Q

What are the anaerobic training methods?

A
  • short interval
  • intermediate interval
  • plyometrics
  • agility training
  • strength/resistance
33
Q

What factors are important to replicate during training?

A
  • fitness components
  • major muscle groups
  • energy systems
  • skills/movement patterns
  • work:rest
34
Q

Time

A

Length of:
- training session
- training program
- work effort

35
Q

What is the minimum duration of an aerobic training session?

A

20 minutes - includes warmup

36
Q

What is the minimum duration of a training program?

A

6 weeks

37
Q

Progression is also known as?

A

Overloading

38
Q

Progression

A

placing the body under new stress after it has adapted to the current training workload.

39
Q

When should progression occur?

A

Only when training starts to feel easier

40
Q

Rules of Progression

A
  1. Only change one variable at a time
  2. Increase load by 2-10%
41
Q

What can occur when progression is incorrectly applied?

A
  • overtraining
  • fatigue
  • adequate recovery is critical
42
Q

What are the training zones?

A
  • adaptation
  • neutral
  • fatigue
43
Q

Adaptation zone

A
  • resistance
  • just right
  • maximal adaptations
44
Q

Neutral zone

A
  • too easy
  • little adaptations
45
Q

Fatigue zone

A
  • exhaustion
  • too hard
  • fail adaptations
46
Q

Variety

A

Introducing changes to a training program by adding different training/exercises

47
Q

What does Variety achieve?

A

Increase athlete motivation, stimulation, engagement
Decrease boredom/risk of injury

48
Q

What is important to consider when adding variety?

A

Specificity must be maintained

49
Q

Examples of Variety

A

different: terrain, drills, order of exercises, equipment

50
Q

Detraining/reversibility

A

Training stops due to injury, illness, training break
Rapid return to pre-exercise levels

51
Q

What happens without training for 4 - 8 weeks?

A

Gains/adaptations reversed quicker than time taken to develop
Fitness quickly lost

52
Q

What is reversed faster: Aerobic or Strength Adaptations?

A

Aerobic

53
Q

Maintenance

A
  • maintain fitness levels, not improve
  • avoid detraining/loosing gains
54
Q

Periodization

A

Structured planning to elicit optimal training/performance benefit by varying intensity.

55
Q

How can overload be applied?

A

Increase: distance, resistance, intensity, reps/sets, frequency
Decrease: rest, duration, stability

56
Q

Diminishing Returns

A

Rate of fitness improvement diminishes as a person approaches their genetic potential.

57
Q

What does the graph of diminishing return look like?

A

Improve rapidly then plateau

58
Q

How can improvement continuation be ensured?

A

Program including progression, nutrition, psychological/physiological strategy, massage, recovery

59
Q

Tapering

A

Training volume reduced to minimise fatigue.

60
Q

Overtraining

A
  • long term decline in performance
  • decline physiologically/psychologically
61
Q

When is overtraining identified?

A

When fatigue cannot be reversed in a few days of rest or modified training

62
Q

Why does overtraining occur

A
  • insufficient recovery
  • excessive training loads
  • incorrect application of progressive overload
  • stress
63
Q
