Q

Readiness

A

The value of training depends on the physiological readiness of individual athletes
Comes with Maturity

Q

Adaptation

A

Training should induce subtle, progressive changes as the body adapts to added demands
To include:
- improved respiration, heart function,
circulation, and blood volume
- Improved muscular endurance, strength, and
power
- Tougher bones, ligaments, tendons, and
connective tissue

Q

Warm-up and Cool-down

A

Warm-up:
Increase body temperature, increase respiration and heart rate, and guard against muscle and tendon strains
Should consist of stretching, calisthenics, and sport specific activities
Cool-down:
Just as important as the warm-up
Not good to just abruptly end practice or a workout
