Physiology
0:00:06.200,0:00:10.450
Sports Physiology is how the human body adapts
to exercise. Let’s have a look at the energy
0:00:10.450,0:00:14.119
systems involved. For the body to perform
in sport there are a number of energy systems
0:00:14.119,0:00:19.910
it has to rely upon. The duration and intensity
of the activity really determines if one or
0:00:19.910,0:00:22.070
more energy systems that are used.
0:00:22.070,0:00:27.340
An example of an event that uses the alactic
anaerobic system is a 100metre sprint. It
0:00:27.340,0:00:33.140
produces explosive, short duration, high intensity
movements and predominantly uses energy that
0:00:33.140,0:00:34.140
is already in the muscles.
0:00:34.140,0:00:41.140
An example of an event that uses the lactic
anaerobic system is a 400metre run. It produces
0:00:41.780,0:00:47.180
sustained, high intensity movement and uses
more energy than the alactic system - your
0:00:47.180,0:00:51.370
body begins to react after a minute or two
of doing the activity and in turn you begin
0:00:51.370,0:00:54.130
to feel the pain in your muscles.
0:00:54.130,0:00:59.040
An example of an event that uses the aerobic
system is a distance running event. Energy
0:00:59.040,0:01:05.509
demands are lower but need to be sustained
for longer. All sports go across all three
0:01:05.509,0:01:10.450
energy systems. In team sports, the contribution
of each energy system is dependent on the
0:01:10.450,0:01:15.810
duration, skill and position of the player.
Components of fitness are Speed, Strength,
0:01:15.810,0:01:22.810
Power, Endurance, Agility and Flexibility.
Let’s see how our coach develops these components.
0:01:27.270,0:01:31.350
Speed is your ability to move quickly from
point A to point B, you can do this through
0:01:31.350,0:01:38.350
a series of technical running drills or simply
by running fast.
0:01:38.920,0:01:42.560
Strength is the ability of your muscles to
apply force, it can be developed easily using
0:01:42.560,0:01:47.310
body weight exercises or using the external
resistance of dumbbells, barbells or weighted
0:01:47.310,0:01:50.039
vests.
0:01:50.039,0:01:56.929
Power is the ability of your muscles to generate
force as quickly as possible. You can do this
0:01:56.929,0:01:59.349
my jumping, hopping, skipping and throwing.
0:01:59.349,0:02:06.349
Endurance is your ability to perform an activity
for a prolonged period of time with minimal
0:02:07.700,0:02:14.700
fatigue. You can develop it using various
activities such as swimming, running and cycling.
0:02:17.000,0:02:20.849
Agility is your ability to change direction
quickly; it can be developed through general
0:02:20.849,0:02:27.799
or highly specific change of direction drills.
0:02:27.799,0:02:31.540
Flexibility is the range of motion around
a joint or series of joints. You can incorporate
0:02:31.540,0:02:35.480
stretching at the end of your training session
or in a specific stretch session at a later
0:02:35.480,0:02:40.260
time.
0:02:40.260,0:02:46.290
Principles of training are Specificity, Overload,
Progression, Reversibility, Recovery, Variety
0:02:46.290,0:02:51.510
and Individualisation. When a coach is planning,
it’s important they take into account these
0:02:51.510,0:02:52.849
principles of training.
0:02:52.849,0:02:57.200
An example of PROGRESSION is when a coach
gradually increases the training and competition
0:02:57.200,0:03:02.140
loads so that the athlete will improve their
performance. Within this program there may
0:03:02.140,0:03:06.689
be a period of OVERLOAD when a coach chooses
to increase volume and intensity for a short
0:03:06.689,0:03:12.439
time. It’s important for coaches to ensure
adequate recovery to prevent over training,
0:03:12.439,0:03:18.140
fatigue, injury and illness. The activities
that coaches use in their training sessions
0:03:18.140,0:03:22.760
need to be specific to the requirements of
the sport; take into account the individual
0:03:22.760,0:03:29.760
needs of the athlete AND include variety to
keep things interesting and challenging. Finally,
0:03:30.159,0:03:34.930
at the end of the season you need to remember
the principle of reversibility, if you don’t
0:03:34.930,0:03:39.930
use it you lose it. Your athletes should remain
active over the off-season to maintain their
0:03:39.930,0:03:45.790
level of fitness. In this program we’ve
looked at energy systems, Components of fitness
0:03:45.790,0:03:51.209
and principles of training. Coaches should
take into account all of these factors when
0:03:51.209,0:03:54.989
planning to get the best results for their
athletes.
0:03:54.989,0:04:00.730
Ask yourself these questions: What energy
systems does your sport use? Which components
0:04:00.730,0:04:06.099
of fitness are most important in your sport
and how can you develop them? How will your
0:04:06.099,0:04:08.530
training plan incorporate the principles of
training?
