training Flashcards
weight training
The use of weights/resistance to cause adaptation of the muscles.
Tedium
Boredom that can occur from training the same way every time. Variety is needed.
progressive overload
Progressive overload is the gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise training.
Reversibility
Losing fitness levels when you stop exercising.
Specificity
Making training specific to the sport being played.
Season
A period of time during which competition takes place or training seasons, dividing the year up into sectional parts for pre-determined benefits.
Principles of training
Specificity. Progressive Overload, Reversibility Tedium (SPORT)
Principles of overload
Frequency (How often we train)
Intensity (How hard we train)
Time (How long we train for)
Type (The method of training we use)
Pre-season
It is defined as: period leading up to competition usually using continuous/fartlek/interval training sessions to increase aerobic fitness, weight training to build up strength and muscular endurance, developing techniques specific to the sport in order to be fully prepared for matches at start of season and therefore be more successful.
Post-season
Period of rest/active recovery/light aerobic work after the competition period (season).
Interval training
Periods of intense work that are followed by periods of rest, eg work, rest, work, rest
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
It’s an exercise strategy alternating periods of short intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods
The FITT principle
(Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type)
These are used to progressively overload training.
Fartlek training
Periods of fast work with intermittent periods of slower work. Often used by games players, ie sprint, jog, walk, jog, sprint, etc.
DOMS
Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness
The pain you feel in your muscles the day after exercise.
