CH18 Program Design

Resistance training programs for athletes require

specificity, overload, and progression

What does SAID stand for

specific adaptations of imposed demands

what does SAID mean

the body adapts to specific type of training performed

what is the overload principle

increasing training demands beyond normal baseline to stimulate adaptations

what is the progression principle

gradually increasing training demands as athlete adapts to continue making improvements

what are the seven resistance training program design variables

needs analysis, exercise selection, training frequency, exercise order, training load and reps, volume, rest periods

what are two stages of needs analysis

evaluation of requirements and characteristics of the sport, assessment of the athlete

what are three components of a sport evaluation

movement, physiological, and injury analysis

what is movement analysis

body and limb movement patterns and muscular involvement

what is physiological analysis

evaluating strength, power, hypertrophy, and muscular endurance priorities

what is injury analysis

common sites for joint and muscle injury and causative factors

what factors are used to asses an athlete’s training status

type of training program, length of recent regular training participation, levels on intensity in previous training, exercise technique experience

what factors are looked at during an athlete assessment
