Record your answers on a whiteboard.

3. 6 mark structure Introduction- What is topic? Reasons for-
Reasons against-
Conclusion- Your opinion!!!

4. Aspire- Discuss, using examples, how the principles of training can improve the fitness of a group of GCSE PE students.
Challenge-Identify principles of training and explain how they can improve fitness.
Learning Outcomes

5. Principles of Training What are they?

6. Principles of training
Specificity- focussed training on the needs of the activity/ area of fitness.
Progressive Overload-gradually increasing intensity of workload.
Individual differences/needs- personalised training plan.
Rest and recovery- allowing time between training for sufficient rest and adaptations to take place.
Reversibility- if you decrease levels of exercise your level of fitness will drop.
FITT- Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type.
Principles of training

8. Give examples of how each principle of training can improve fitness.
TASK

9. Principles of training
Specificity- focussed training on the needs of the activity/ area of fitness. E.g Sprinters use short rest intervals, working anaerobically compared to long distance runners. Improving relevant aspect of fitness for their activity.
Progressive Overload-gradually increasing intensity of workload. E.g starting at 5KG increasing to 6KG when it gets too easy. Muscles adapt increasing strength.
Individual differences/needs- personalised training plan. E.g Jo lifts 15KG compared to Mike’s 25KG as she is not as strong. If she lifts too much she could get injured.
Rest and recovery- allowing time between training for sufficient rest and adaptations to take place. E.g Have training sessions on alternate days so body has time to recover/adapt and allow training again.
Principles of training

10. Part C- Effectively applied (not arguments against this time) Read the question!!
Must include examples of how to apply to fitness increasing.
Can you think of any examples????
Against???

11. Progressive Overload- by increasing workload slightly minimises risk of injury- therefore can continue to train without fear.
Progressive Overload- gradually increasing intensity causes body to adapt- increasing fitness.
If injured by not applying progressive overload means you have to reduce training- therefore losing fitness.
FITT- Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type- Start with 2 exercise sessions a week and then increase to 3 they have increased frequency- therefore bodies adapt to new level of training making them fitter.
Effectively applied?
