Principles of Training

Principles of TrainingDan Jackson2018-10-04T22:38:34+10:00

The principles of training help to guide the trainer in selecting the correct training type and method in creating training sessions that will improve performance. They help the trainer choose the workload for the athlete to ensure they are not levelling out or failing to improve. The trainer uses them in order to ensure their training matches competition and is specific to the adaptations needed.

The training principles help to ensure the athlete does not lose physiological adaptations due to inactivity and helps to ensure the athlete is provided with a wide variety of activities that are still relevant to their competition needs.

These principles help guide the trainer in selecting the correct training intensity so that the athlete is training in the right training zone, whether this be the aerobic or anaerobic zone. And finally, the principles of training ensure the trainer includes a warm up and cool down to help prevent injury and speed the recovery process.

Students learn about:

  • Principles of training
    • progressive overload
    • specificity
    • reversibility
    • variety
    • training thresholds
    • warm up and cool down

Students learn to:

  • Analyse how the principles of training can be applied to both aerobic and resistance training

Please also note that these principles are mentioned in the students learn to for physiological adaptations.

  • examine the relationship between the principles of training, physiological adaptations and improved performance

This learn to is one of the more complex in HSC PDHPE and requires a great ability to trace cause and effect from training, to adaptation to competition.

How can the principles of training improve performance?

The principles of training can help you with understanding different training types and effects. It will give you an idea of how a training program should look like, which is more efficient and with less chance on injuries. The importance of a good training program cannot be underestimated.

What training principles improves development with an increase of load?

The overload principle is a deceptively simple concept. To make fitness gains you have to overload the body progressively. Lift heavier weights, run longer, workout more days a week, and so on in order to provide enough stress that the body will adapt and get stronger, faster, and more powerful.

How the principles of training can be applied to improve aerobic performance?

In aerobic training, the training principle – progressive overload – can be achieved by changing the frequency of training (3 times a week to 4 times a week), the intensity of training (run incline, outside, faster speed), or the length of training (distance or time).

What are the 4 principle of training?

In order to get the maximum out of your training you need to apply the four key principles of training – specificity, progression, overload and individualisation – to what you do.
