Soc 5: Principles Of Training Flashcards
Specificity
Matching training to the requirements of an activity e.g. a CM in football will need high levels of cardiovascular fitness
Progressive overload
Gradually increasing the amount of overload so as to gain fitness without the risk of injury e.g. weight lifting slowly increasing the amount you can lift
Target zone
This area between the minimum and maximum threshold of training is called the target zone
How would you progessively overload
For strength overload training may mean lifting a weight at 60 to per 80 per cent of maximum effort e.g. if your one rep max is 120 kg you would have to do 72kg to 96kg a week to keep it up
Individual needs
Matching training to the requirements of an individual
Frequency
Frequency means how often you train. You may go from training three times a week to four
Intensity
Means how hard someone trains.
Time
Means how long each training session must last in order to benefit
Type
The method of training to achieve
