Introduction: Futsal is a thriving European sport that has been adopted by almost 300,000 Australians. Athletes are always attempting to improve their performance due to the natural attribute of competiveness. Fitness components can be used to enhance certain parts of performance which can then be exposed to appropriate training principles to improve the selected fitness component. Two dominant fitness components will be identified which will then be the basis for a 6 week Macro training program. Using the various training principles, the macro training program will then be designed to suit the desired fitness component to be refined. Fitness Components: Within sport, there are 10 fitness components that enable us to perform. They fall under two headings; Health-related components and Skill-related components. The health related components of physical fitness are cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. The skill-related components of physical fitness are power/speed which are closely related, agility, coordination, balance, and reaction time. Training Principles: Specificity “Specificity refers to the type of changes the body makes in response to sports training. Very simply, what you do is what you get.” (Sports training Advisor, 2009) FITT (frequency, intensity, time and type) The FITT program is an acronym that stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. Frequency Frequency is the rate at which
The relationship between the principles of training and physiological adaptations has a significant impact on performance. Many factors need to be addressed in a training program to make it a successful one for a particular athlete and thus improve their performance.
ii) Describe why each of these fitness components are needed to perform in this sport successfully.
Evaluation of the Components of Fitness and an Analysis to Their Relevance of Touch Football
The five components are essential to our health because it keeps our health in balanced and make us healthier, happier and live longer. One of an example of health component is cardiovascular endurance and why it is important. It is important because the more we fit, the more our cardiovascular system becomes healthier lungs and a more youthful heart. Another example of health component is the muscular strength it’s significant because the highest amount of the power muscle can generate in a single effort. Another two examples are flexibility and healthy body composition. They are important because the flexibility has an ability to bend and move joints through a range of motion, and healthy body composition creates a high ratio of lean tissue to fat tissue in
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.
Power lifts uses the majority of large muscle groups to build muscle for strength and speed. The triple extension of a power clean is similar to many activities within soccer, such as running, jumping, and diving to block shots. The snatch and clean exercises are a beneficial to aid in mobility, increase powerful, build lean muscle mass, and even tax the cardiovascular system. Back squats build lower body strength, which helps improve speed. The soccer goalie must be able to have a powerful kick to move the ball to the other side of the field. The deadlift is an exercise for core strength and increase overall power. Bench pressing increases upper body strength, something that soccer goalies need in order to be able to throw the ball with their hands. The power clean is beneficial in athletics as it teaches an athlete’s muscles to react explosively, develops neuromuscular coordination, and improves reaction time. The stronger athletes were able to apply greater amounts of force to the ground, allowing them to sprint at greater velocities.
Continuous training helps in AFL to build up aerobic capacity, this means that you will be able to run further, quicker and with less fatigue, this helps players out run their opponents and to get the upper hand on
This term in PE we have been focusing on energy systems and exercise physiology principles in Touch Football. In touch there are three positions: middle, link and wing. My fitness results, when compared to an Australian Touch Association player (ATA player), are only satisfactory. My speed and cardiovascular endurance were within range of ATA players but my agility was not, therefore, I have chosen wing as my best-suited position as the key fitness components for this position are speed, agility, power and cardiovascular endurance. In order for me to improve in my least acquired skill, agility, I must incorporate agility based skill exercises into my Dingo Flats training program. The purpose of this presentation is to present and evaluate the
All athletes regardless of age, gender, genetics or sport can benefit from effective training. It is important that the selected training improves the body’s ability to perform tasks associated with the chosen
Term 3 commenced with each boy studying HPE in year 11, participating in the sport Touch Football. In this subject the cohort has been analysing the relationships between different energy systems and components of fitness that need to be acquired to successfully participate in the physical activity. Components of fitness are described as basic qualities that demonstrate the ability to complete daily tasks with energy, reduced health risks, and participate in a variety of physical activities (1). This presentation will give a thorough reflection on Touch football and what energy systems are of most importance to the sport. I will also be reflecting on the components of fitness that I personally need to work on which is observed from primary data collected in the HPE classes. Also methods of improvement toward specific components of fitness.
The fourth component of fitness involves coordination and balance, which is highly important for bone structure and being aware of the positions of joints.
For this term’s HPE unit, we have learnt about core physiological principles as well as fitness and training concepts, and how this would relate to touch football. This knowledge was then utilised to design, evaluate and modify an individual one week training program (microcycle) to enhance performance in touch football. The task of this assessment is to analyse the training program upon completion, by evaluating its strengths and weaknesses and finally modifying this ‘microcycle’ to rectify any weaknesses that may have be identified.
A Macrocycle plan was made for a Private High School flag football team; will focus on the athletes’ individual’s skills such as; strength, agility, speed and power. The importance on focusing on this these specify skills it that flag football is like American football. As an athlete that have played this sport before understands that American football is aggressive, tough, may cause extreme fugitive if not adapted it. Although that is true in flag football players don’t tackle and there fewer players in the field. Both are still harsh in our bodies that requires a lot energy. Which is important, understand how to train our athletes all year around. In our program, which follows a full year of predetermined exercises. Within the program, there’s an off-season, pre-season, in-season and post-season. For the program to be successful all athletes must be tested and prescribed an exercise regime. This Macrocycle program is an overview of the entire team. Individuals will require concrete routines that are categorical to their playing position.
Q1: Principle of specificity states that training must go from highly general training to highly specific training. Therefore, an athlete should use this principle to produce best results in the sport he or she is engaging in. An example; a runner’s body is easily identified by increased blood vessels for increased oxygen supply to the various muscles involved in running. He or she may also pose a larger heartbeat as compared to other athletes such as throwers (Sports training adviser, 2014). Consequently, this helps the runner manage to go rounds without easily tiring.
Physical and mental strength plays a major role in a football player’s life. Football is a twelve month process, which consists of off- season (six months), in -season (five months), and the Transition (one month). During off-season the football player’s main goal is gaining strength, size, and much power, in-season they continue to practice and work on maintaining the gains in strength during the off-season, and the transition is when they rest and recuperate their body from the physical exercise. Football players are constantly bumped and knocked down during practices
