Understand the relevant theory and principles that underpin training. - answer✔Training Load
model, Periodization, Parallel training model, Sequential Training Model,
Periodization vs Programming - answer✔Periodization is a a macro-management strategy that
serves as a training blueprint, from which periods of time are assigned that target specific skills,
fitness, or performance related factors. Volume and intensity are inversely related. 1-3
peaks/macrocycles per year
Programming is an operation of strategic thinking which is best accomplished when ongoing
monitoring is integrated into the periodization process.
How is biological adaptation achieved? - answer✔by disturbing the current capacity of the
system
What is supercompensation? - answer✔Supercompensation is the effect whereby performance is
enhanced if the body is able/allowed to adapt.
What syndrome is supercompensation related to? - answer✔General adaptation syndrome
What is general adaptation syndrome? - answer✔The framework of interaction between the
imposed training stress, acute fatigue response, adaptation, and a new level of
homeostasis/performance.
How does overtraining syndrome develop? - answer✔After continued high volume, high
intensity training or both when an athlete is over-reached.
Which training model is when performance of a positive fitness effect and a negative fatigue
effect decay exponentially over time but at different rates? - answer✔Fitness-fatigue model
What is the dose-response relationship? - answer✔relationship between the size of an
administered dose and the intensity of the response produced
What qualifies as external load? - answer✔Amount of weight lifted, distance/speed of running,
its what an athlete has done.
What is it called when an athlete has responded to an external load? - answer✔Internal load
How is external load measured? - answer✔camera systems, global positioning systems, local
positioning systems, often in conjunction with other sensors such as accelerometers and power
meters.
What is the principle that the energy cost of acceleration is equivalent to running at a constant
speed up an "equivalent slope"? - answer✔Metabolic Power
What is the most appropriate equation for quantifying resistance training load? -
answer✔Number of sets x number of repetitions x percent repetition max
What is performance? - answer✔A function of the difference between fitness and fatigue
Which central and peripheral sites contribute to fatigue? - answer✔Activation of the motor
command (brain)
Propagation of the action potential through the descending motor pathway
Myofilament excitation-contraction coupling
Status of the intracellular milieu
What is Psychobiological model of fatigue? - answer✔Modification of intensity whereby fatigue
occurs when the effort required exceeds maximal effort the athlete is willing to exert or when the
athlete believes the effort has been maximal and it feels impossible to continue.
What is the Integrative governor theory? - answer✔Suggests both psychological and
physiological factors limit performance with a particular focus on subconscious avoidance of
catastrophic failure due to severe disruptions in homeostasis.
what is the deterministic model of training? - answer✔a model of sports performance wherein
there is a unique consequence or or outcome to every input or state
What is a dynamic systems theory of training? - answer✔a model of sports performance used to
describe complex behavior across complex and dynamic systems
What are positive adaptation measures when measuring heart rate? - answer✔Improvements in
heart rate variability and heart rate recovery at rest and post exercise.
In which environments and with what frequency of monitoring of HRV is a good indication of
positive adaptation? - answer✔Team sports when used at least once a week
Individual sports when used at least once a week
When is there limited usefulness with measuring HR(V)? - answer✔When measuring less than
once a week or when neuromuscular and cognitive function are the main determinants of sport.
