Understand the relevant theory and principles that underpin training. - CORRECT
ANSWERS✔️✔️Training Load model, Periodization, Parallel training model,
Sequential Training Model,
Periodization vs Programming - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️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? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔b
️ y disturbing
the current capacity of the system
What is supercompensation? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Supercompensation is
the effect whereby performance is enhanced if the body is able/allowed to adapt.
What syndrome is supercompensation related to? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✔️✔️General adaptation syndrome

What is general adaptation syndrome? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️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? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️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? -
CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Fitness-fatigue model
What is the dose-response relationship? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️relationship
between the size of an administered dose and the intensity of the response
produced
What qualifies as external load? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️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? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✔️✔️Internal load
How is external load measured? - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️camera systems,
global positioning systems, local positioning systems, often in conjunction with
other sensors such as accelerometers and power meters.
What is the principle that the energy cost of acceleration is equivalent to running
at a constant speed up an "equivalent slope"? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✔️✔️Metabolic Power
