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.
