Type of Training / The reason for your choice

Which methods of training are you going to use to monitor your progress over 6 weeks and why?

Principles of Training

In order to make your training programme effective, you will need to apply the principles of training over the 6 week period as you become fitter.

S.P.O.R.R.I.

Principle of Training / Description
Specificity
Progressive Overload
Rest & Recovery
Individual Differences / Needs

Explain the components of the FITT principle and describe how they overlap with Progressive Overload.

Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type

Explain the term ‘Reversibility.’

Goal Setting is an important part of any Training Programme, briefly describe why this is so?

Goals can be split into Short & Long Term. Describe the difference between the two and for your chosen activity list the short and long term goals needed for success.

Differences:
Short Term Goals / Long Term Goals

Goals need to be SMART describe why this is important.

SMART / Description
S – specific
M – measurable
A – achievable
R – realistic
T – time-bound

Monitoring

It is important to monitor your training programme making brief notes after each session and recording your Heart Rate (HR) before, during and after exercise, along with noting changes in your recovery rate.

Why is it important to monitor HR before, during and after exercise?

Before
During
After

What does Recovery Rate mean?

What does Recovery Rate indicate?

Complete the table below in as much detail as possible. Show all your working out where appropriate.

Resting Heart Rate
Maximum Heart Rate
Aerobic Threshold
Anaerobic Threshold

What is meant by your Target Zone and how can you monitor that during the training session?

My personal training thresholds and target zones

Aerobic target zone = between 60% and 80% of MH

= ……………..bpm > ……………bpm

Anaerobic target zone = between 80% and 90% of MHR

= ……………… bpm > …………………bpm

Complete the graph below, adding the following:

·  Title

·  Resting Heart Rate

·  Aerobic threshold

·  Anaerobic threshold

·  Target zone

·  Recovery period

·  Label both axis

Section 4

Complete the tables after each session, describing how you felt, whether the intensity was correct & what changes you might make, if any, for the following session. You also need to keep a record of how many reps you managed to achieve on each station and use that as a target for next week.

Results Analysis

This section is very important as you are able to look at your progress throughout the training programme.

1)  You now need to collate all your results together by putting them into charts, tables & graphs etc. that can be easily analysed ( You need to show the following for each week: Reps, Resting HR, HR during, HR after & Recovery rate)

2)  Now answer the following questions.

Looking at your results, are there any weeks in which your results dropped or got better? Can you give any explanation for this?

What happened to your resting HR over the 6 weeks?

Did your Recovery Rate reduce over time? If so, why?

Were you able to consistently stay within your Aerobic Target Zone? If not why?

How did you find the training programme?

Has it improved your performance for your chosen activity? Please give an explanation to your answer.

Post Test Results

Describe your current level of fitness
