Syllabus-Improving performance Flashcards
How do athletes train for improved performance?
Anaerobic Training (Power And Speed)
-developing power through resistance/weight training
-plyometrics
-short interval
How do athletes train for improved performance?
Flexibility Training
-static
-dynamic
-ballistic
What are the planning considerations for improving performance?
Initial Planning Considerations
-performance and fitness needs (individual, team)
-schedule of events/competitions
-climate and season
What are the planning considerations for improving performance?
Planning A Training Year (Periodisation)
-phases of competition (pre season, in season, off season phases)
-subphases (macro and microcycles)
-peaking
-tapering
-sport specific subphrases (fitness components, skill requirements)
What are the planning considerations for improving performance?
Elements To Be Considered When Designing A Training Session
-health and safety considerations
-providing an overview of the session to athletes (goal specific)
-warm up and cool down
-skill instruction and practice
-conditioning
-evaluation
What are the planning considerations for improving performance?
Planning To Avoid Overtraining
-amount and intensity of training
-physiological considerations, eg lethargy, injury
-psychological considerations, eg loss of motivation
What ethical issues are related to improving performance?
Use Of Drugs
-the dangers of performance enhancing drug use, eg physical effects, loss of reputation, sponsorship and income
-for strength (human growth hormone, anabolic steroids)
-for aerobic performance (EPO)
-to mask other drugs (diuretics, alcohol)
-benefits and limitations of drug testing
What are the planning considerations for improving performance?
Use Of Technology
-training innovation, eg lactate threshold testing, biomechanics analysis
-equipment advances, eg swimsuits, golf ball
