components of a training session

warm up condtioning phase cool down

warm up

Allows for the athlete to gradually transition from a resting state to a state of readiness increases muscle elasticity decreases injury risk. consists of aerobic phase and dynamic stretching

cool down

enhances recovery and returns body to pre exercies levels consists of 2 phases active recovery and static stretching

conditioning phase

the actual training that develops the muscle groups fitness components and energy systems used in the activity

time/ duration

refers to the duration of the training program, session or exercise within a session 

intensity

refers to the rate of perceived exertion conducting when training 

Type

refers to what the individual is doing within their training program mainly what the training method is

Specificity

refers to the process of replicating the characteristics of physical activity to ensure it benefits performance  

progression

a planned increase in training stimulus to cause a positive long term adaptation training improvements occur as our bodies adapt to new stresses 

diminishing returns

the rate of fitness improvement diminishes as the person comes closer to their genetic potential  

variety

in a training program is the need to introduce different exercises, skill drills, and formats to stimulate challenge and interest in the athlete

individuality

individual responses to  physical activity and adapting programs to  fit that  

maintenance

once an ideal level of fitness is acheived the level of effort to maintain is lower so training volume is decreased

Tapering

gradually reducing training load allowing their body to adapt and repair, in the days leading up to an event  

overtraining

a long term decline in performance associated with inadequate time to recover and adapt to training stresses  

Detraining

when training stops or is reduced beyond what is required to maintain levels of fitness
