1. JUsti

2. EAPI Activity
Create week 1 of your training programme. With a partner, attempt to justify each session using x1 psychological aspect and x1 physiological aspect. Remember to add in the detail – reps, sets, distances, work/relief ratio Justify effectively!

3. Psychological Theory Justification Topics
Task Analysis (skill continuums)
Types and Methods of Practice – What methods you used and why?
Transfer – have you encouraged it? How?
Theories of Learning – did you use any? Why?
Confidence
Stress, Anxiety
Leadership Theory
Guidance – have you used any? Why?
Individual differences – Personality / Motivation – How have or will these affect your training plan?
Control of Arousal – did you aim to get the athlete into the zone? Why?
How have you reduced stress levels for the performer? Somatic and cognitive? Why may this help the outcome?
Social Facilitation – any effects used or theories?
Group Dynamics – did you use any teamwork or group exercise? What may this encourage?
Goal Setting – did you use this in any way? Why?

4. Physiological Theory Justification Topics
Diet – how you may have used it to support and why?
Ergogenic aids – how any could be used to supplement and support training
Training principles – MRS VOPP Testing WC
Energy Systems: ATP-Pc Systems
Recovery – Alactacid and Lactacid
Altitude and Heat effects
Injury Prevention
Biomechanics (any aspect!)
Periodisation – How it has been used and why
Heart Rate Training Zones
Methods of training (Fartlek, Continuous, Interval, Circuits, weight Training, Plyometrics, PNF, Ballistic, Static, Dynamic)

5. I have isolated the skill and only used a partner in this practice to encourage massed practice for my performer in week one
I have isolated the skill and only used a partner in this practice to encourage massed practice for my performer in week one. This allows my performer to groove the skill over a period of time.
I have isolated the skill and only used a partner in this practice to encourage massed practice for my performer in week one. This allows my performer to groove the skill over a period of time, which may result in it becoming their dominant response. Therefore, when highly aroused, the skill may become subconscious and automatic.

6. Simple Exampled
Psychological justification
Physiological justification
In the first week, in order to improve the backhand in tennis I have used small practices using massed practice. This would enable the learner to being to groove the skill, and so that this becomes a dominant response or habit.
In week three, the deadlift exercises increase in repetitions and sets. This refers to the principle of Overload, which will encourage the rectus femoris to become stressed and therefore would encourage adaptations such as hypertrophy of the muscle faster.

7. Adaptations
Lastly, you will need to explain: The physiological benefits of your training programme (x4) The psychological benefits of your training programme (x4) Look carefully at your whole programme and think of long-term changes that could occur….

8. Long-Term Physiological Adaptations
Hypertrophy of muscles
Increased recruitment of muscle fibres
Increased peak bone density
Increased production of synovial fluid at the joints
Increased muscle tolerance to lactic acid
Increased strength of intercostal muscles and diaphragm
Cardiac Hypertrophy
Increased venous return
Decreased resting heart rate
Increased red blood cell production
Increased surface area of alveoli
Increased stores of myoglobin
Increased PC stores
Increased thickness of articular cartilage

9. Long-Term Psychological Adaptations
Increased intrinsic motivation
Increased levels of concentration or focus
Athlete can develop control of arousal or anxiety
Attribution retraining – they could blame external reasons for failure and internal for success
Increased sense of confidence and self-efficacy
Understand how to control aggressive behavior
Increased cohesion / group dynamics between themselves and team-mates
Could become more task-orientated as a performer rather than ego orientated
Could develop strategies to reduce social inhibition
May slightly alter their attitude towards certain aspects of sport or training
May have effectively grooved a skill to move towards a different learning phase in their weakness area
May have transferred a skill to the weaker side of their body (bilateral transfer)

10. One physiological benefit of the training programme would be that the performer may have developed hypertrophy of the rectus femoris muscle group, which may result in the production of more power when driving the ball in their golf swing as the cross-sectional area of the muscle has developed.
