training principles Flashcards
what is specificity?
position specific movements and fitness requirements of an activity
what is progressive overload?
- the planned, gradual increase in training load to ensure that fitness continues to be optimised
- Applied once adaptation has occurred to a certain stimulus
- Ensures that the training program produces chronic adaptations in the body and performance improvements
- no overload = plateau
what is frequency?
- The number of times training occurs in a given period
what is intensity?
The magnitude of exertion required
how is intensity measured?
- Heart-Rate (%HR max)
- Oxygen uptake (%VO2 max)
- Maximal speed
what training zone is being used when there is a >50% MAX HR?
recovery zone
what training zone is being used when there is a 50-65% MAX HR?
low intensity aerobic zone
what training zone is being used when there is a 65-85% MAX HR?
aerobic training zone
what training zone is being used when there is a 85-100% MAX HR?
anerobic training zone
what is duration?
The length of training time
what is reversibility?
The loss of physiological performance occurs as a result of a person terminating or scaling back a regular training program
- starts in the first 1-2 weeks and increases the longer the athlete remains out of training
