BTEC Sport - (Both types) principles of training - Lesson 6

Specificity is........

• How hard a person should train each week

• The method of training used to train a specific focus

• Training where you gradually increase the intensity over time

• The time spent on your training session

'The training should gradually increase in intensity over the duration of the training programme' is the definition for which principle of training?

• Adaptation

• Progressive Overload

• Rest and recovery

• reversibility

Which of the following is an example of progressive overload?

• Once i could run 3 miles comfortably, I increased the distance to 3.5 miles

• As I have been injured. I reduced my distance to 2 miles.

• I focused on running as far as I could. This would mean my aerobic endurance would be better.

• I wanted to improve quickly, so I went from running 3 miles to running 10 miles the next week.

How many advanced principles of training are there?

• 10

• 6

• 7

• 9

Identify the two other advanced principles of training that help adaptation occur.

• Specificity

• Rest and recovery

• Progressive overload

• Reversibility

Which advanced principle of training will happen if you were to become injured?

• Variation

• Reversibility

• Adaptation

• Rest and recovery

Why might the England cricket team be playing football as part of their training?

• Because it is specific to the sport of cricket

• To prevent reversibility

• To use variation so that boredom is prevented

• To make sure that adaptations occur

Why is rest and recovery important?

• To allow progressive overload to occur

• To allow reversibility to occur

• To allow variation to occur

• To allow adaption to occur

All athletes need to rest and recover. Which advanced principle of training does 'over training link with'?

• Specificity

• Variation

• Progressive overload

• Reversibility

Other than injury, identify another way that reversibility could occur.

• Injury

• Changing clubs

• Changing trainer

• Becoming demotivated
