Cards in this deck (22)
- 1what are the main factors that need to be considered when deciding what method to use?-requirement of the sport
-facilities available
-individuals current level of fitness - 2interval training-especially suited for team sports as it has short bursts, followed by slow jog or stop
-interval training is high-intensity periods of work followed by periods of rest
-the aim is to have a high-intensity, high-quality workout
-mainly designed for speed but also improves cv fitness - 3advantages of interval training-includes rest periods which allow recovery
-includes repetitions of high-quality work which can raise the pulse rate near maximum. This will improve cv fitness
-it takes place over short periods or bursts - 4disadvantages of interval training-can be very intense so needs full commitment and motivation
-some people may find repeating intervals boring
-outdoor training can be dependant on the weather - 5continuous training-continuous training is steady training
-most suitable to improve cardiovascular endurance and is good for unfit/untrained people
-good for long distance athletes
-usually lasts for at least 15 minutes - 6advantages of continuous training-can be done individually or in groups
-improves aerobic fitness as it includes long, slow activity-improves cv fitness
-cheap
-can be adapted to individual needs and use the FITT principle
-a wide range of activities can be used: swimming, cycling jogging etc - 7disadvantages of continuous training-does not improve anaerobic fitness so games players would need other raining as well
-some people find it boring
-outdoor training can be dependant on the weather - 8fartlek training-combination of fast and slow running
-suitable for games such as netball and football as it includes short bursts of activity
e.g sprinting with short rest intervals - 9advantages of fartlek training-can take place over different terrain and landscapes
-programmes can be flexible
-rest periods can be included
-suitable to most games and general fitness programmes - 10disadavanatges of fartlek training-there may not be suitable terrain nearby or limited options
-individual needs to be highly motivated
-outdoor training could be weather dependant - 11circuit training-primarily improves muscular and cardiovascular endurance
-involves a number of exercises at stations
-arranged to avoid exercising the same muscles consecutively
-suitable for a wide range of activities; football, boxing, tennis etc - 12advantages of circuit training-better for general all round fitness ten interval, continuous to fartlek
-it can combine muscular strength, muscular endurance, agility, coordination, power, speed and cv fitness
included aerobic and anaerobic activities
-equiptment does not need to be expensive
-uses the principle of progressive overload - 13disadvantages of circuit training-this circuit needs to be well planned
-it is important to work hard at each circuit
-if the circuit is to improve fitness the skills stations like coordination and balance should not be included as they will lower the HR - 14weight training-weight training uses progressive resistance-in the form of the actual weight lifted or the number of times it is lifted
-it is used to increase muscular strength, muscular endurance, speed, develop muscle bulk and rehabilitate after illness or injury - 15what should you think about when constructing a weight training schedule?-number of exercises
-exercises for each muscle group
weights used
-number of repetitions
-number of sets
-how fast the exercise is done
-length of rest between sets
-frequency of training - 16advantages of weight training-used to improve muscular strength, muscular endurance or power
-there is a wide variety of exercises from which to choose
it can be easy to monitor progress and overload - 17disadvantages of weight training-need suitable facilities
-need special equipment
-may need spotters
-need knowledge of safety and technique - 18plyometrics-these are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time
-these exercises aim to increase your muscles elastic strength and explosivness, which increases your power
power = speed x strength - 19advantages of plyometrics-improves explosive fitness- power
-does not need expensive equipment
-exercises can be designed for specific performance - 20disadvantages of plyometrics-need to be fit before you start
-need knowledge of your event or a coach
-need to progress gradually, as rest and recovery are important - 21advantages of fitness classes-general and specific fitness workouts
-can help with health and well-being - 22disadvantages of fitness classes-expensive or involve payment in advance for the whole class
-sometimes classes are too far away
-times classes are difficult for some people to get
