performance modelling and exercise selection framework

Question 1

system based approach of performance modelling

Answer 1

• “consciously organized” series of processes, arranged to accomplish a predetermined goal
• greater organization = greater transfer of training

Question 2

step 1: goal setting

Answer 2

• needs to be relevant and realistic
• comparable to team standards
• objective and quantifiable (actionable, working to achieve goals)
• include the athlete and the coach
• interdisciplinary approach, discuss appropriate goals together, not deciding for the athlete

Question 3

step 2: needs analysis

Answer 3

• biomechanical demands
• physiological demands
• normative data ( look within organization)
• injury epidemiology ( physical adaptations to overcome common injuries in their sport)

Question 4

step 3: designing a testing battery

Answer 4

• making sure what we are prescribing allows us to check and measure to see if it is the change we want
• compete with peers
• normative vs. peer data
• testing vs monitoring

Question 5

testing

Answer 5

• a one time observation
• can be good or bad

Question 6

monitoring

Answer 6

• changes over time
• informed

Question 7

step 4: exercise selection

Answer 7

• links to needs analysis and performance assessments (meaningful adaptations)
• timing of program (important for comp training)
• fine tune program
• have to be able to adapt if someone is unable to complete an exercise with proper technique, can regress to similar exercises and progress to the exercise and beyond
• athlete need to be comfortable and appropriate for their level
