In terms of the principles on training what does SPORT stand for?
|
Specificity
Progression Overload Reversibility Tedium |
|
What does the specificity mean in the mnemonic SPORT?
|
You must do specific types of activity to improve specific parts of the body in specific ways.
|
|
What does the progression mean in the mnemonic SPORT?
|
Gradually increasing the amount of exercise you do. When a performer first starts exercising, their levels of fitness may be poor.
|
|
What does the overload mean in the mnemonic SPORT?
|
Fitness can only be improved by training more than you normally do.
|
|
What does the reversibility mean in the mnemonic SPORT?
|
Unless you keep training, any fitness gains will be lost.
|
|
What does the tedium mean in the mnemonic SPORT?
|
It is important to vary the training a bit to prevent performers becoming bored.
|
|
In terms of the principles on training what does FIT stand for?
|
Frequency
Intensity Time |
|
What does the frequency mean in the mnemonic FIT?
|
How often you train.
|
|
What does the intensity mean in the mnemonic FIT?
|
How hard the performer works based on their MHR.
|
|
What does the time mean in the mnemonic FIT?
|
The length of the training session required to achieve improvements depends on how hard a performer is training.
|
|
How do you calculate your maximum heart rate (MHR)?
|
220-age=MHR
|
|
A performers aerobic zone is with or without oxygen? What percentage of their maximum should they train at?
|
With oxygen and they should train between 60%-80% of their MHR.
|
|
A performers anaerobic zone is with or without oxygen? What percentage of their maximum should they train at?
|
Without oxygen and they should train between 80%-90% of their MHR.
|
|
What are the 5 training methods?
|
Continuous
Interval Fartlek Circuit Weight |
|
What is continuous training and energy system does it improve?
|
Training with no rest periods or recovery intervals and it improves your aerobic energy system.
|
|
Example of continuous training
|
Swimming
Running Cycling |
|
What is interval training?
|
It involves following a fixed pattern of periods of strenuous exercise alternated with periods of rest or light activity.
|
|
What energy system does interval training improve?
|
A mixture- long interval training is aerobic and short interval training is anaerobic.
|
|
Where was fartlek training developed and what does it involve?
|
Developed in Sweden and it involves changes of speed, intensity can also be varied.
|
|
What is circuit training?
|
Circuit training is where you undertake a sequence of exercises performed at a station and there are usually between 8 to 15 of these stations in a circuit.
|
|
What two types of circuits are there?
|
Fitness and skill
|
|
Which energy system does weight training involve?
|
Usually anaerobic but aerobic weight training can be achieved by using very light weights over a long period of time.
|
|
What is a 'repetition' (rep)?
|
a single movement or exercise
|
|
What is a 'set'?
|
a given number of repetitions (usually 8-120
|
|
What is a training threshold?
|
A minimum heart rate to be achieved to ensure fitness improves.
|
|
What is a performers training zone?
|
The range of heart rates in which training effects will take place.
