Specialised Training
- ALTITUDE TRAINING
- Key Facts
- Over 2000m/8000ft above sea level
- Partial Pressure of oxygen is lower
- Takes 30 days to adapt
- Has 3 stages; Acclimatisation,
Primary Training and Recovery
- Causes body to
produce EPO
- Alternative methods include
hypoxic tents and oxygen
tents
- Benefits
- Delay OBLA
- Increase red
blood cells
- Increase concentration of haemoglobin
- Increase oxygen carrying capacity
- Last for 6-8 weeks
- Drawbacks
- Altitude sickness
- Loss of fitness due to same intensity training
- Benefits only last for a
few days once back at
sea level
- Psychological problems
- PLYOMETRICS
- Method of strength training
- Muscles can generate
more force if they've
previously been stretched
- PNF
- Advanced stretching technique
- Improves flexibility
- Facilitates
muscular inhibition
- Muscle should be
passively stretched first
- Then isometrically
against a resistance
- 10 seconds
- Increased rang of
movement when
stretched again
- More
effective
with partner
- GLYCOGEN LOADING
- THERMOREGULATION
- PERIODISATION
- Dividing the training year
in to specific sections
- Macrocycle
- The big period
- E.g. 4 year Olympic cycle
- Long-term performance goal
- Made up of 3 periods
- Preparation
- Phase 1
- General conditioning training
- Low intensity
- Aerobic and muscular endurance
- Phase 2
- Competition specific training
- Increase in intensity
- Strength and Speed
- Introduce technique and tactics
- Prepare for competition
- Competition
- Phase 3
- 6-8 weeks
- Reduction in training volume
but increase competition
specific training
- Phase 4
- 4-6 weeks
- Competition kept to a minimum
- Phase 5
- 3-4 weeks
- Tapering
- Reduction in volume of training
prior to major competition
- Recovery
- Phase 6
- General fun exercises
- Injury free start
to next season
- Recharge physically and mentally
- Mesocycle
- Short term goal
- Within macrocycle
- Last for 2-8 weeks
- Specific component of fitness focus
- Microcycle
- 1 week cycle
- Repeated during mesocycle
- Ratio of 3:1 training to rest days
- LACTATE SAMPLING
- Take blood samples
to measure lactate
concentration
- Measure OBLA
- Longer delay of OBLA
the fitter you are
- Used by elite athletes
- Manipulate Training
- Correct intensity
- Training zone
- Predict performance
- Regular comparisons
- Monitor improvements
- RESPIRATORY EXCHANGE RATIO (RER)
- Ration of carbon dioxide produced
compared to oxygen consumed
- Carbs, fats and proteins are
oxidised to produce energy
- Source is dependant upon
energy system
- e.g. Respiratory component
