About Methods of Training
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The mind maps are the largest group here. The Methods Of Training map covers fartlek (a Swedish word meaning speed play), cross training and more. The Training Methods map lists interval, cross, weight, fartlek, continuous and circuit training, each with a short description. Other maps cover Ergogenic Aids, PNF Stretching, Altitude Training and Periodisation Overview, which uses a footballer as a case study and starts with pre-season work.
Where to start
Begin with the principles: specificity, progressive overload, individual needs, rest, recovery and reversibility. The Principles of Training mind map sets these out, and the flashcard deck PE Principles of Training adds F.I.T.T. and S.P.O.R.T. Then move to the methods themselves, and after that to periodisation and specialised training.
- Read a principles map.
- Work through a methods map.
- Check key terms with flashcards, such as the deck of Edexcel GCSE PE key terms.
- Try the practice types deck, which covers massed and distributed practice.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz to see what stuck. The Methods of Training Quiz and FITT Test suit early revision. For professional certification, the page also lists chapter quizzes on resistance training, cardiorespiratory training and plyometrics, plus an ACE PT quiz and an NSCA quiz. Go back to the map for any question you miss.
Where this unit sits
This unit belongs to the Fitness, Training and Testing strand of Physical education and sport. It sits alongside testing material, such as the Prep of the Body map on fitness tests like the 12 minute Cooper test.
Open a map or quiz that matches your course, then make your own flashcards from the gaps you find.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start with Methods of Training?
Start with a principles of training mind map, then move to the Training Methods map, which lists interval, cross, weight, fartlek, continuous and circuit training. Once those feel familiar, take the Methods of Training Quiz to find gaps and return to the maps for anything you missed.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking that a resource matches your own course before relying on it.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention GCSE PE, A-level PE, BTEC Sport and NASM CPT, along with ACE and NSCA CSCS material for professional candidates. Most resources are at secondary level, with smaller groups for university students and professional candidates.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover principles of training, training methods, periodisation, altitude training, ergogenic aids, PNF stretching, HIIT, warm up and cool down, and somatotypes. Many break each method into short points on what it is and how it works, which makes them handy for quick revision.
Can I save my quiz scores or make my own resources?
A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. Building your own set from the topics you find hardest is a good way to revise.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby title. Stretching, for instance, appears in the PNF Stretching map, the Types of Stretches slides and the Flexibility flashcards. Strength and resistance work appear under several titles, such as Weight Training and Strength Training.
