Chapter 15

As with all exercise prescriptions, follows these principles: –Specificity (SAID) –Overload –Progression Chapter 19 Cont.

Chapter 19 Evaluate the sport via observation and performance: –Movement analyses –Physiological analyses –Injury analyses

Chapter 19 Profile the athlete as to: –Training status (injuries, how far along) –Training background/history –Experience with lifts –Weaknesses/strengths based on testing

Chapter 19 After the needs analysis, select major, multijointed core exercises that are used in the sport. Fill in the workouts with assistance exercises that are typically one-joint exercises.

Chapter 19 Sometimes core exercises or core training refers to training the abs, lower back, hips, and thighs—the center “core” of the body. Exercises should be selected that mimic the sport. Selection to take note of muscle balance. Other factors, such as available equipment, experience with lifts, and time must also be considered.

Chapter 19 Depends on many factors, but having hours rest tends to work for most Can have a split routine. May depend on the season and whether you are trying to gain or maintain.

Chapter 19 The first exercises should be power exercises, followed by large, multijointed strengthening, core exercises, ending with assistance exercises. You can also utilize various techniques, like: –Circuit training –Upper and lower body –Pushing and pulling (agonist & antagonist) –Supersets and compound (giant) sets

Chapter 19 We’ll see about rep assignments when we get to periodized programs, but basically, we’ll start with higher reps (volume) and lower intensities and eventually work up to lower volume with higher intensities.

Chapter 19 Volume is the product of sets x reps, or sets x reps x weight lifted, or total tonnage. Again, volume will be manipulated as part of a periodized plan.
