Training Principles

Basic Training Principles

  • Provide tools to enable students to lead an active lifestyle
  • FITT guidelines are the hows of physical activity

Activity Pyramid

  • Base is everyday activity
  • Next tier: aerobic activity designated for 3- times per week
  • Third from bottom: activities for strength,endurance, flexibility, low intensity leisure
  • Top: sedentary pursuits

How Much is Enough?

Progression

  • A gradual increase in frequency, intensity, time or a combination of the above
  • Progression should be slow enough to avoid injury, but not so slow that students get bored with the repetition

Specificity

  • To bring about specific fitness gains, explicit activities must be targeted
  • Consider the student‟s individual goals to identify the explicit activities
  • Additional “T” in FITT can be targeted for “Type” that is specific to goals

Training Threshold

  • For fitness, you have to reach the threshold amount of exercise to make some gains in fitness
  • Doing a lot more than the optimal level does not guarantee extra health.

Training Differences

  • Threshold of training: minimum level of fitness required for health benefits - Low end of the training intensity zone
  • Health-related fitness: middle to upper end of the training intensity zone; optimal workout intensity
  • Performance fitness: generally at the upper end of the intensity zone; for athletic performance

Age considerations for P.A.

  • Continuous vs. intermittent exercise
  • Elementary students are not mini-adults
    • Intermittent activity is typical: Why?
  • Middle school students may be experiencing body proportion changes
  • High school students will react more like adults to training principles

Ways to increase activity time

  • Decrease emphasis on minimum intensity
  • Decrease emphasis on time limits
  • Emphasize daily activity
  • Explore recreational activities that are age & developmentally appropriate
  • Be a role model
  • Give a reason to the importance of daily activity and how it relates to them

In-class Work

  • As a physical educator in a school, describe what you would do to take physical education „beyond the school walls‟ to promote life-time activity skills.
