Types of Training Flashcards
What are the 4 types of trainingfor aerobic endurance?
Continuous
Fartlek
Circuit
Interval
Advantages of Continuous Training
No equipment needed
easy to organise and carry out
training can be sport specific
Good for building aerobic endurance
Disadvantages of continuous training
Long distance training can be monotonous
risk of injury if running on a hard surface
only develops aerobic and not anaerobic
Fitt principles that can be used for continuous training
F - do it more days in a week
I - work at a harder level, push yourself further
T - do it for longer when you get better
T - change it to cycling or swimmig
Advantages for Fartlek training
can be made sport specific
easy to organise and carry out
performer can control the intensity of training
adds variety to training
disadvantages for fartlek training
need to have someone monitor training so they don’t drop intensity
need good self discipline to stick to rest periods and intensity of training
Fitt principles that can be used for fartlek training
F - do it for more days in a week
I - work at a harder level, increase speed on each area
T - do it for longer without a rest
T - uphill, downhill
Advantages of interval training
easy to measure progress and improvement
mix aerobic and anaerobic exercises
easy to see when athletes aren’t trying
easy to organise and carry out
disadvantages of interval training
can become boring
difficult to keep going for long periods
requires a certain level of fitness to work at a high intensity
Fitt principles that can be used for interval training
F - Do it more times per session
I - work at a higher level, run aster per interval
T - train longer
T - swimming or cycling intervals
Advantages for circuit training
Develops strength and endurance.
Appropriate form of training for most sports.
Can be adjusted to suit age, fitness and health of the athlete.
Exercises are simple enough to make each athlete feel a sense of achievement in completing them.
A wide range of exercises to select from which will maintain the athlete’s enthusiasm
disadvantages for circuit training
Many exercises require specialised equipment - e.g. gym equipment.
Ample space required to set up the circuit exercises & equipment.
In general can only be conducted where appropriate facilities/equipment are available.
Use of additional equipment requires appropriate health and safety monitoring.
Fitt principles that can be used for circuit training
F - do it more times a week
I - improve the intensity of the circuit
T - do the circuit more times a session
T - change up the circuit
