EXTENSION ANSWERS We train to improve fitness, skills & to avoid injury. A set of rules or guidelines to follow in order to gain a training effect. The principles of training are: Specificity - doing something that is particular to your sport or necessary to gain a particular training effect. Progression- continually moving what you do forward so that it gets harder or continues to challenge you. Overload- the process of putting stress on the body so that it can respond to training & adapt to that training stimulus. Reversibility - If you don’t maintain your fitness levels you lose the benefits that you gained. Tedium - training needs to be interesting to keep you motivated. If you always do the same thing we become bored. Disadvantages are that it puts a lot of stress on the joints & it’s got limited uses. Advantages are that it’s cheap, doesn’t require expensive machinery or equipment & you can do it anywhere, anyone can do it. If you don’t train often enough you gain no benefits, if you don’t train hard enough you gain benefit which is also the case for not putting enough time in or training in the right ways.

EXAM ANSWERS Working for a short period of time maximally & resting between work periods. Bicep curls, sit ups, squats. Interval, fartlek, continuous, circuit, aerobic, weight, plyometric, flexibility, skill agility & quickness (SAQ). How hard, how long & how often. What are you training for, your age, current fitness, training thresholds & zones, maximum heart rate, what system is used most, skill level. Improve fitness, avoid injury, improve skills, enjoyment, improve body shape & muscle tone. Working at a level that doesn’t change. Put the body under stress so it adapts to training by increasing frequency , intensity, time or type of training. So that you continue to gain training effects rather than reach a plateau & not develop any more. Continuous changing of pace, level & terrain over a set period of time. If training stimulus is removed due to injury /break in training, any gains made will be lost due to a lack of stimulus. Muscles weaken, lose stamina & tone as they atrophy. Specificity, progression, overload, reversibility, tedium. Increase strength, speed, stamina, suppleness, muscle tone, body shape. Change of speed, level, duration & terrain. Running, swimming, cycling, football, hockey, rugby (any sport needing maximal effort over short periods of time) Running, swimming, cycling. Frequency, intensity, time & type of training - running harder, for longer, more often & in different ways.
