The use of the Specificity, Progression and Overload principle, as well as the F.I.T.T. principle, is very important when training. To implement the Specificity principle during my days in the cardio room, I defined my goals before starting my workouts. It is important to define one’s goals so that one is sure to work towards and meet the given goals. My cardio goal was high intensity and my strength goal was toning. In order to work towards these goals, I constructed workouts that would help tone muscles and encourage high intensity cardio performance. To achieve high intensity cardio exercises, I aimed to and succeeded in to keeping my heart rate above 150. Focusing on the toning goal of my strength training exercises, I used activities …show more content…
By doing so, I increased the demands of the leg extension, abdominal machine, lat pulldown machine, shoulder press, and squats with workout bar exercises. On March 24, I did two sets of fifteen reps. The next day, March 28, I did three set of fifteen reps with the same weight. On March 30, I did two sets of fifteen reps with increased weight. Then, on April 3, I did three sets of fifteen reps with the same weight as the previous day (March 30). Concerning my cardio exercises, I implemented the Progression principle by running greater distances between the second and third day and the fourth and fifth day. By doing so, I placed greater demands on my body through use of the Progression principle. To make use of the Overload principle, I knew that I needed to increase the weight used in my exercises. In this way, I increased the weight of all my strength activities between the second and third day, as well as between the fourth and fifth day. Increasing the amount of weight used in these exercises promoted a toned body, due to the nature of the Overload principle. Also, when it came to my cardio activities, I made sure to increase my heart rate, specifically between the first and second day and third and fourth …show more content…
principle stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. Frequency refers to how often a person participates in a given activity. While the cardio schedule allowed us to workout every other school day, weekends interfered with this schedule. Overall, the frequency of this workout was based on a two-day cycle. Also, I increased the frequency by increasing the numbers of sets I completed for each workout every other week. By adding more sets, I participated in the activity during a greater length of time and therefore increased the frequency. Intensity refers to the weight or incline of a workout, how hard one has to work during a given exercise. To make use of the Intensity principle, I increased the weight of each strength training activity during every other day. In terms of the cardio training exercises, between the first and second day as well as the third and fourth day, I focused on increasing my heart rate. Between the second and third day and fourth and fifth day, I increased the intensity of the exercises by running a further distance than I had the day before. The first T in F.I.T.T. stands for Time. To increase the time of my strength training exercises, I increased the number of sets I completed between day one and two and day three and four. With a greater number of sets, a longer amount of time was spent on the given exercise. Also, during each day in the cardio room I learned how to better manage my time and use it to the best of my ability,
Ray Bradbury is known for using literary devices to present his protagonist with conflict. In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury uses a lot of imagery and characterization to do so. He uses imagery to make you see everything that’s happening to the character. He uses characterization to attach you to the characters while they’re going through the conflict. Ray Bradbury uses imagery and characterization to make us see the main characters conflict.
CrossFit is continually changed useful developments performed at high force. All CrossFit workouts depend on useful developments, and these developments mirror the best parts of tumbling, weightlifting, running, paddling and the sky is the limit from there. These are the center developments of life. They move the biggest burdens the longest separations, so they are perfect for expanding the measure of work done in the briefest time. Force is crucial for results and is quantifiable as work partitioned by time—or power. The more work you do in less time, or the higher the force yield, the more extreme the exertion. By utilizing an always shifted way to deal with preparing, utilitarian developments and power lead to sensational increases in wellness.
In Jeffrey Toobin’s novel, The Nine, he promises in his subtitle to delve “Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court.” And throughout his 340 page novel, Toobin accurately accomplishes this promise. To Toobin, the secret world of the Supreme Court focuses around the areas of the Court that are not often seen by the public eye, the information that often goes unnoticed or overlooked. To accomplish this goal of expanding the common man’s knowledge of the Supreme Court, Toobin not only narrates in detail the proceedings and cases of the court, but he also expands upon the complexities of the court as he describes the major themes, relationships, and intertwined connections that occur throughout the history of the Supreme Court. Furthermore, many of these major themes and relationships focus around main ideas and specific aspects of the court. In order to further illustrate the Supreme Court’s relationship and complexities, Jeffrey Toobin details the way the Court is shaped by the outside factors, the evolution of values, recurrent cases and constitutional requirements, and even misconceptions.
