Understand the relevant theory and principles that Training Load model, Periodization, Parallel training model, Sequential Training
underpin training. Model,
Periodization vs Programming 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? by disturbing the current capacity of the system
What is supercompensation? Supercompensation is the effect whereby performance is enhanced if the
body is able/allowed to adapt.
What syndrome is supercompensation related to? General adaptation syndrome
What is general adaptation syndrome? 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? 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-fatigue model
fitness effect and a negative fatigue effect decay
exponentially over time but at different rates?
What is the dose-response relationship? relationship between the size of an administered dose and the intensity of the
response produced
What qualifies as external load? 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 Internal load
external load?
How is external load measured? 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 Metabolic Power
acceleration is equivalent to running at a constant
speed up an "equivalent slope"?
What is the most appropriate equation for quantifying Number of sets x number of repetitions x percent repetition max
resistance training load?
What is performance? A function of the difference between fitness and fatigue
Which central and peripheral sites contribute to Activation of the motor command (brain)
fatigue? 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? 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? 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? a model of sports performance wherein there is a unique consequence or or
outcome to every input or state
