Name an example of a sport using Specificity
A CM in Football needs to have good cardio and a forward in rugby neess to be fit and strong
Name an example of a sport using Progressive overload
Cardiovascualr fitness will involve areobic respiration however a weight would have to increase their reps of a couple of weeks to make an impact on their fitness. E.G. Running
Name an example of a sport using Individual needs
A new triathlete would have to start at the bottom of a training plan however a triathlete who is experienced will most likely want to be at the top of their training plan
Name an example of a sport using Frequency
A marathon runner would have a rest day, a recovery run, a continuous run and a high intensity run
Name an example of a sport using Intensity
A runner would have to raise their heart rate to go in the target zone
Name an example of a sport using time
Cardiovascular fitness can be improved by training for longer than 20mins in your target zone
Name a sport using Type
Sprinters training specificity to improve their speed would use interval training
What is the definition of Training Thresholds?
A safe and effective level to train at
