Improving performance
How do athletes train for improved performance
Strength training
weight training e.g.. plates, dumbbells
Isometric training - resistance is fixed
Resistance training, e.g.. elastic, hydraulic
Anaerobic training (power and speed)
Plyometrics
Short interval
Developing power through resistance/weight training
Flexibility training
Dynamic
Ballistic
Static
Skills training
Modified and small games
Games for specific outcome e.g.. decision making, tactical awareness
Drills practice
Aerobic training
Long -interval
Fartlek
Continius
What are the planning considerations for improving performance
Initial planning considerations
Schedule of events/competition
Climate and season
Performance and fitness needs
Planning a training year (periodisation)
Sub phases (macro and micro cycles)
Peaking: phase of training in which performance is optimised to meet the demands of competition
phases of competition (pre-season, in-season and off-season)
tapering: The period immediately before competition when the volume and intensity of training is reduced
Components, skill requirements
elements to be considered when designing a training session
Providing an overview of session to athletes
warm up and cool down
Health and safety considerations
Skill instructions and practice
Conditioning
Evaluation
Planning to avoid overstraining
Physiological considerations eg. lethargy, injury
Psychological consideration eg. loss of motivation
Amount/intensity of training
What ethical considerations are related to improving performance
use of drugs
using drugs for aerobic perfromnace - erythropoietin (EPO)
Using drugs to mask other drugs e.g.. diuretics and alcohol
Using drugs for strength - Human growth hormone and anabolic steroids
Benefits and limitations of drug testing
The dangers of performance enhancing drugs e.g.. physical effects, loss of reputation , sponsorship and income
Technology
Training innovation (lactate threshold testing,biomechanics analysis )
Equipment advances (swimsuits, compression garments and golf ball)
