Types of Training and Designing Training Programs (Slide 4) Activity 3: Match the terms Types of Aerobic Training Continuous / Uniform Fartlek Long Interval Typically involves periods of moderate intensity work e.g. running interspersed with high intensity bursts e.g. sprinting. The work / rest ratio can be dictated by how you feel as opposed to strict timings. Varying terrain and utilising hills is common in this type of training. Provides a foundation for most other methods of training because it is sustained, enduring and, in most cases, of low to moderate intensity. However, the level of intensity can be adapted to meet performance needs. Needs to be at least 20 mins of sustained work above the aerobic threshold to yield benefits. Periods of work interspersed with periods of recovery. The key to a successful session is correctly manipulating the work / rest ratio. Periods of work often last between 2-5 mins at submaximal pace with periods of recovery varying to as little as 30 seconds with the intention of not letting the heart rate drop too low. Variations to intensity, time and number of work periods can be used to suit specific needs PDHPE Enrichment Day 2017 Improving Performance Page 72

Types of Training and Designing Training Programs (Slide 4) Activity 5: Designing a Training Program Designing Training programs Having a structured triathlon training plan is essential for triathletes of all ability levels. A well-designed training plan greatly increases the return you get on your training investment, and also reduces the risk of injury and overtraining (1). The plan should incoporate the FITT princicples and the princples of training to maximise results. F - frequency - how many times per week should you train? I - intensity what is the target intensity of each session? T - time - how long should each session last? T - training activity - what exercise or training activity will help achieve the individual's fitness goals? Throughout the program principles of training such as progressive overload, specificity, variety and training thresholds, warm up and cool down should all be taken into account. Over the course of the training program certain aspects are manipulated to ensure progressive overlad. E.g. volume and intensity is gradually increased until the last week of the program where training is tapered. Each session is also specific to the event being trained for e.g. runnning, swimming or cycling Adequate recovery days and sessions should also be a key part of any training program. This allows physiological adaptations to take place and can minimise the risks of overtraining effects, including injuries that may prevent training and promote reversibility of traingin adaptations.

Types of Training Methods (Slide 8) Activity 9: Drills Practice Drills are specific exercises designed to improve the technique and efficiency of the skills an athlete performs. They allow emphasis to be placed on one aspect of the sport. During drills practice, the coach will provide cues and feedback to assist learning. Drills are predominantly used to practice technical skills, often in isolation from other aspects of the sport. Why might you use drills practice in training? What are some guidelines to ensure good drills practice? How might you measure success? PDHPE Enrichment Day 2017 Improving Performance Page 79
