Study Notes
Principles of Training
- Training should be specific, not general or random, targeting beneficial adaptations for the sport or goal.
- Overload is required to achieve adaptations, increasing training stress through duration, intensity, and manipulation of work/rest intervals.
- Progressive Overload is necessary to maintain adaptations, with gradual and systematic increases in training stress.
- Reversibility occurs when adaptations are lost due to ceased or inadequate training, with a timeline of 2-3 weeks for cardiovascular and 4 weeks for muscular systems.
Importance of Rest and Recovery
- Rest and Recovery are crucial to avoid overtraining, balancing anabolic and catabolic phases.
- C + A is equal represents balance, while C is big + A is small indicates overtraining and C is small + A is big indicates insufficient overload.
Barriers to Sports and Exercise Participation
- Lack of Motivation can be overcome by setting realistic goals, finding enjoyable activities, and seeking support.
- Financial Constraints can be addressed through low-cost or free physical activity options, community resources, and discounts.
- Physical Limitations or Health Concerns require personalized exercise plans, low-impact or modified exercises, and gradual progression.
- Environmental Factors can be overcome by identifying indoor alternatives, such as home workouts or indoor sports leagues.
- Psychological Barriers can be addressed through positive self-talk, intrinsic motivation, and focus on improved health and enjoyment.
Additional Principles
- Variation is essential to avoid boredom and promote exercise adherence, incorporating different activities, locations, and training patterns.
- Individual Needs must be considered, including age, sex, disability, and injury, to develop personalized training programs.
- Adaptation occurs during the recovery phase, with early adaptation being mostly neuromuscular and high-intensity training eliciting adaptations sooner.
- Individuality acknowledges that everyone responds differently to training, and Diminishing Returns principle applies when unfit athletes begin a training regime, with rapid improvements initially and slowing down as they become fitter.
