Principles of Training
- Specificity
- Training is relevant to the sport that the performer is training for. This can be achieved by concentrating training towards specific muscle groups.
- For example, a rower would train on a rowing machine
- Progressive Overload
- Gradually increasing the amount of work in training
so that the performer can experience the gains of
fitness without the potential of injury.
- Time
- e.g. 20min session, 25min session, 30min session
- How logn training is carried out
- Intensity
- e.g. 1 set of 5 reps (5kg), 2 sets of 5 reps (5kg), 2 sets of 5 reps (10kg)
- How hard the training session is
- Frequency
- e.g. Training once a week, to twice a week, to three times a week.
- How often training is carried out
- Type
- e.g. A shot putter would use weight training to improve their strength
- The type of training which is carried out (links to specificity)
- Individual Needs
- Matching the training to the requirements of the individual. Individual needs are assessed by carrying out fitness tests.
- Rest
- Recovery
- The time required for the body to repair from the damage done by physical activity. Overtraining can occur if this principle is not applied correctly.
- Allowing time for recovery.
- For example, a rest day can be put into a training programme and the intensity can be alternated.
- Reversibility
- Once you get fit you have to maintain, you can't work this
hard then mess up. A performer can suffer from
reversibility due to injury, illness or a holiday.
