########## Describe how you used the principles of training in your Personal Exercise Plan. flash card #2 I also did Circuit Training because it will improve my local muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness and circulo-respiratory fitness and Circuit Training develops fitness as well.
########## Discuss the most appropriate training methods for a rugby player flash card #1 The best training methods for a rugby player are sprints and intervals on the field which will tax their anaerobic system. Cardio equipment can also be very useful. Due to the constant demands on their legs while playing rugby, the joints will need time to unload.
########## Discuss the most appropriate training methods for a rugby player flash card #2 To continue to work on their cardiovascular system, they should use cardiovascular equipment to supplement some of their conditioning. When using cardio equipment, l they should use equipment with low impact, like an elliptical or bike....
########## Discuss the most appropriate training methods for a rugby player flash card #3 so that they can work the cardiovascular system without stressing the legs. Cardio equipment may also be used to help tap into the high-intensity anaerobic systems. Due to the fact that you can control the workload (speed, incline, watts, level etc.)
Explain the most important component of fitness for a 400m runner. flash card #1 Fitness training for 400m runners is all about getting your body in the right condition to be able to do the hard track speed training.
Explain the most important component of fitness for a 400m runner. flash card #2 The fitness needed can be attained in a number of ways, but the link is that they are all type of aerobic work, working on the cardio-vascular system and, hopefully, also low intensity work on the muscles needed in your event.
Explain the most important component of fitness for a 400m runner. flash card #3 Circuit Training is important - It is important to consider the muscles used for running so, half squats, calf raises and burpees are all important. However, the core (stomach and back) is also vital as are some upper body exercises for driving your arms.
