Q

Name 6 principles of training

A
Moderation
Reversibility
Specificity
Variance
Overload (FITT)
Progression
2
Q

Describe the moderation principle of training

A

Don’t over-train as it could cause injury

3
Q

Describe the reversibility principle of training

A

If you stop training your fitness will get worse

4
Q

Describe the specificity principle of training

A

the training you do should be relevant to your sporting needs.

5
Q

Describe the principle of variance

A

You need to use different types of training to stop you getting bored and lack motivation

6
Q

Describe the overload principle of training

A

you need to increase the training you do in order to adapt. you can do this by changing FITT

  • frequency
  • intensity
  • time
  • type
7
Q

What is periodisation?

A

The organised division of training into a number of specific blocks, periods or phases

8
Q

What is the aim of periodisation?

A

To ensure athletes progressively develop to reach a skill/physiological peak at the correct time for an ultimate sporting target

9
Q

Identify the different types of cycles that periodisation divides a year into

A

Macro cycle
Meso cycle
Micro cycle

10
Q

How long does a macro cycle last?

A

about 1-4 years

11
Q

how long does a meso-cycle last?

A

about 4 - 16 weeks

12
Q

How long does a micro cycle last?

A

about 1 week (can be up to 3)

13
Q

Identify the 3 phases of meso cycles

A

pre-season
competition season
transition / off-season

14
Q

What are the pre-season phases of a meso-cycle?

A

1) basic fitness phase
2) specific event phas
3) pre-competition phase

15
Q

What are the competition phases of a meso cycle?

A

1) maintenance phase

2) monitoring and recovery phase

16
Q

What are the transition / off-season phases of a meso cycle?

A

1) rest/recovery phase

2) low level training / pre-season preparation
