12 training principles

Key principles to know for 6 week program
Frequency Intensity Specificity Progressive overload Time/duration Variety
How can a fitness component be improved?
A fitness component will be improved if it is trained 3 or more times per week
What is the relationship between intensity and duration?
As duration increases, intensity decreases and vice versa
How can intensity be measured?
MHR %
VO2 Max %
1RM %
Max HR and VO2 Max during aerobic training
70-85% MHR
55-75% VO2 Max
MHR and Vo2 max during training at the LIP
85-90% MHR
75-90% vo2 max
mhr and vo2 max during anaerobic training
90%+ MHR
100-200% VO2 Max
Time in exercise refers to
Length of training program (6 weeks)
Length of actual training session
Length of bout of exercise during training session
When do aerobic adaptations occur?
After a minimum of 20 minutes of training
What is tapering?
Tapering refers to the reduction in training volume before competition.
What is peaking?
Peaking refers to the manipulation of training to ensure a performer is at their optimal physiological state before a competition.
What is the main goal of any training program?
The goal of any training program is to cause positive long-term or chronic adaptations to enhance performance.
How big should progressive overload be?
2-10% improvement
When should overload occur?
When adaptations plateau/when the performer is accustomed to the existing workload.
Training should be SPECIFIC to:
Energy system usage
Fitness components
Major muscle groups
Skill frequency
Individuality definition
Refers to how people respond to similar training stimulus in different manners. It depends on genetic disposition, initial fitness levels, preparedness etc.
How does a person maintain fitness levels?
Train at least twice a week.