Tennis is one of the most strenuous sports since every group muscle is activated while playing this type of game. Due to this reason, it is important for strength and conditioning coaches to create a suitable resistance exercise program for their tennis players. In order to create a right resistance training program, every coach needs to perform a needs analysis for each player since everyone has different demands and body physique. While trying to figure it out what is the best for each individual questions such as should be asked: “Which muscles are working the most while playing tennis?” or “What are the weaknesses of the athlete?”. After that strength and conditioning coach should consider factors such as: selection of exercises,
Principle is a great way to remember what should be included in a fitness plan. F.I.T.T stands for __________ __________ __________ __________.

It was hypothesized that intermittent exercise bouts are more effective than moderate continuous training, because participants will be able to exercise long and therefore, will have a greater work output. The main findings from this lab can be categorized into three sections, heart rate during exercise bout refer to figure 1. Total work over exercise type, refer to figure 2. Time to fatigue over exercise type, refer to figure 3.
Growing up, I have been to multiple theatre productions. I have seen the musical Wicked and the Lion King on Broadway, A Christmas Carol at the Alley Theatre and several high school productions including Greese and Much Ado About Nothing. This production was much different than the ones I have been to in the past. This play was on a smaller scale and the cast was smaller. However, this production felt more intimate since the audience was physically closer to the actors.
The overload principle is the basis for all exercise training programs. For a muscle to increase in strength, the workload to which it is subjected during exercise must be increased beyond what it normally experiences. In other words, the muscle must be overloaded. Muscles adapt to increased workloads by becoming larger and stronger and by developing greater endurance.
As the famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.” During my 3 years of training, I learned much about what it takes to make an out of shape person to a healthy and fit person with just the right decisions and knowledge. For instance, I learned the importance of consistency, in which in order to be actively fit and healthy, there must be consistency. As a young fitness fanatic, I
Conclusions about the effectiveness of each training method by referring to its strength and/or limitations
Each athlete has an ideal of training that leads to maximum performance, if not carefully monitored it would lead into a state of consistent fatigue and underperformance (Raedeke, 1997). According to previous research, there are three major causes of overtraining; Lehman suggested that two of the biggest reasons that lead to overtraining are training monotony and the increase of training loads (Wiart, 2010). The third cause is inadequate recovery; Richardson (2008) suggested that looking at monitoring overtraining from a recovery approach may give a better understanding of stress/recovery imbalances in athletes.
I designed my client’s exercises around their goals. For instance, Olivia wanted to have stronger abs, so I focused a majority of her training days on core strength. Another factor in designing my workouts was communicating with my client’s other trainer, so I did not repeat the same types of exercises. Furthermore, the progression was increasing the difficulty for my clients in terms of their respective exercises, as well as increasing the weights on the second or third repetition of the workout. For example, I had Dana jog on the treadmill at 6.0 mph for 2 minutes on May 17, but she was jogging at 6.5 mph for 3 minutes by May 23.
The final training method performed for the day was a fartlek exercise. Each repetition was comprised of a 40 second period of full intensity with a 20 second period of slow jogging given as rest. This was repeated three times to complete a full set. It was noted in my training diary that this was a fault due to the work to rest ratio set. Despite my aerobic capacity being deemed ‘excellent’, it was not practical to allow such a higher work than rest. This is because of the training principle ‘progressive overload’ which implies that “the load needs to be slowly increased as we become accustomed to the existing level of resistance to bring about further improvements.” This suggests that training loads should become more intense over a period of time, not increased too abruptly or with too much intensity. As the body has not been given time to adapt to this high training intensity of 2:1, it could lead to the possibility of injury. Implications of injury occurring may lead to fitness levels either plateauing or decreasing. This is due to the training principle ‘reversibility’ which states that “fitness improvements will be lost as training
Heart rate is expected to increase during exercise. The reason for this is that the muscles in the body are demanding more blood and, essentially, the heart must work harder in order to provide for the muscles’ needs. Athletes, who are more adapted to exercising environments have a lower maximum heart rate than individuals who do not exercise as frequently. In a study done between two groups of individuals – one containing only athletes and the other containing individuals who had performed any type of exercise in the previous 6 months – results showed that athletes had a lower heart rate when they performed exercise than non-athletes (Martinelli 2005). The reason that athletes have a lower maximum heart rate is because the heart can pump blood to the rest of the body more efficiently – in larger amounts – than it would in a non-athlete.
