Designing a Fitness Program
When designing a fitness programme it is very important to remember
that the traing period and structure must be split up into three main
sections. Warm up, Conditioning and warm down.
Warming up is a must for all training programmes as it reduces the
risk of injury this can come in the form of star jumps jogging and
flexing. Warming up also increases muscle contraction and it also
stimulates the cardio activity (heart rate). The warm up may also
increase the mental preparation of the mind
Conditioning
Conditioning is the main bulk of the activity that is going to build
your muscle strength etc. when conditioning some coaches start with
the Technique â–º Group session â–º Full game, where the main focus is too
develop skills that are needed for an actual game. Most Coaches go
through the technique gradually breaking it down piece by piece doing
drills specific to the technique.
Cool down
=========
You need to cool down to risk the chance of getting cramp as it
releases lactic acid from the joints it also reduces the risk of
muscle damage. When warming down it is suggested that you jog
gradually decreasing intensity or stretching with the focus on the
major muscles.
Fartlek training
================
The Fartlek training scheme is the variation of speed in activities
that are predominantly aerobic.
Interval training
=================
The interval training scheme is the alternating method between work
and rest ie sprint - 10 seconds rest 1 minute. The interval-training
scheme can be affected by
-Intensity
-Work time
-Length of repetitions
-Length of recovery
-Overload principle
-Adjust Sessions
Circuit Training
================
The circuit triaging is predominantly suggested for strength sports
and activities such as rugby and weight training.
-Increase of stations
-Increase of repetitions
-Decrease time for circuit
- Decrease time for repetitions
If the Circuit Training is used you can apply the overload principle

Athletic trainers are mainly responsible for injury recovery and injury prevention. However, these responsibilities are physical concerns, but what about the mental concerns? There is a movement within the athletic training field to approach sport injuries with a more holistic perspective. Many athletic trainers have had inadequate education in sport psychology to institute any sort of psychological initiative in their rehabilitation programs. This paper will discuss some of the prospective ideas and various methods of rehabilitation tactics that could be used in the field, as well as how to perhaps properly train athletic trainers to administer these mental treatments, along with the physical treatments. These mental treatments will be related back to sport and exercise psychology concepts, such as strategies for setting realistic goals, methods for enc...

After feasting on the December holiday goodies, many people vow to start exercising in the new year. Exercise can reduce your risk of health conditions, helps control your weight, boost your energy level, and improves your mood. (See References 1) Instead of impulsively jumping into a workout routine, arm yourself with a feasible, enjoyable, proven and accessible exercise plan, which according to the American College of Sports Medicine, is most likely to trigger long-term adherence. (See References 2)
The second thing a coach has to do is assess the athlete. Then they need to find out what type of runner the athlete is. That way they can design a workout program that will prove to be the most effective with that person. Every athlete i...
I knew I needed to get back in school to make any advancements as well as earn more money at retirement, but wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go in; should I continue in the education field or athletic training. While walking around at the National Athletic Trainers’ Association annual convention in the exhibitors’ expo, I discovered the Indiana Wesleyan booth. The athletic training program seemed interesting and fit into my hectic schedule with it being only one year. Therefore, as soon as I got home, I immediately checked the Georgia Professional Standards Commission website to see if IWU was on the approved programs for a teaching certificate upgrade. Unfortunately, it was not on the approved list, however a proposal could be sent to the commission to review the program. It wasn’t economically feasible for me to spend the money to receive a master’s degree with no return on my investment if the program wasn’t added. For almost a year, I checked the Professional Standards Commission website in hopes the program’s approval. You cannot imagine the excitement I experienced when I checked the website and saw Indiana Wesleyan University’s athletic training degree listed. Everyone I ran into that day knew the program was added. I

Creative new training methods, developed by coaches, athletes and sport scientists, are aimed to help improve the quality and quantity of athletic training ( Kellmann, 2010, p.1). However, these methods have encountered a consistent set of barriers including overtraining ( Kellmann, 2010, p.1). Due to these barriers, the need for physical and mental recovery in athletics brought an increasing attention in practice and in research ( Kellmann, 2010, p.1).
In this paper I will be looking at an article called The Over Training Syndrome, which was written in 1994. I will be comparing the information in the article with the content from the week 6 Qualifying Sports Training lecture. This will be done by directly quoting the article, then the lecture and having a short discussion on the quoted point. The four areas of comparison will be; the definition of overtraining, the cause of overtraining, the effects of over training, and the recovery time from overtraining. The goal of this paper is to discuss the advancement in knowledge over the last twenty years in these four points on overtraining.
Fitness education could, in the immediate future, play a major role in the reduction of childhood obesity, as well as obesity throughout all age ranges, while simultaneously increasing the overall health of all individuals. In order for this to happen, fitness education must be incorporated into all levels of schooling, and be made more available to the adult population who were deprived of it during their school age, adolescent, and young adulthood stages of life. Fitness education is accompanied by a plethora of health benefits asides from obesity reduction which mustn't be overlooked. Join me as we explore these benefits and see how fitness education can be applied.
Perian Braun stated that, “Savvy athletes know that eating the right foods before a workout can give you the necessary fuel to make it through the last ten minutes on the treadmill or through that last set of squats.”(Braun) Braun is right in saying this. Not only athletes, but anyone who is exercising should know that before you workout, it is essential that you put some food into your body.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important today than past years. With the development and improvement of myriad medicines, along with food additives and genetically engineered food it is not surprising that people need to care more for their bodies. At the same time, it has become more common for these people to understand the many components that create a strong body, and the factors that lead to health and wellness. There has been much research that indicated the several benefits obtained in people 's daily life, by incorporating the three factors that define health and wellness. These three factors include physical fitness, nutritional health, and mental health.
When you 're designing your personal fitness program, consider your fitness goals. Think about your fitness likes and dislikes, and note your personal barriers to fitness. Then consider practical strategies for keeping your fitness program on track. Regular exercise can help you control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease, and strengthen your bones and muscles. But if you haven 't exercised for some time and you have health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor before starting a new fitness routine.
