Higher PE Preparation of the Body Lesson 7 – Principles of Training Lesson 7 – Principles of Training Today we will • Research Project Feedback • Phases of the season • Develop understanding of Principles of Training • Consider how we use Principles of Training to create training programme Research Homework V = O2 = Max = Volume Oxygen Maximum Vo2 Max Heart and Lungs Requires VO2 Max Like a car your body requires fuel to work. In the case of your body this fuel is oxygen. The harder your work the more oxygen your body requires. VO2 max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that your body can use during intense or maximal exercise. VO2 max is measured as "milliliters of oxygen used in one minute per kilogram of body weight." VO2 max is generally considered the best indicator of an athlete's aerobic endurance or level of cardio respiratory endurance. Theoretically, the larger your VO2 max the more oxygen you can use during high level exercise, therefore the more fuel you can produce. VO2 max, or maximal oxygen uptake, is one factor that can determine an athlete's capacity to perform sustained aerobic exercise and is linked to cardio respiratory endurance Calculating VO2 max The following website can be used to help you calculate VO2 max by inputting your performance in the multi stage fitness test http://www.brianmac.co.uk/beep.htm Female 13-19 Very Poor <25 Male 13-19 <35 Age Poor Fair Good Excellent Superior 25 - 30 31 - 34 35 - 38 39 - 41 >41 35 - 37 38 - 44 45 - 50 51 - 55 >55 Research Homework Cardio Training Zone Cardio Training Zone Your heart is a muscle like any other muscle in the body. Your heart rate is an indicator of how strong your heart is Those who are fitter have a stronger heart which is able to pump more blood with each beat Think of it like your arm muscles, stronger arms lift heavier weight. Stronger heart pumps more blood Therefore a person who is fit tends to have a lower heart rate Like any muscle you can increase the strength of your heart by exercising. The intensity at which you work impacts on the changes that occur in your hear Cardio Training Zone The intensity at which you work impacts on the changes that occur in your hear Like any exercise the work you carry out alters how the muscle develops Working at between 60%-80% of maximum heart rate will strengthen heart and improve aerobic capacity To calculate HR for Training Zone = 220 – age = max HR (Max HR ÷ 100) x HR% = Target HR for training zone Phases of Training Copy and answer the below in your jotter Training can take place at 3 times of the training year these are… 1. 2. 3. Preparation period Competition period Transition period – – – Pre season During the season Off season Phases of Training Training can take place at 3 times of the training year these are… 1. 2. 3. Preparation period Competition period Transition period – Pre season – During the season – Off season Phases of Training – Preparation Phase Partner task - instructions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. With your shoulder partner number yourself 1-2 You will each be required to read over a paragraph on the Preparation period After reading the paragraph return to your partner and explain what you have read. You can both make notes at this point You will work alternatively and have 60s to read the paragraph, you will each go twice On completion you will have to write your own explanation of the Preparation period Phases of Training – Competition Phase Summarise in your jotter During the competition period you maintain your physical fitness. Your aim is to ensure that you benefit from your pre-season training during the competitive phase of the season. Within the competitive period there may be particular competitions / fixtures of special importance. You will want to ‘peak’ for these competitions. In peaking for a special performance you fine tune your training with a special event or competition in mind. Part of your training will involved a period of ‘tapering down’ your training before hand to avoid fatigue. i.e. Lighter training on a Thursday/Friday if event is a Saturday.
