What is specificity
refers to the method whereby an athlete is trained in a specific manner to produce a specific adaptation or training outcome.
is used interchangeably with the acronym SAID, Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands
-does not mean does NOT mean that all aspects of the training must mimic that of the sporting skill.**
what does specifity refers to?
what is overload
refers to assigning a workout or training regimen of greater intensity than the athlete is accustomed to.
what are some subtle change of overload?
what is the obvious application?
increase the load assignments of the resistance exercises
what does progression promote and is based on what
Examples of how to progressively increase resistance training intensity
Increase resistance (load) used,
Raise the # of weekly training sessions,
Adding more drills or exercises/session,
Increase the training stimulus,
Change the type or technical requirements of the drills or exercises.
what are the steps required to make a resistance training program?
What is step 2: exercise selection?
1.Exercise Type
2. Movement Analysis of the Sport
3. Exercise Technique Experience
4. Availability of Resistance training equipment
5. Available Training Time per Session
What are the 2 types of exercise type?
Describe core exercise
recruit 1 or more large muscle areas,
involve two or more primary joints, &
receive priority when one is selecting exercises because of their direct application to the sport.
Describe the assistance exercise
what are structural exercise
emphasize loading the spine directly orindirectly.
what are power exercise
are structural exercises that are performed very quickly or explosively.
How to do movement analysis?
what is SAID or specificity concept or sport specific exercises?
The more similar the training activity is to the actual sport movement, the greater the likelihood that there will be a positive transfer to that sport.
what is muscle balance
Exercises selected for the specific demands of the sport should maintain a balance of muscular strength across joints & between opposing muscle groups (agonists & antagonists).
Does not always mean equal strength.
Defined as a proper ratio of strength, power, or endurance of 1 muscle or muscle group relative to another muscle or muscle group.
Muscle Imbalances
-> Increase the risk of injury.
-> Need to be corrected.
does muscle balance means equal strength
not always
Muscle Balance Ratios Recommended for Agonist & Antagonistic Muscle Groups
Hip extensors & flexors
1:1
Elbow extensors & flexors
1:1
Trunk extensors & flexors
1:1
Ankle inverters & everters
1:1
Shoulder flexors & extensors
2:3
Knee extensors & flexors
3:2
Shoulder internal & external rotators
3:2
Ankle plantar flexors & dorsiflexors
3:1
what are other aspects to consider in step 2: exercise selection?
Exercise technique experience?
Do NOT assume that an athlete will perform an exercise correctly.
If there is any doubt, have the athlete demonstrate the exercise.
If the athlete uses incorrect techniques, the S & C professional should provide complete instruction.
Availability of resistance training equipment?
A lack of certain equipment may necessitate selecting exercises that are NOT as sport specific.
Available training time session?
Prioritize time-efficient exercises when time is limited.
What are the variables in training frequency?
