Energy balance The amount of energy you take in as food and drink is the same as the amount of energy you expend. 4 components of energy output Resting metabolic rate (RMR) / Dietary thermogenesis (DT) / Physical activity (PA) / Adaptive thermogenesis (AT) Basal metabolism Affected by Age / Gender / Climate / Physical activity Components of a balanced diet Macronutrients Carbohydrates Fats Protein Micronutrients Vitamins Minerals Hydration Fluid intake requirements Dehydration Hyperhydration Hyponatremia Carbohydrates, protein and fat are macronutrients as they are required in relatively large amounts on a daily basis. Body s most readily source of energy which has two types simple and complex. One gram of carbohydrate provides approx. 4kcal of energy. An essential nutrient and the body s most concentrated source of energy. One gram of fat provides approx. 9kcal of energy. Two types saturated and unsaturated Maintain health and physical performance, play a role in the structure and function of cells, enzymes, hormones and antibodies. Approx 4kcal per gram. Nutrients required in smaller amounts such as vitamins and minerals Vital non-calorific nutrients required in very small amounts, performing specific metabolic functions and prevent particular deficiencies : A / B / C / D Nutrients essential to life, macrominerals such as calcium/ironand trace elements such as copper and selenimu Water the main transport mechanism in your bodycarrying nutrients, waste products and internal secretions Dependent upon: climate / levels of exercise / time of year A reduction in the normal water content of your body, when you lose more fluid than you take in An increase in the normal water content of your body, when you take in more fluid than you lose A state of low sodium levels in the body fluids
Nutritional strategies for individuals taking part in training programmes Adapting diet Using ergogenic aids Using sports drinks Optimal body weight To gain or lose weight Any aid that enhances physical performance: Energy gels and bars / Protein drinks / Carbohydrate loading Provide carbohydrates to replace energy, water to replace fluid and electrolytes to replace minerals lost in sweat: Isotonic / Hypertonic / Hypotonic An ideal weight for a body composition that enables an athlete to perform successfully in a specific sport or activity Exercise Requirements Components of Fitness Physical Fitness Health-related aspects of fitness Skill related fitness Aerobic Endurance The ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory Balance systems to work efficiently and supply the muscles with nutrients and oxygen Muscular Endurance Specific muscle or muscle group makes repeated Agility contractions over a significant period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance load Flexibility Range of motion in all joints of the body and the Coordination ability to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of movement Speed Ability to move over a distance in the quickest Power possible time Muscular Strength Ability of a specific muscle or muscle group to exert a force in a single maximal contraction. Reaction time Fitness that allows the individual to perform an activity, task (motor fitness) Maintain stability or equilibrium while performing, both static and dynamic Ability of an athlete to quickly and precisely move or change direction while maintaining control of the movement Ability to control movement of two or more body parts, smoothly and efficiently, to perform a task. Ability to produce a maximal force in the shortest possible period of time, or to generate and use muscular strength quickly. The time taken for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and initiate their response. Body Composition The amount of body fat and fat-free lean body tissue an athlete has.
Training Methods for physical fitness-related components Continuous training Steady-state or long, slow distance training, moderate intensity over a long distance and time Fartlek training Interval training Circuit training Designed to improve aerobic endurance, based on running outdoors, varies the intensity of work according to requirements. (Vary terrain sand/hills/woodland, indoors vary speed, resistance, gradient) Vary the intensity and length of the work periods, work period followed by rest period is one interval A number of different exercises (stations) organised around a room, each station contains a different activity to complete in a set time Muscular strength training methods Principles Methods Equipment Repetitions and sets Rest periods between sets Low reps and high loads Order of exercises to prevent or maximise muscle fatigue Pyramid sets upward, then downward sequence in weight, reps and sets to maximise strength and endurance goals Free weights / Fixed-resistance machines Muscular endurance training methods Principles Methods Equipment Repetitions and sets Rest periods between sets High repetitions and low loads Order of exercises to prevent muscle fatigue Circuit / Fixed resistance machines/free weight Free weights / Fixed-resistance machines /resistance bands/tubing
Core stability training methods Principles Exercising the deep muscles of the torso all at the same time, exercises stabilise the spine and provide a solid foundation for movement in the arms and legs. Methods Yoga an ancient form of exercise focusing on strength and flexibility combined with breathing techniques to enhance physical and mental wellbeing Pilates Similar to yoga, focus on body s core tom improve strength, general fitness and well-being Gym-based exercises Plank, bridge,v-sit, resistance machines, resistance bands, stability ball, kettle bells Flexibility training methods Static The range of movement that a Dynamic The range of movement that a muscle or joint muscle or joint can achieve can achieve when in motion Active Done individually Passive Assisted stretching help of a person/wall PNF Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation Isometric An advanced form of stretching stretching a muscle group to the upper limit of its range, isometrically contract the muscle against a partner, relax as your partner stretches it to its new upper limit An exercise in which an engaged muscle group produces no movement of the joint at which the muscles are attached Speed training methods Principles Training thresholds / Percentage of maximum heart rate / Recovery between sets Methods Hollow sprints Sprinting for a set distance, slowing down, accelerating again for another set distance Acceleration sprints Aerobic training method, running speed is gradually increased from an initial jog to striding then sprinting at maximum speed Interval training Improve speed and anaerobic endurance (speed endurance), work at a high intensity for a shorter time Resistance drills Place an additional resistance against an accelerating athlete over short distances
Equipment Resistance bands/tubes/parachutes/bungee rope/resistance tyres Training methods for skill-related fitness components Balance Static balance and dynamic balance Agility SAQ Speed, agility and quickness Coordination Sport specific activities involving two or more body parts at the same time e.g. repeated forehand shot in tennis Power Reaction time Plyometric training to improve explosive power taking the muscle through an eccentric muscle action followed by a powerful concentric muscle action Stop watch / Whistle / Visual stimuli / Auditory stimulus/ Reaction ball
Principles of Training Specificity Training programme based around the needs Frequency Number of training sessions per week of the sport or activity and your individual needs Progression Increasing the levels of overload Intensity How hard you are working during training Overload Reversibility Rest and recovery Variation Stretching the body systems beyond their normal functional level (through frequency, intensity, duration) The loss of training benefits and adaptations when you stop training Adequate time to recover from training or competition Regular changes in training intensity, duration or volume often yield increased gains in performance Time Type Adaptation Individual needs the length of each training session or exercise Mode of training you complete, linked to your individual needs The way the body programmes the muscles to remember movements or skills Personal fitness needs based on age, motivation, fitness level and gender, and aims of a specific sport Fitness training programmes: What am I trying to improve? How am I going to improve it? Targets: Goals should be SMARTER targets Specific They say exactly what you mean Measurable You can prove you have reached them
Achievable They are actions you can achieve Realistic You will be able to achieve them but they will still challenge you Timed They have deadlines Exciting Ensure you look forward to and never get bored with your training programme Recordable Keep accurate records of everything you do in a training diary Periodisation A training programme based on a structured cycle Macrocycles 1 to 4 year cycle Mesocycles Macrocycle divided into mesocycles lasting 4-24 weeks Microcycles Mesocycle divided into microcycles lasting 1 week
