Lecture 13 Flashcards
1
Q
Monitor workload because…
A
1 understand rate of adaptation and decay
2 inform decisions on training impulse
2
Q
performance =
A
fitness – fatigue
3
Q
predicting training load
A
predict factors that affect match difficulty (opposition travel recovery climate) > periodise training loads > monitor training loads > review
4
Q
***Q. how would you measure workload in your program?
A
Neuromuscular function (MVC, jump, sprint) Neuromuscular activation (EMG, inertial sensors) Sleep HR variable Metabolic rate (+ EE) Biochemistry (creatine kinase, cortisol, testosterone, inflammation) Mechanical loads (GPS, match/training stats)
5
Q
TRIMP
A
Training impulse
Time (min) x avg HR (bpm)
Limited to aerobic-based activities –requires HR to be recorded (not easy in group context) – alternative is TRIMP training zone method
6
Q
Session RPE
A
Record ~30min post session
Workload = RPE x time
7
Q
Pre-cooling
A
Decrease body temp
8
Q
Caffeine
A
Glycogen sparing
9
Q
Steroids
A
Increase muscle mass
