1

Where a person works for long periods of time to exercise their heart, lungs and large muscle groups

1

Having variation in your training program can help an athlete keep motivated & can prevent the athlete from plateauing in their fitness

1

Usually consists of light continuous activity which builds in intensity/aerobic activity to help warm up the body/ loads the blood with oxygen

1

How hard you are working - calculated a variety of ways such as from working heart rate and comparing to HR max, perceived exertion

1

Involves training the muscles, energy system and skills that you will need and use in your sport

1

A program needs to gradually increase in its demands beyond the current load in order to gain improvement

1

The number of trainings per week

1

Usually done as part of the warm-up and cool down phase & may increase flexibility/reduce injury

1

The organization of the training into distinct periods where specific components are done first before others in order to maximize the training effect

1

If you don't train or cannot train at all, you will gradually lose any gains you made from your training

1

This could be walking or jogging with others/this is to help motivate individuals

1

Stretching of the body to help improve the range of movement/ can be dynamic, static, PNF

1

To train harder/place systems under greater load than normally encountered - can be achieved through adjusting frequency, intensity and duration

1

Activities such as running, swimming, cycling, rowing, HIIT, resistance training, plyometrics, intervals, etc.

1

Done at the end of the exercise session to enable the body to gradually come back to a resting state

1

Loading the muscles while doing exercise to help promote the maintenance and growth of muscle tissue

1

Can refer to the length of a training session or the length of a training programme

1

What RPE scale is specifically designed to be used with children?

1

What RPE scale is specifically designed to be used with adults?

1

What RPE scale is designed based on the activity?

1

Why is heart rate used to monitor exercise intensity?

4

Describe how a 200 m butterfly swimmer could apply the principles of specificity and overload to their training programme.

6

Distinguish between a macrocycle and a mesocycle when planning periodization of training.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Mesocycle
Annual plan
Macrocycle
Peaking for the goal competition of the year
Macrocycle
The three phases of a __________ are preparation, competitive, and transition
Mesocycle
Phase of training with a duration of between 2–6 weeks
Mesocycle
Preparatory phase will usually consist of 4–6 micro-cycles (but this can vary depending on the sport)
Macrocycle
Specific block of training that is designed to accomplish a particular goal
