- Training Methods
- 1. Periodization
- Breaks down training program into distinct periods of time
- Purpose: maximize performance at peak time, and decrease injury and mental burnout
- 3 periods: off-season, in-season, pre-season
- 2. Concurrent Training
- Train multiple energy systems by performing different types of training at the same time
- AKA cross-training
- Good for someone trying to lose weight, tone up, keep up their fitness level
- 3. Interval Training
- Alternating periods of intense exercise with periods of recovery w/i the same workout
- Get used to lactic acid
- Good for endurance sports
- Example: a runner trying to improve 10km time does 6-8 reps of 1000m
- 4. Fartlek Training
- Swedish = speed-play
- Same as interval training but more flexible
- Set intense/rest periods based on how you feel
- 5. Resistance Training
- Most common form is weightlifting
- Uses principles of overload, resistance training can lead to:
- Muscle mass and strength gain
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Prevent injury
- 6. Plyometric Training
- Stretch-shortening exercises
- Resistance training where you use the weight of your own body as reistance
- Pre-stretch phase builds up muscular energy before an explosive movement releases it
