Phases of Training

• Before selecting a method of training and
  creating a training programme it is important to
  consider what PHASE of TRAINING you are working
  in.
• There are THREE PHASES of training.

4
Phases of training

• Pre season- Preparation phase
• Season- Competition phase
• Off Season- Transition phase
• In each of these we have cycles of training
• Micro cycle- 2 week part of training
• Meso cycle- 6 week training programme
• Macro cycle- Preparation phase

5
Question Discuss why it is important to gather
information about your fitness. (4)
6
Describe why is it important to gather
information about your Fitness. (4)

• Identifying strengths and weaknesses
• Target sets your development needs
• Data forms basis of your Training programme.
  Allows you to set the initial intensity of your
  first two week micro-cycle, therefore making the
  work specific to your current level of ability
  and most likely to produce improvement /
  adaptation
• Gathering information
• General data gathered on whole performance within
  the game through Time Related Observation
  Schedule (TROS)
• Explain what this is, i.e. How you completed it
• This identified my role specific weakness as my
  CRE / SE as I was... (Describe the data). This
  aspect of fitness is important because...
• This data is a permanent record of my game based
  fitness and will allow me to draw comparisons
  with my abilities at the end of the preparation
  period of training

7

• The specific analysis of my performance was done
  through standardised tests outwith the game.
• Benefits of standardised testing are...
• I completed the...
• I completed these test by... (brief description)
• These tests allowed me to accurately set my
  training programme and targets for improvements.
  This maintained my motivation for the preparation
  phase of training.
• I used the specific analysis, i.e. my
  standardised tests to also monitor my progression
  as I undertook a 6 week training programme to
  improve my CRE / SE
• Although the standardised tests are outwith the
  activity, they were easy to replicate after each
  two week micro-cycle to monitor my progression
  and ensured valid and reliable data was obtained.
  

8
We have looked previously at how you monitored
your training programme. The question below is
often asked after or instead of a question which
asks you to describe how you monitored your
training.

• Question Having monitored your level of fitness
  during your training programme you will have
  made changes. Explain why these changes were
  necessary. Give examples to support your
  answer.

9
You have notes on monitoring your performance
from Lesson 4.Question Having monitored your
level of fitness during your training programme
you will have made changes. Explain why these
changes were necessary. Give examples to
support your answer.

• I monitored my programme by (describe how)
• Monitoring my programme was important for a
  number of reasons....
• It let me check to see if my training method was
  appropriate and that the work was specific to my
  current level.
• I was able to check my current level against my
  last set of results to track my progression
• This would tell me if my intensity levels were
  set correctly
• I compared my first set of test results at the
  end of my first two week micro-cycle with
• This highlighted that my level of __________ was
  improving. For this reason I applied the
  principle of Progressive Overload.
• Describe how you applied the principle of
  overload....what did you alter...use the
  following terms...Frequency, Duration and
  Intensity.

10

• My second set of interim test results when
  compared with my earlier results showed that
• Highlighting that the overload I had undertaken
  in my training programme had worked as the
  overload I had applied had ensured that my
  ............. Continued to improve and did not
  plateau.
• To keep track of both the work I completed and
  how I intrinsically felt I kept
  a......................
• I was able to get internal feedback on how I felt
  during my pre season training programme and pre
  season games. This was recorded in my
  .................................
• This enabled me to see over each two week
  micro-cycle how I felt and tracked my progression
  towards the next part of the training year- the
  competition phase.

11

• To ensure my overload was progressive and
  specific to my current level, I used the data
  from my interim testing at the end of each
  micro-cycle to guide the levels/degree of
  overload I applied at the start of each
  micro-cycle.
• Examples of how you added overload, detailing
  differences in your programme between each
  section
• Intensity- (repetitions, rest time, training zone
  differences, changes in intensity of runs)
• Frequency- (how many times a week did you train
  in wk 1 and 2 was this different to weeks 3 and
  4)
• Duration (your session lasted longer as you
  increased the time or distances you trained over)
• This ensured I was progressing smoothly as
  training was based on my current level of ability
  and attainment. Ensuring the principal of
  specificity was maintained.

12
Describing how you evaluated your Training
Programme

• Explain why its important to evaluate the
  effects of your training programme.
• Describe how and why you completed interim tests.
• Explain how you retested both within and outwith
  the activity at end of six weeks - retest shows
  that fitness levels improved.
• Explain the improvements retest data shows.
  Discuss both outwith and within the activity
  results.
• Briefly describe your role and responsibilities.
• Describe how your performance has altered what
  are you now more able to do that you couldnt
  previously relate to your role and
  responsibilities. Specific performance examples
  should be included.

13

• It is important to evaluate the effects that my
  training was having on my performance in football
  so that I could evaluate wither my method and
  content of training were set at the correct
  level.
• I did this by (standardised tests) I did it in
  this way because....(benefits of standardised
  testing)
• I found that after each two week micro-cycle I
  had some improvement by completing an intern
  test. This allowed / showed that my
  .............. had improved. Although it was a
  small improvement, I was motivated to keep
  working towards my target of........
• I could determine that my programme was set at
  the correct level and that I was not being over
  or under worked which could cause..........
• To continue progressing I used this data to guide
  my level of progressive overload and completed
  the interim test after each micro-cycle to
  continue monitoring my adaptation.

14

• On completing my six week training programme I
  carried out final testing. This involved testing
  both outwith and within the activity.
• To do this I.............
• With improved ........... I found that in the
  standardised tests I..............
• The time related observation schedule highlighted
  that with improved........ I was less fatigued
  and in turn my skill level remained more
  consistent throughout the match. I was now able
  to.......
• As I focused on how my programme affected my
  overall performance, I could also recognise new
  weaknesses and prioritise my future development
  needs. This showed that my new focus should be
  on my.....
