CSCS chapter 15 (Anaerobic exercise prescription)

• Specificity
• Overload
• Progression

lack of attention to any of these outcomes can lead to less than favorable outcomes or injury

method whereby an athlete is trained in a specific manner to produce a specific adaptation or training outcome

"Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands"

the type of demand placed on the body dictates the type of adaptation that will occur.

movements that mimic movement patterns and speeds used during actual event increase the likelihood that muscles involved in the sport will be recruited

assigning a workout or training regime of greater intensity than the athlete is accustomed to.

involves increases frequency, intensity, and/or volume of exercise among other details of training

for gains to continue to occur, the intensity of the training program must become progressively greater

Promotes long term training benefits

• 1 needs analysis
• 2 exercise selection
• 3 training frequency
• 4 exercise order
• 5 training load or repetitions
• 6 volume
• 7 rest periods

• Needs Analysis
• A two stage process that includes an evaluation of the requirements and characteristics of the sport and an assessment of the athlete

• Determine unique characteristics of the sport
• - movement patterns (muscles involved)
• - Physiological Analysis (Power?, energy system used)
• - Injury Analysis  (Pre-hab)

• Evaluate training status
• Physical testing and evaluation
• Primary Goal Evaluation

all forms of training should gradually progress in an organized manner from generalized to sport specific
