Types of Training
OK, SO HOW CAN I GET FIT??
When we talk about prescribing any exercise program there are 4 measures that we refer to;
Frequency Intensity Type Time
* Frequency – This is concerned with how many times a week you will need to exercise
* Intensity – How hard or easy should each exercise session be? It can be low intensity (e.g. light jogging), or high intensity (e.g. sprint work).
* Type – Aerobic, anaerobic, strength training, core stability, flexibility, co-ordination. All of these are different components of physical fitness.
* Time – This Is simply how long should each exercise session last.
Example: For a 3-week season start up (pre-season) exercise prescription will be as follows;
* Frequency – 5x / week
* Intensity – High Intensity
* Type – A different component each day to ensure adequate rest and recovery of energy systems
* Time – Each session shall last approximately 1 hour
