Where a person works for long periods of time to exercise their heart, lungs and large muscle groups
Having variation in your training program can help an athlete keep motivated & can prevent the athlete from plateauing in their fitness
Usually consists of light continuous activity which builds in intensity/aerobic activity to help warm up the body/ loads the blood with oxygen
How hard you are working - calculated a variety of ways such as from working heart rate and comparing to HR max, perceived exertion
Involves training the muscles, energy system and skills that you will need and use in your sport
A program needs to gradually increase in its demands beyond the current load in order to gain improvement
The number of trainings per week
Usually done as part of the warm-up and cool down phase & may increase flexibility/reduce injury
The organization of the training into distinct periods where specific components are done first before others in order to maximize the training effect
If you don't train or cannot train at all, you will gradually lose any gains you made from your training
This could be walking or jogging with others/this is to help motivate individuals
Stretching of the body to help improve the range of movement/ can be dynamic, static, PNF
To train harder/place systems under greater load than normally encountered - can be achieved through adjusting frequency, intensity and duration
Activities such as running, swimming, cycling, rowing, HIIT, resistance training, plyometrics, intervals, etc.
Done at the end of the exercise session to enable the body to gradually come back to a resting state
Loading the muscles while doing exercise to help promote the maintenance and growth of muscle tissue
Can refer to the length of a training session or the length of a training programme
What RPE scale is specifically designed to be used with children?
What RPE scale is specifically designed to be used with adults?
What RPE scale is designed based on the activity?
Why is heart rate used to monitor exercise intensity?
Describe how a 200 m butterfly swimmer could apply the principles of specificity and overload to their training programme.
Distinguish between a macrocycle and a mesocycle when planning periodization of training.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Macrocycle | arrow_right_alt | Annual plan |
Mesocycle | arrow_right_alt | Peaking for the goal competition of the year |
Mesocycle | arrow_right_alt | The three phases of a __________ are preparation, competitive, and transition |
Macrocycle | arrow_right_alt | Phase of training with a duration of between 2–6 weeks |
Macrocycle | arrow_right_alt | Preparatory phase will usually consist of 4–6 micro-cycles (but this can vary depending on the sport) |
Mesocycle | arrow_right_alt | Specific block of training that is designed to accomplish a particular goal |
