Soc 5- Principles of Training Flashcards
What is specificity?
Particular requirements of an activity.
What is progressive overload?
Gradually increasing thr amount of overload to gain fitness without the risk of injury.
What is individual needs?
Matching training to the requirements of an individual.
What is frequency?
How often someone trains over a 7 day period.
What is intensity?
How hard someone trains- normally measured by a %.
What is time?
How long each training session must last for there to be any benefit or improvement.
What is type?
Most appropriate method of training to achieve a goal.
Example of Specificity
Rugby backs doing plyometrics to increase their speed as they need to be fast and agile.
Example of Progressive Overload
Someone running 5km at 60% of their max heart rate and then increasing to 70% the next week.
Example of Individual Needs
A runner working at the intensity their level is at. Not training at the same level a professional run would.
Example of Frequency
Someone training at the gym 2 times a week then gradually increasing it to train 4 times a week.
Example of intensity
A runner running faster than they normally would and increasing their heart rate from 60 to 80%.
Example of Time
To increase cardiovascular fitness, you must be running the target zone for at least 20 mins.
Example of Type
Sprinter doing interval training to improve speed
What is training threshold?
A safe and effective level to train at.
