Training Methods (Unit 4 AOS 2) Flashcards
What are the training methods? Catagorise them into aerobobic and anaerobic
Aerobic training methods
- Continuous
- fartlek
- Long interval
- HIIT
- Circuit (low work to rest ratio)
- flexibility
Anaerobic training methods
- plyometrics
- Resistance /weights
- Short and intermediate interval
- Circuit (high work to rest ratio)
FARTLEK TRAINING
Description, frequency, intensity, trains, examples
Description
- Combines continuous activity with random bursts of intense work throughout the activity.
- changing an activity’s intensity through variations in effort or environment.
- Variations (from sub-max intensity) include slow jogging, maximal sprints, walking, hill work, sand work, half pace sprints.
Frequency
- 2 (maintain)
- 3+ (improve)
Intensity
- Varied
Examples
- Jog 60 seconds- stride 30 seconds… repeat for 20mins
Trains
- Aerobic power (some anaerobic components too)
Advantages of fartlek training
- Another advantage is that training sessions can be structured or unstructured to add variety.
- Fartlek training can closely resemble the activity patterns specific to a particular sport/activity and can be completed in a relatively confined space.
(Good for people in intermittent sports due to the changes in intensity) - Effective for LIP as trains aerobic systems and also lactate tolerance
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
what, energy systems used, work to rest ratio, intensity, duration, purpose of this training, sports, trains, examples
What is it?
- High intensity interval training is a form of training that generally includes short bursts of high intensity exercise interspersed with periods of rest or low intensity exercise
- fluctuates between high and low intensity
- HR also fluctuates however average HR increases linearly
- HIIT is usually associated with activities such as cycling (on a stationary bike) or running (sprinting).
Energy System used :
- Anaerobic and Aerobic Systems
Work to rest ratio:
- No set formula
Intensity (%Max HR):
90 - 100%
Duration:
varied
Purpose of this training:
Aerobic training concept of short high-intensity work: low intensity rest
sports:
most
Good for intermittent sports
Trains:
- aerobic power (aerobic system)
eg:
- 30 secs on at 9 - 10 RPE and 4 minutes off (1:8 work to rest)
- 4 mins at 90% with 1 minute rest
Benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
more rapid aerobic improvements for shorter training sessions can be achieved
Improve exercise capacity (increased maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max))
Improve performance (faster time trials or longer time to exhaustion) in activities that are predominantly aerobic in nature.
a decrease in rate of glycogen use
a decrease in lactate production
improved lactate tolerance
Less time commitment than other methods but same health benefits.
Difference between HIIT and fartlek training
HIIT Has more structured and consistent intensity applied throughout. Fartlek includes greater variety and duration of intensity.
Fartlek Training – Progressive Overload
Increasing the frequency of intense work.
Increasing the duration of the intense work.
Increasing the distance covered.
Covering the same distance in a shorter time.
Increasing by 2-10%
HIIT Progressive overload?????
what is interval training
intervals of work followed by intervals of recovery/rest.
Rest can be active or passive… Depends on the main energy system involved.
What similarities and differences exist between HIIT, other forms of interval training (long, intermediate and short) and fartlek training?
(P30 and 32)
Interval training - which types
short interval training
intermediate (medium) interval training
long interval training
HIIT
Interval Training - Benefits
The training sessions reflect the demands of the game situation by employing the same work: rest ratio.
(Good for intermittent team sports)
Specific energy systems and work-to-rest ratios can be targeted
Can improve speed, anaerobic capacity, aerobic power and agility
More bouts of exercise can be performed at greater intensity due to the recovery periods.
Game skills can be incorporated into the interval.
It allows high intensity work to be performed without the fatigue associated with a continuous session of equal intensity. Eg.Higher intensities can be maintained throughout work phase
Lactate tolerance can be developed
Eg: volleyball
W:R ratio is 1:5+
- Interval training termonology (p17 on doc)
- print and memorise
INTERVAL TRAINING: SHORT
body system it works at, HR, Recovery time, work time, W:R ratio, type of recovery, examples of sports
Develops ATP-PC system
Interval distances are shorter and at the highest intensity (95% Max HR +)
Recovery periods are longer to replenish ATP-PC system
Work – 3-15 seconds
Work-to-rest ratio – 1:5 or above
Passive recovery
Good for 100m sprint and most team sports involving repeated short sprints
SAMPLE SHORT DISTANCE INTERVAL PROGRAM
SAMPLE SHORT DISTANCE INTERVAL PROGRAM

x 10 by 50m in 8secs with 40 seconds recovery (95% +)
2 x 10 by 100m in 15 seconds with 60 seconds recovery (95% +)
3 x 10 by 20m in 4 secs with 20 seconds recovery (95% +)
