Document Summary

Principles of overload: exposure to the same stimulus produces less strain, aim of the coach: provide stimuli that exceeds threshold, but not so excessive. Gradual progression: be safe and logical progression. If external stimuli not continuously increase, adaptation will plateau: adaptation to new stressor, training adaptation last for as long as training, 2 sessions are needed per week to maintain adaptation. Specificity: maximum benefits of training stimulus can only be obtained when it replicates the movements and energy of the sport, specific, adaptations. Individual: hereditary, experience, psychological factors, gender, abilities. Incorporate change in training programs: same drills= bored. Diminishing returns: as athletes become fitter, amount of improvement is less, as fitness increase, more training required to make gains. Warm up and cool down: 5-10 general, 10-15 min more specific, volume and intensity, time period, cool down involves low intensity exercise.
