Strength and Conditioning Test 1

What is SAID principle

Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands

• the body will adapt to the specific demands placed on it

• results have to be specific for each client

Progressive Overload

• the body only adapts to training that is stressful

• you need to overload for adaption to occur

• increases in muscle and connective tissue strength,and bone mass

Exercise freq, exercise variation, exercise duration, exercise intensity, load,

Principles of variation

• the stresses have to change

• try changing postures

Reversibility

if you don’t train a component of fitness it will revert back.

• use it or lose it

• aerobic and maximal strength 30 (5) thirty plus or minus five days

• speed degrades in a few days

General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)

describes the body’s physiological response to stress, three distinct phases of stress

• alarm phase, initial response to the session

• resistance phase, body is returned to pre session, or adapted to higher state

• exhaustion phase, synonymous with overtraining

Phase Potentiation

dividing training into distinct phases that focus on specific training goals.

• training blocks

• introduction and removal of training stress

Stages of Learning

Cognitive- basic movements

Associative-detect errors, but not fully understand corrections

Autonomous- detect and correct movements

Inverted U

If we don’t have enough challenge, we are often bored, If there is too much challenge, we are burned out

Motor Learning Principles

principle of interest- How much interest a person has will be a strong predictor of performance

principle of practice-
