PRINCIPLES AND METHODS OF TRAINING

Question 1

what are the principles of training

Answer 1

Progression
Reversibility
Overload
Moderation
Specificity
Variance

Question 2

what is progression

Answer 2

GRADUALLY increasing the intensity/duration/volume of training to continuously challenge the body.
the gradual increase in workload stimulates improvements in strength, endurance and skill.
often linked with ‘progressive overload’

Question 3

what is reversibility

Answer 3

fitness gains/ adaptations achieved through training can be lost if training is stopped or reduced.
emphasises the importance of consistent training t maintain performance levels

Question 4

what is overload

Answer 4

a concept of stressing the body slightly beyond its current capability, creating a stimulus for physiological adaptations.

Question 5

what are the physiological adaptations associated with overload

Answer 5

increased muscle strength/power/speed
increased CV fitness
increased anaerobic/aerobic thresholds
muscle fibre development/hypertrophy
skill development

Question 6

what factors affect overload

Answer 6

F - frequency - how often are you training?
I - intensity - how hard are you training?
T - time - how long are you training?
T - type - what type of training are you doing?

Question 7

what is progressive overload

Answer 7

the gradual increase of intensity, duration and volume of training (decrease in recovery) to place more stress on the body, acting as a stimulus for physiological adaptations

Question 8

what is
