% this would be your training zone

Question 5

Individual needs

Answer 5

Matching training to the requirements of an individual

Question 6

What does FITT stand for

Answer 6

Frequency, intensity, time and type

Question 7

What is Frequency

Answer 7

Frequency means how often you train e.g. you might go from running 3x to 4x

Question 8

What is Intensity

Answer 8

Intensity is how hard someone trains e.g. intensity for a runner would mean raising your heart in the target zone

Question 9

What is Time

Answer 9

Time is how long each training session must last e.g. if younwant tonimprove cardiovascular fitness you need to train for longer than 20 mins in you target zone

Question 10

What is type

Answer 10

Type is the method of training to achieve particular goal e.g. sprinter training specifically to improve their speed
