what does ISPORT stand for

Individual needs

specificity

progressive overload

overtraining

reversibility

threshold

what is individual needs

planning training based on what the person involved needs

what is specificity

training needs to be specific to the demands of the sport

what is progressive overload

to continue improving as a result of training, we must gradually increase the amount of work we do, without increasing potential for injury

what is over training

it is possible to overtrain, we must plan adequte amounts of time for rest and recovery within a training programme

what is reversibility

any improvement/change that takes place as a result of training will be reversed if u stop training

what are thresholds

ensures that we’re training at correct intensity

what is FITT

used to gradually increase the amount of work that body is doing to achieve overload and improve performanc

what is frequency

how often u train

what is intensity

how hard you train

what is type

the closer the match between type of training and activity the more the improvement

what is time

how long u train for
