- Lactic Acid
- Aerobic system
Types of training and training methods
- Aerobic e.g. continuous, fartlek, aerobic interval, circuit
- Anaerobic e.g. anaerobic interval
- Flexibility e.g PNF, dynamic, static, ballistic
- Strength training e.g. Fixed/free weights, hydraulic, elastic
Principles of training
- Specificity

- Oxygen uptake/ Lung Capacity
- The effect of fast/slow twitch muscle fibres
- Haemoglobin levels
Motivation
- Positive and negative
- Intrinsic and extrinsic
Anxiety and arousal
- State and trait anxiety
- Sources of stress
- Optimal arousal
Psychological strategies to enhance motivation and manage anxiety
- Concentration/attention skills (focusing)
