, Understand the relevant theory and principles that underpin training. - ANSWER: Training
Load model, Periodization, Parallel training model, Sequential Training Model,
Periodization vs Programming - ANSWER: Periodization is a a macro-management
strategy that serves as a training blueprint, from which periods of time are assigned that
target specific skills, fitness, or performance related factors. Volume and intensity are
inversely related. 1-3 peaks/macrocycles per year
Programming is an operation of strategic thinking which is best accomplished when
ongoing monitoring is integrated into the periodization process.
How is biological adaptation achieved? - ANSWER: by disturbing the current capacity of
the system
What is supercompensation? - ANSWER: Supercompensation is the effect whereby
performance is enhanced if the body is able/allowed to adapt.
What syndrome is supercompensation related to? - ANSWER: General adaptation
syndrome
What is general adaptation syndrome? - ANSWER: The framework of interaction between
the imposed training stress, acute fatigue response, adaptation, and a new level of
homeostasis/performance.
How does overtraining syndrome develop? - ANSWER: After continued high volume, high
intensity training or both when an athlete is over-reached.
Which training model is when performance of a positive fitness effect and a negative fatigue
effect decay exponentially over time but at different rates? - ANSWER: Fitness-fatigue
model
What is the dose-response relationship? - ANSWER: relationship between the size of an
administered dose and the intensity of the response produced
What qualifies as external load? - ANSWER: Amount of weight lifted, distance/speed of
running, its what an athlete has done.
What is it called when an athlete has responded to an external load? - ANSWER: Internal
load
