Objectives of Exercise and Sports Training
- Identify the key principles governing exercise and sports training.
- Understand the significance of incorporating these principles into exercise programs.
Principle of Individuality
- Every individual has a unique response to training based on factors such as genetics, muscle fiber types, life circumstances, and mental state.
Principle of Specificity
- Training must be tailored to specific activities to achieve desired adaptations.
Principle of Progression
- Gradual overload is essential; the body needs time to adapt to increased demands.
Principle of Overload
- To enhance performance, the workload must be increased over time.
Principle of Variety
- Incorporating diverse training methods prevents boredom and promotes a comprehensive development of fitness.
Principle of Adaptation
- The body adjusts to consistent exercise levels, leading to improved efficiency and reduced recovery times after initial soreness.
Principle of Reversibility
- Fitness gains diminish quickly if regular activity ceases; consistent engagement is crucial for maintaining benefits.
Principle of Recovery
- Adequate rest is necessary for the body to repair and prevent exhaustion or injuries, encompassing both short- and long-term recovery periods.
FITT Principle
- Frequency: Number of times an activity is performed weekly.
- Intensity: Level of effort exerted during physical activities.
- Type: Classification of exercises (e.g., aerobic vs. strength training).
- Time: Recommended 20-60 minutes of aerobic activity daily, which can be broken into 10-minute segments.
Repetition vs. Set
- Repetition (rep): One complete execution of an exercise (e.g., one push-up).
- Set: A group of consecutive repetitions (e.g., 10 push-ups as one set).
Reminders
- A quiz is scheduled for September 2 – 14, 2024.
