GSCE PE - Principles of training
SPOR
Specificity
Progression
Overload
Reversibility
Definitions
Specificity - The training must be matched to the needs of the sporting activity and individual
Progression - The training becomes gradually more difficult
Overload - The body must work harder than normal so there is some stress and discomfort. Adaptation and progression will follow overload because the bod will respond to the stress.
Reversibility - Any adaptation that takes place as a result of training will be lost if you stop training.
FIIT
Frequency - The number of training sessions each week.
Intensity - How hard you train.
Time - How long you train for.
Type - Which method of training you use.
Examples
Specificity - A sprinter would carry out more anaerobic training because the event is mostly anaerobic in nature.
Progression - A weightlifter will be able to increase the weight they can lift over time as they increase the intensity, duration and frequency of training.
Overload - In weight training, the lifter will eventually attempt heavier weights or increase reps in order to create overload.
Reversibility - A track athlete's VO2 max and strength will decrease if they injure themselves and are unable to train for a period of time.
Frequency - An elite athlete may train everyday whereas a lower level club player may train once a week.
Intensity - A sprinter might work really hard using HITT training for a short period of time whereas a lone distance athlete will work at a lower intensity but over a longer period.
Type - The Brownlee Brothers (triathlon) will train all areas of fitness but pay particular attention to aerobic and muscular endurance because of the nature of their sport.
