WHY DO WE TRAIN?
Makes the body more efficient Makes the body better able to perform
certain tasks Can make the human machine more
effective We can run faster, jump higher, and throw
further
F.I.T.T. PRINCIPLE
The four building blocks of exercise prescription
F = Frequency I = Intensity T= Type T= Time
FREQUENCY
the amount of time per week spent training general guideline is 3-5 times/week determination of frequency depends greatly
on the athlete’s level of fitness, athletic aspirations, and type of training
INTENSITY
how hard the individual must work taken as a percentage of the individual’s
maximal aerobic and anaerobic power general guideline is 50%-100% of athlete’s
maximal intensity
TIME
amount of time spent in a single training session general guideline is 3-6 times/week depends on the athlete’s level of fitness,
athletic aspirations, and type of training
TYPE
either aerobic or anaerobic training prescriptions, or a combination of both
depends on the athlete’s level of fitness, athletic aspirations, and sport or activity for which he or she is training
THE ROLE OF ENERGY SYSTEMS
The three energy systems available… Anaerobic alactic Anaerobic lactic Aerobic
Each system has certain limitations and strengths
Training can be incorporated to either enhance one or all energy systems, depending on the athlete’s needs
ANAEROBIC ALACTIC ENERGY SYSTEM
High speed explosive movements, generally 85%-100% of maximal intensity
Long rest periods between sets High intensity and volume training Training prescription will depend greatly on
the athlete’s level of fitness, athletic aspirations, and type of sport
ANAEROBIC LACTIC ENERGY SYSTEM
High speed explosive movements, generally 75%-85% of maximal intensity
Long rest periods between sets Moderately high intensity and volume
training Training prescription will depend greatly on
the athlete’s level of fitness, athletic aspirations, and type of sport
AEROBIC SYSTEM
Repetitive movements, generally 50%-75% of maximal intensity
Short rest periods between sets Moderately low intensity and volume
training Training prescription will depend greatly on
the athlete’s level of fitness, athletic aspirations, and type of sport
OTHER TRAINING PRINCIPLES
The Principle of Overload The Principle of Progression The Principle of Specificity (or S.A.I.D.) The Principle of Individual Differences The Principle of Reversibility The Principle of Diminishing Returns
OVERLOAD
To get stronger, the body must perform tasks that are more challenging than those to which it is accustomed
Over time the body will adapt New demands must be incorporated Overload can include all aspects of training,
i.e., physiological, emotional, mental, and psychological
PROGRESSION
In order to constantly improve, an athlete must progressively increase the overload over time
The athlete must be aware that loads and demands on the body must occur over time to increase performance and decrease injury
SPECIFICITY OR SPECIFIC ADAPTATION TO IMPOSED DEMAND (S.A.I.D)
In order for specific outcomes to occur, training must be specific to those outcomes
Example: if you need to improve your vertical jump, your exercise prescription should include explosive power such as exercises that target the legs
Specific muscle adaptations will occur if training is specific
Training must reflect athlete’s “game situation needs”
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
Every athlete has a different physical and psychological makeupPre-training fitness levelsRequirements within their sportAge and genderAbility to recover from workoutsAbility to recover from injury
REVERSIBILITY
“Use it or lose it” Detraining Loss of one’s edge Loss in intensity Atrophy Reasons include: injury, lack of motivation,
overtraining, and burnout
DIMINISHING RETURNS
A person’s training gains will reflect that person’s prior level of training
Performance plateau Must change exercise prescription Ethical vs. unethical training methods
TRAINING METHODS
Periodization Concurrent training Interval training Fartlek training Resistance training Plyometric training
PERIODIZATION
Breakdown of year-long training Three major seasons: off-season, pre-season,
and in-season Macrocycle – the year or years Mesocycle – months or weeks Microcycle – day(s) or week
CONCURRENT
Training all energy systems at the same time
Different types of training simultaneously Great for general fitness Performed during the off-season for certain
athletes Ideal for keeping variety in one’s exercise
program
INTERVAL
Can benefit both anaerobic and aerobic systems
Alternating periods of intensity within a given workout
Great for lactic acid training threshold Manipulates length of intense period, its
intensity, length of rest, and number of repetitions
FARTLEK
Means “speed play” Basically the same as interval, without rigid
numerical control Athletes change variables according to
terrain or how they feel Speed up or slow down when you want
RESISTANCE
Lifting weights is the most common form Weight provides resistance to muscles Broken down into number of: sets,
repetitions, rest, tempo (speed of repetition), loads, and volume
PLYOMETICS
“Stretch-shortening exercises” Examples include: bounding, hopping,
jumping, box jumps, box drills Used to develop strength and power Caution: should not be used until
athletes have a solid aerobic and anaerobic base. Children should also avoid repeated long, high intense plyometric routines.
