U4AoS2 - Training Principles Flashcards
What are Training Principles?
- guidelines
- increase program effectiveness
- decrease fatigue/injury
What does the FITT principle stand for
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
What is Frequency?
How often you exercise
What is Intensity?
How hard you exercise
What is Time?
How long you exercise
What is Type?
What kind of exercise you do
What are the other Training Principles?
Progression
Variety
Reversibility
Maintenance
Diminishing Returns
Critiquing with FITT Principles
- Overall statement of effectiveness
- Positives
- Negatives
- Suggestions for improvements
Frequency
Number of Training sessions undertaken per week.
How many sessions is improvement linked to?
Minimum of 3 sessions per week
How many sessions is maintenance linked to?
2 sessions per week
What happens to frequency as athletes’ fitness increases?
As they adapt to current levels of training, frequency will increase.
Factors affecting frequency
- type of training
- training status
- period of year
What tends to be the Frequency of Aerobic sessions?
- lower intensity
- faster recovery
- more sessions
What tends to be the Frequency of Anaerobic sessions?
- higher intensity
- longer recovery
- less sessions
Intensity
Level of exertion/effort applied during training
How is Intensity measured?
% of HRM of VO2M
Perceived effort
Accelerometer
GPS
Formulas for calculating HRM
220 - Age or 208 - 0.7(age)
What is the Borg Scale?
Subjective measure of training stress
What needs to occur to maximise fitness improvements?
Correct application of principles
What is critical to consider when evaluating Frequency?
Recovery
Training induces a catabolic then anabolic effect during recovery.
Catabolic
Breakdown Phase
Anabolic
- body repairs
- over adapts
- adaptations
How is Recovery trained?
<65% HRM
<50% VO2 Max
0 - 3 Borg Scale
How is the Aerobic System trained?
65 - 85% HRM
55-75% VO2 Max
3 - 7 Borg Scale
How is the Anaerobic Glycolysis System trained?
85 - 95% HRM
75 - 95% VO2 Max
7 - 9 Borg Scale
Increases Lactate Tolerance
How is the ATP-PC System trained?
95+% HRM
100+% VO2 Max
9 - 10 Borg Scale
How is LIP trained?
85-90% HRM
75-80% VO2 Max
7 Borg Scale
What is the advantage of increasing LIP?
Work at higher aerobic intensities without fatigue.
What is Specificity?
Foundation to maximise desired outcome
What are the aerobic training methods?
- continuous
- fartlek
- long interval
- HITT
- circuit
