Fitness Components
Nota:
Physical fitness is considered a measure of the body’s ability to function efficiently, effectively and without injury in work and leisure activities, to pursue recreational activities and to cope with emergency situations.
Health Related
Nota:
Health-related fitness components are those that are more important to health than to athletic or sporting ability
Aerobic capacity
Nota:
The ability of our Cardiovascular and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to working muscles during exercise;
Anaerobic capacity
Nota:
the ability of the body to produce energy without using oxygen
Muscular strength
Nota:
the amount of force that a muscle or group of muscles can exert against resistance in a single maximal contraction
Muscular endurance
Nota:
The ability of a muscle or muscle group to sustain repeated contractions for an extended period of time whilst resisting fatigue
Flexibility
Nota:
The ability to move our joints through their full range of movement
Body Composition
Nota:
the relative percentage of body fat compared to lean body mass
Skill Related
Nota:
Skill-related components improve a person’s physical performance in motor skills.
Muscular Power
Nota:
An explosive contraction of the muscles. A contraction with speed and force
Speed
Nota:
The ability to move all or part of the body as quickly as possible from one point to another
Agility
Nota:
the ability to change direction quickly whilst maintaing balance
Coordination
Nota:
The ability to carry out a series of movements smoothly and efficiently based on input from the senses
Balance
Nota:
the ability to maintain body equilibrium while stationary (static) or moving (dynamic)
Reaction Time
Nota:
the amount of time from receiving a stimulus to starting a response
Training needs to be specific to the activity you are training for.
The Fitness components, Energy Systems, Muscle groups & Movement Patterns.
Intensity
Nota:
Intensity will depend on what energy system you are focusing on.
AEROBIC ZONE: 70-85% max HR
ANAEROBIC ZONE: 85-100% max HR
Can be measured by METS, Borgs RPE, %maxHR, talk test
Duration
Nota:
Can mean 2 things
1) How long a session lasts (at least 30mins for aerobic activities)
2) How long a training program goes for (12 weeks to see improvement in aerobic capacity)
Overload
Nota:
Overload should be applied when adaptations have occurred in the athletes body.
GUIDELINES
only change one factor at a time
Intensity change by max 2%
Duration (work or rest), Load (sets/reps/weight) by max 10%
Frequency
Nota:
To Improve: minimum of 3 sessions per week
To Maintain: minimum of 2 sessions per week
Maintenance
Nota:
To maintain ones current fitness levels, you must train at least 2 times per week
Diminishing returns
Nota:
The closer an athlete gets to the genetic potential, the harder/slower it will be for them to improve
Variety
Nota:
Incorporating variety into a training program will aid in the motivation of the athlete.
Can be done by changing the type of activity (running>cycling), Location (treadmill>park) or who you train with.
