Principles and types of training Flashcards
What is the principles of training acronym?
SPORT
What does the principles of training’s acronym stand for?
Specificity
Progressive
Overload
Reversibility
Tedium
Explain S (principle of training)
Specificity - training must match requirements of activity to target certain muscle groups and skills
Explain P + O (principles of training)
Progressive overload - gradually increasing amount working training so that fitness gain occurs without a risk of injury
Explain R (principles of training)
Reversibility - as fitness improves with training it can decline if stopped
Explain T (principles of training)
Tedium - boredom of the exact same training
What is the acronym for the overload principles
FITT
What does the overload principle’s acronym stand for?
F - frequency
I - intensity
T - Time
T - type
Explain F (overload principles)
Frequency - gradually increasing how often you train
Explain I (overload principle)
Intensity - gradually increasing how hard you train
Explain the both Ts (overload principles)
Time - gradually increasing how often your train
Type - should closely match sport but can be interchanged
What should you do to all of the overload principles + why
Gradually increase to keep improving fitness
What are all 8 types of training
Continuous, fartlek, circuit, interval, HITT, plyometric, weight, static stretching
What is continuous training
Sub maximal aerobic training with no rest, minimum of 20 mins, improve CV and muscular endurance
What sports use continuous training
Swimming, marathon running, cycling
