Types of Training
Altitude training
This is training which takes place at least 2000 metres above seas level
...
There are three phases:
Acclimatisation – 3-5 days of light training when altitude is reached
Primary training – Where training volume is gradually
increased in order to reach a volume and intensity
that was reached at sea level
...
Pros
Increased RBC
Increased haemoglobin
Increased mitochondria
Increased oxidative enzymes
Increased capillarisation
Increased capacity to carry O2
Cons
Expensive
Time away from family
Altitude sickness
Dizziness
Benefits are short lived
Absolute intensity is lower than relative intensity
Lactate Sampling
This is a method of measuring the lactate concentration in the
blood
...
For example if the concentration is above 4
mmols this means that you have reached your obla and are now
producing energy anaerobically
...
Respiratory Exchange Ratio
This is another method set to measure exercise intensity
...
Calculated by:
By knowing this we are then able to determine whether the individual is working aerobically
or anaerobically and also the primary energy source (fat or carbohydrate)
...
PNF Stretching
This is where stretching uses an isometric contraction (no movement) in order to improve
flexibility
...
The isometric contraction
(whilst in the stretched position) activates the Golgi tendon organs which cause the muscle
to relax and so therefore the stretch can be increased
...
It uses the stretch reflex in order to enhance the power of the contraction
...
A
message is then send to the CNS via the sensory neurone
