Sports training
Physical Education
Useful for: OSSTET, OSSC RHT — Regular High School Teacher, OSSC Physical Education Instructor, OSSSC Govt Physical Education Teacher (PET), SSB PET, SSB School Teachers
Overview
Sports training improves performance through systematic, progressive and specific exercise planned in cycles.
Key points
- Overload: training must exceed normal demands to improve.
- Progression: increase load gradually.
- Specificity: training should match the sport’s demands.
- Reversibility: gains are lost when training stops.
- Fartlek ("speed play") was developed by Gösta Holmér.
- Periodisation divides training into macro-, meso- and micro-cycles.
Explanation
- Interval training alternates work and rest.
- Circuit training uses stations for all-round fitness.
- Recovery is part of training, not a break from it.
- Individual differences require individual plans.
- Tapering reduces load before competition.
Step by step
- Identify the concept, method or fact asked.
- Recall the definition, thinker, year or rule.
- Apply it and eliminate extreme or mismatched options.
Examples
- A sprinter does short fast runs with rest → interval training.
- A runner varies pace across terrain → fartlek.
- Fitness drops after a month off → reversibility.
Traps and advanced points
- Trap: Increasing load too fast.
- Trap: Ignoring recovery.
- Trap: Same plan for all athletes.
Quick revision
- Six principles.
- Fartlek (Holmér).
- Macro, meso, micro cycles.
