HSC Core 2 Types of Training & Methods

Anaerobic training specifically develops:

• a. Power strength and speed

• b. Strength, endurance and agility

• c. Body composition, Power and Strength

• d. Strength, Speed and Reaction time.

Anaerobic training involves training that involves high intensity activity mostly in excess of:

• 75%

• 80%

• 85%

• 90%

Anaerboic training improves the recovery rates of the anaerobic energy systems and can potentially increase PC stores

• True

• False

Which of the following is the best example of anaerobic interval training?

• 100m sprints followed by 100m jog

• Jogging laps with decreasing rest at end of each lap

• Walking and Jogging for 30 secs each

• Running at 85% intensity and resting for decreased amounts of time between sprints

Interval Training (anaerobic) is best suited to which sports:

• Lawn Bowls, Softball, Soccer and Basketball

• AFL, Rugby League, Badminton and Darts

• Boxing, Rugby League, Futsal and Basketball

• Walking, 1500m run, High Jump and Diving

Flexibility is important to

• Reduce injury and soreness/tightening during and after events

• Increase range of movement

• Coordinate muscle groups

• All of the above

Continuous training would be best suited for which of the following:

• Sprinting

• Basketball

• Marathon running

• Speed skating

Continuous training for endurance events such as long distance swimming and running commonly needs the heart rate to be:

• Above the aerobic and anaerobic threshold

• At 55% of maximal heart rate for 30 minutes -2 hours

• Above the anaerobic threshold only

• In between the aerobic and anaerobic threshold at 60-80% of maximum heart rate for 30 minutes – 2hours

Continuous training for elite athletes would be at a frequency of:

• 5 times a week

• Daily

• 2-3 times per week

• Once a week

An example of Fartlek training is which of the following:

• Sprints that increase in intensity throughout the session that are repeated

• Sprints all at the same intensity

• Sprints that involve the athlete continuously exercising with sprints or a higher intensity effort

• Sprints are only low in intensity but are frequently repeated for the session.
