Study Notes
Understanding Strength, Power, and Endurance
- Strength: Maximum force a muscle group can generate
- Power: Rate of performing work (Force * Distance / Time)
- Muscular Endurance: The capacity to sustain repeated muscle actions or a single static contraction
Aerobic and Anaerobic Power
- Aerobic Power: Rate of energy release by cellular processes that depend on oxygen availability
- Maximal Aerobic Power: Maximum capacity for aerobic ATP resynthesis
- Anaerobic Power: Rate of energy release by cellular processes that occur without oxygen
- Maximal Anaerobic Power: Maximum capacity of the anaerobic system to produce ATP
General Principles of Training
-
Individuality: Training programs must consider individual needs and abilities
-
Specificity: Adaptations are highly specific to the training activity and should match the athlete's performance goals
-
Reversibility: Training programs need maintenance plans to prevent fitness loss
-
Progressive Overload: Training stimulus must be progressively increased as the body adapts
-
Hard/Easy: Programs should alternate intense workouts with lower-intensity workouts to allow recovery and maximize adaptations
-
Periodization: Cyclical approach to training, gradually adjusting specificity, intensity, and volume for peak performance
Designing Resistance Training Programs
-
Training Needs Analysis:
- Muscle groups to train
- Type of training
- Energy systems to train
- Injury prevention considerations
Types of Resistance Training
- Static-Contraction (Isometric): Muscle contracts without changing length
- Free Weights: External weights used for exercises
- Eccentric Training: Muscle lengthens during contraction
- Variable-Resistance Training: Resistance varies throughout the range of motion
- Isokinetic Training: Muscle contracts at a constant speed
- Plyometrics: Explosive movements utilizing stretch-shortening cycles
- Electrical Stimulation Training: Electrical impulses stimulate muscle contractions
Periodization for Resistance Training
- Phase I: Muscular Hypertrophy: Focus on muscle growth
- Phase II: Strength: Focus on increasing strength
- Phase III: Power: Focus on developing explosiveness
- Phase IV: Peak Strength: Focus on maximizing strength for competition
- Phase V: Active Recovery: Focus on rest and recovery
Anaerobic and Aerobic Power Training Programs
- Training programs target specific energy systems:
- ATP-PCr System (Short sprints)
- Glycolytic System (Longer sprints, middle distance)
- Oxidative System (Longer distance)
Variables for Interval Training
- Exercise Interval Rate: Speed of the exercise interval
- Exercise Interval Distance: Distance covered during the interval
- Repetitions and Sets: Number of repetitions and sets per training session
- Rest Interval Duration: Length of rest or active recovery
- Active Recovery Activity: Type of activity during recovery
Types of Training
- Interval Training: Alternating high-intensity exercise with periods of rest or low-intensity exercise
- Continuous Training: Exercise without rest intervals, varying in intensity
- Interval-Circuit Training: Combines interval and circuit training, alternating high-intensity exercise with resistance exercises
