Six Week Program Summary

Our goals for the midfielder are to improve endurance and enhance lactic tolerance. We also aim to improve the athlete’s lateral quickness and anticipatory skills, and build the players body to maintain during the physical beating of the season. Most importantly our goal is to improve his performance, speed, agility, and quickness.

To test the athletes' strength, they will be required to perform 1 repetition max on the bench press, squat, dead lift, clean and vertical leap. To test the athletes speed they will be tested by performing a forty-yard dash. To test the athlete's agility, they will be required to perform out the t-test, hexagon test and pro agility, for time. To test endurance, the athlete will be required to perform a mile run for time. At the end of the third cycle of the off-season, the athlete will be tested again to perceive how much strength gain, increase speed, agility and endurance was achieved and it will determine the changes should be made for

In the study conducted by Edward H Robinson and Jeffrey R Stout, the use of one weekly interval session at vVO₂max led to a 3% improvement in vVO₂max and a 6% improvement in running(4).The interval duration was set to be 50% of the individual time that the athletes could sustain vVO₂max (the time that VO₂max can be sustained is called tlimvVO₂max or Tmax) which averaged around 3 minutes. The optimum length of VO₂max intervals is not clear although positive results have been found with a range of different interval lengths from 30 seconds up to 3-4

Content: overall development, focusing on ABCS (agility, balance, coordination, speed) to underpin the generic skills used in many sports (running, jumping and throwing).

Educating Mary on multiple components of her exercising plan and lifestyle choices will be beneficial for her and her family. Significant things that Mary should be educated on are her Diet and nutrition since she is struggling with osteoporosis; additionally, on what osteoporosis is and ways she could prevent it or lessen the severity. Assuming Mary has never gone through a graded exercise test (GXT), she should know why she needs one and what her results mean. Furthermore, Mary should be educated on her aerobic exercise plan, and why it would be beneficial for her to do. Considering her high blood pressure in her eye, it wouldn’t hurt to educate Mary on glaucoma; as well as, any other risk factors of aging that may pertain to her.

Over the course of the season, the researchers conducted individual sessions with the swimmers in which the value of performance goals and developed skills were discussed. The swimmers in the GST program learned how to complete exercises in the

Following the 1970 jogging craze, a period of time which developed the well routined quintessential jogging lifestyle that we see portrayed in media, many athletes were looking to challenge themselves further and harder. At the time biathlons were a common occurrence, the multidisciplinary requirements were attractive to athletes that wanted to round out their skillsets and fill in gaps that couldn’t be touched by just jogging or just swimming. It was simple, be ready to run, swim, and bring your own bike, just like that a whole new beast was born. Twenty six years later it achieved olympic status at the Australian summer olympics of 2000, and has been growing in popularity since. With prestigous races such as the Iron Man, around half a million registered athletes in the team USA triathlon organization, over 5000 international triathlon events in 2012, it is undeniable that the triathlon has made a lasting impression within the endurance sport

The differing results are likely because of differences in skill level among test subjects, methods of evaluation, and erratic sprint distances. The main strength qualities being explored in this data analysis are: absolute strength, relative strength, high-load speed strength, and low-load speed strength. Every sport requires several combinations of these strength qualities to be successful (13). Absolute strength is the measurement of how much force a subject can exert with no regard to body size (3). Relative strength is the measurement of strength to body size. High-load speed strength is the ability for the muscle to exert a high amount of force while contracting at a high speed. The tests to gauge high-load speed strength are typically short in nature, executed at maximal speeds, and produce high power outputs, and include exercises such as the power clean, snatch, and push jerk (1). Triple extension of the hips, knees, and ankles during these movements allows the athletes to express force against the ground rapidly. Low-load speed strength involves low velocity movements, and is a quality that “reflects the dynamic abilities necessary for sport. They are the maximal strength tests of choice for strength and conditioning professionals”

The information on this webpage has been compiled to provide Oz-Tag enthusiasts ideas and examples of quality Oz-Tag specific training. As stated before in order to be a successful sportsman, and for performance capacities to improve, sport related training must be implemented. Rep As well as sport related training, drills must ensure that sport related fitness is increased to improve the player.  Drills are to be executed at greater intensities than the average game to improve fitness, the Vo2 Max and the anaerobic threshold.  APP This is because the greater the VO2 max and anaerobic threshold, the player will have better endurance as fatigue will be delayed.  Also this training is specific to enhancing fitness to a high level, as sport related fitness is required to be significantly higher than health related fitness. Two drills that have been implemented analysed and tested are a ‘Tagging Drill’ and a drill called ‘Keeping Off’.

This research study is significant because it shows the many benefits which can be gained from repeated bouts of high-intensity interval training over a short period of time. Knowing this information may be useful to coaches, practitioners, and instructors when designing exercise programs for a variety of populations (Ziemann, 2011). One example from this article is how the exercise protocol used may be beneficial in combating the effects of detraining during the off season for certain athletes (Ziemann, 2011). High-intensity interval training may also be able to be used in a group fitness settings as well. In this study, twenty-one participants performed repeated bouts of high-intensity interval training using various types of cycle ergometers

During the Train to Train stage (females 11-15, males 12-16), young athletes need to build an aerobic base and consolidate their sport- specific skills. Towards the end of the stage, they need to focus on strength and the anaerobic alactic energy system. Increased training hours are needed at this stage to develop each athlete’s long-term potential.

The direction of our discussion followed the questions very closely. In fact, every member of the discussion was successfully able to provide some input and some of their own personal experience in response to every question. We began by discussing the importance of an individual’s aerobic work capacity within athletics, and then we related this importance to its relevance to firefighters. When I asked the group for personal examples, they were easily able to provide some examples of how aerobic work capacity has impacted their lives. For example, one member of the group played basketball for four years in high school. Her head coach constantly emphasized the importance of their cardiorespiratory fitness, while also educating his players about aerobic work capacity. Aerobic work capacity can dictate how well an athlete performs, particularly in a high-intensity sport such as basketball. We spent a fair amount of time going through everyone’s personal examples of aerobic work capacity in their lives, while also remembering to correlate this to the article’s discussion of the importance of aerobic work capacity for a firefighter’s performance. We concluded that the article’s findings and results were legitimate and fair. Everyone in the group agreed that aerobic work capacity is important for firefighters, but also for athletes and workers worldwide.

The focus of the preseason is to improve her strength and power and to familiarize Tonya with specific exercises that mimic the sport. She will be taught to perform lifts properly using a full range of motion. During the first weeks, the volume will be moderate while her body is adapting to the changes. Moreover, prior to each workout, she will do 5-10 minutes of warm -up to prepare the muscles, joints, and tendons for the exercise. At the end of the workout, she
