Q

Important factors to remember about the transition phase

A

Q

What is the aim of peaking and tapering?

A

To be at the best for competitions

22
Q

What is peaking?

A

Planning of training so optimum performance is reached at a specific time (physically/psychologically)

23
Q

What is tapering?

A

Reduction of training volume allowing time for extra recovery and full replenishment of fuel stores.

24
Q

How is tapering applied?

A
  • athlete must be mentally refreshed and focused
  • reduction in training volume
  • maintain intensity/decrease frequency
25
Q

When is tapering not suitable?

A

sports requiring weekly competitions

26
Q

Benefits of tapering

A
  • provides physiological/psychological break
  • provides time for injury treatment
  • replenishment of fuels
  • increase red blood cell volume
  • repair of muscle microtrauma
27
Q

What is the purpose of training?

A

facilitate chronic adaptations in the desired fitness components, energy systems and muscle groups to improve performance

28
Q

Warmup

A
  • prepares body for conditioning phase
  • increases delivery of oxygenated blood and body temperature
29
Q

What should a warmup include?

A
  • activity specific
  • commence with light intensity aerobic activity, dynamic ROM exercises and sport specific activity
30
Q

What is the general phase of a warmup?

A

5 - 10 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity

31
Q

What is the Dynamic phase of a warmup?

A

dynamic flexibility exercises
- increase joint/muscle mobility
- replicate joints/muscles used in a game

32
Q

What is the sport specific phase of a warmup?

A
  • replicate game movements
  • higher intensity specific movements
  • agility, speed, acceleration
33
Q

What is the purpose of the sport specific phase of the warmup?

A

Prepares body for the required intensity, increases neuromuscular efficiency and muscle reaction speed.

34
Q

What are the parts of the conditioning phase?

A

Skill development and fitness conditioning

35
Q

What is the skill development phase?

A
  • provide practice of skills, game plans, tactics and strategies
36
Q

When should the skill development phase be implemented?

A

Either before or after conditioning
Before: less fatigue, more alert, better focus

37
Q

Why might the skill development phase be performed after the fitness conditioning phase?

A

Practicing skills with fatigue replicates game conditions

38
Q

What is the fitness conditioning phase?

A

develop/maintain
- fitness components
- muscle groups
- energy systems
- motor skills

39
Q

What is the purpose of a cooldown?

A

return to pre-exercise state as fast as possible (physiologically and psychologically)

40
Q

Active recovery

A
  • maintain elevated HR
  • prevent venous pooling
  • activate skeletal pump
  • removes metabolic waste
  • rapid return to pre-exercise state
41
Q

Passive recovery

A
  • rebuilds PC stores at fastest rate
  • static, passive, PNF or slow active stretching
42
Q

What are the benefits of static stretching?

A
  • increase ROM
  • decrease muscle tension/soreness
  • decrease risk of injury
  • reduce DOMS by aligning muscle fibres
  • assist removal of metabolites
43
Q

Why do we monitor training?

A
  • provides record of training through FITT
  • monitor injury
  • motivator
  • manage training load
  • understand when to appl progression
  • periodise training
  • monitor factors
44
Q

How is training monitored?

A
  • digital trackers
  • apps
  • training diaries
45
Q

Physiological Factors

A

Information about the body’s physical functioning in response to training

46
Q

Example of physiological factors

A
  • energy levels
  • HR responses
  • muscle soreness
  • sleep patterns
  • nutritional information
  • respiratory rate
  • fluid loss
47
Q

48
Q

Psychological examples

A
  • confidence levels
  • arousal levels
  • stress levels

49
Q

Sociological factors

A

Provides information about the broader social, cultural environmental factors that contribute to performance

50
