Term | Definition |
---|---|
Specificity | specific to your sport/ activity - Specific training methods and exercises to develop the specific fitness requirements you need. |
Progressive Overload | The gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise training e.g. - Distance Duration Frequency Intensity of training |
Individuality | No athlete responds exactly the same way to the same stimulus. Everyone is different and for best results athletes need individualized training programs - individualized training programs for individual athletes |
Reversibility (detraining) | If you don’t maintain it, you loose it!!! - The Reversibility Principle dictates that athletes lose the beneficial effects of training when they stop working out |
Recovery | Without adequate rest between training sessions or even too much rest the improvement from the training effect will not be optimal. |
Frequency | Number of training sessions per week |
Intensity | How hard each training session will be Usually measured by heart rate |
Duration | Refers to either the length of each training session or to the number of weeks over which a training program is conducted. The duration of a session or program will depend on the type of activity |
Variety | To avoid boredom and maintain motivation vary the training Varying the training will also assist to shorten plateaus. |
Balance | Maintain a state of equilibrium at rest or motion. |
Coordination | The ability to perform complex movement skills with accuracy and timing. |
Muscular strength | The capacity of the muscles to exert MAXIMUM force against resistance. |
Muscular power | The ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in accelerating, jumping and throwing implements |
Speed | distance over Time |
Flexibility | The ability to move joints through there entire range of motion - health related |
Aerobic capacity | - The ability of the body to perform sustained physical activity without undue fatigue. - related to the capacity of the heart and lungs and blood vessels to transport oxygen to the working muscles and remove waste products from them. |
Muscular endurance | The ability to exert a force repeatedly over a long period of time. |
body composition | proportion of total body weight that is composed of fat VS other tissues. |
Agility | The ability to change direction quickly |
cardiac hypertrophy (“athlete’s heart”) | The heart’s mass and volume greatly increase with long-term aerobic training and moderate increases are associated with normal training adaptations. |
Increased a-vO2 difference | meaning more oxygen is extracted from the blood by the muscles increasing exercise efficiency |
Increased VO2 | may benefit ventilatory endurance (enhances inspiratory muscles’ endurance) at sub-maximal levels. |
what is a macro cycle? | one month block of training program |
What is a microcycle? | A one week block of the training program |
what is Cardiac hypo-trophy ? | The thickening of the hearts muscles. |
