define the term “undertraining”
failure to provide adequate stimulation to the body by training too infrequently, for too short a period of time, or at an insufficient intensity that will not generate the physical adaptations that are required for enhanced performance
define the term “training”
systematic, repeated performance of structured exercise sessions over a period of time, with the achievement of a specific goal in mind.
define the term “overtraining”
is what occurs if an athlete attempts to do more training than they are able to physically and/or mentally tolerate over a prolonged period.
define the term “overreaching”
is what happens when an athlete places stress on their body that is beyond their current limit of tolerance, but only for a short period of time.
outline the training principle of specificity
training adaptations are SPECIFIC to the type of activity being performed and to the volume and intensity of the exercise.
outline the training principle of progressive overload
systematically increasing the demands on the body is necessary for continued performance.
outline the training principle of recovery(rest)
athletes need adequate time to recover from training (and competition).
rest between training sessions
enough sleep
well balanced diet
periodization
outline the training principle of variety
systematic process of changing one or more variables (volume, intensity, technique etc.)
outline the training principle of reversibility (“use it or lose it”)
any adaptations tat takes places as a result of training will be lost if you stop training
outline the training principle of periodization
periodization is a structured, organized approach to training revolving around the completion of certain phases of training within a given time frame, with the aim of ensuring the athlete is in peak physical condition for the most important events of their sport
