• If you can think of sporting examples of when each is used........BONUS POINTS!!

Learning Objectives

By the end of the lesson you will be able to…..

Principles of Training

There are different ways in which we can improve FITNESS and there are certain PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING which need to followed to do so.

The PRINCIPLES of TRAINING are the rules to follow when using physical activity programmes.

Principles of TrainingWhat would be the difference between these two marathon

runners training programmes?

Write down as many differences

as you can

Principles of Training

S- SPECIFICITY

P- PROGRESSION

O- OVERLOAD

R- REVERSIBILITY

Specificity—Progression---Overload---Reversibility---Frequency---Intensity---Type---Time

SPOR(T)!

Specificity

• Training needs to be specific to the athletes sport/position.

Specificity—Progression---Overload---Reversibility---Frequency---Intensity---Type---Time

Progression

• Progression is when our body becomes use to the overload and then we progress the overload by making the training more difficult.

• Training needs to demonstrate a steady increase if we are to become better through our training.

Specificity—Progression---Overload---Reversibility---Frequency---Intensity---Type---Time

Overload

• In order to improve through training we need to apply greater demands on our body. This is the principle of OVERLOAD.

• Muscular strength is the prime example where we need to ‘overload’ our muscles. By placing greater demands on our bodies means strength will improve.

Specificity—Progression---Overload---Reversibility---Frequency---Intensity---Type---Time

Reversibility

• Your general fitness level changes all the time – therefore if you stop training you will lose fitness.

• If you do not use overload and progression then reversibility will occur.

USE IT OR LOSE IT!Specificity—Progression---Overload---Reversibility---Frequency---Intensity---Type---Time

Listen to the callers and see if you can identify why their training programmes are not being successful. What tips would you give them?

Agony Aunt Time!!!

Principle of Training 2

• Frequency – how often we train

• Intensity – how hard we train

• Type – what kind of training we do

• Time – how long we train

Specificity—Progression---Overload---Reversibility---Frequency---Intensity---Type---Time

Exam Style Question

Principle Definition True/False

Specificity Making the training match the demands of the sport

Progression Training harder than I would normally

Overload Gradually increasing the amount of work I do

Reversibility Stopping the loss of fitness by increasing training

Read the definitions of each of the principles of training. Decide whether the definition is true or false.

ELT Task

Complete ‘What is a PEP’ section for next Monday 5th October. Should include:

Definitions of Health, Fitness.

What is a PEP?

• What does PEP stand for?• What different things will we include in our

PEP (think of what you have learnt so far in theory lessons that could be applied to a training programme)

• Define Health, Fitness and Exercise.• What types of fitness are there?• Skill Related and Healthy Related.

What is a PEP

• What must we consider.

• Your training programme needs to consider…

• F.I.T.T

• S.P.O.R.T

Recap Learning Outcomes

By the end of the lesson you will be able to…..• Define the principles of training• Explain why these principles need to be used

in a training programme.
