    Study Notes

    Distinction Between Principles of Practice and Principles of Training

    • Principles of Practice: Focus on skill development and technique refinement during individual training sessions; aim for short-term improvements in performance through specific drills.
    • Principles of Training: Relate to long-term programs designed for overall physical development including fitness, strength, and endurance; emphasize systematic planning and goal setting for sustained progress.

    Key Principles of Training (REMEMBER SPORT & RAID)

    • Specificity: Ensure training relevance to the athlete’s sport; for instance, sprinters benefit from plyometric training for speed and power enhancement.
    • Progressive Overload: Gradual increase of training stress to promote strength and endurance; example: a hurler advancing from squatting 80kg to 82.5kg to enhance leg strength.
    • Reversibility: Improvements can be lost if training ceases; approximately 10% of muscular strength and 40% of endurance may decline within 8 weeks, with aerobic endurance declining faster than strength.
    • Tedium: Boredom from repetitive training can hinder improvement; varied and engaging routines are essential for maintaining motivation.
    • Rest, Recovery & Overtraining: Incorporate rest days to prevent overtraining and facilitate progress. Symptoms of overtraining include decreased performance, insomnia, excessive fatigue, and higher injury rates.

    Additional Concepts in Training

    • Adaptation: The body’s ability to adjust to a training regimen over time; initial struggles may give way to improved performance as the athlete becomes conditioned.
    • Individual Needs: Customization of training programs is crucial, taking into account the athlete’s gender, age, fitness level, and injury status; young athletes require different protocols than adults.
    • Diminishing Returns: Early training yields quicker improvements; as individuals advance, achieving further gains demands increased effort; elite athletes often chase marginal gains of just 0.5-1%.

    FITT Formula for Progressive Overload

    • Frequency: The number of training sessions per week; increasing the frequency can break training plateaus (e.g., from once to twice a week for specific drills).
    • Intensity: The challenge level of workouts; athletes may taper intensity before events to ensure recovery. Measured using the RPE Chart where 10 represents maximal effort.
    • Time: Duration of training sessions; longer sessions generally support fitness improvement.
    • Type: Variety in training modalities; includes Circuit, Continuous, Interval, Fartlek, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), and Weight Training.
