Program Outline - What training method(s) will you incorporate into your program and why? - Discuss how you will accomplish progressive overload and specificity Within my training program I am going to be looking to improve on the muscular power in my legs. I have chosen to focus on my legs specifically because it will increase my ability in my main sport; soccer. It will help me to excel with my running, kicking and overall give me a more explosive nature on the soccer pitch. And to achieve this success I have chosen three different types of training methods to work on. The training methods being plyometric training, circuit training and resistance training. Plyometric training is based around having muscles produce maximum force in as short amount of time as possible. This training method will be crucial in helping me improve in soccer. Such as helping with endurance and power. It can help me in power because the strength of my leg muscles would be improved by an elevated rate of power development, thus giving a rise in muscular power and force and even could help me gain a gr...
The use of the six principles of training by a 100m sprinter would greatly improve the athlete’s performance. This is because the progressive overload, specificity, reversibility, variety, training thresholds and warm up/cool down principles all greatly affect the performance of any athlete. The principles of training can be employed in order to improve all aspects of fitness, from flexibility to strength and aerobic endurance.
Imagining myself as a high school soccer coach, I would like to optimize my team’s kicking performance. Some players consistently kick the ball successfully with the correct use of power and accuracy. To ensure that all players are able to achieve the same optimal kicking habits, this paper will document (1) the effective and ineffective habits of kicking, (2) describe biomechanical based kicking assessments, (3) describe how these assessments will measure the effective aspects of kicking and expected findings, and (4) provide suggestions on how I may modify programming based on the insights gained from these assessments.
I have many goals as an Athletic Training Student, and continuing my education is the biggest goal in order to be successful in my career and future goals. Eventually, I will earn a doctorate and go on to work at a professional level with a major league soccer team. I also aim to increase the knowledge and awareness of mental health within the field of athletic training.
Choosing a vocation can be a daunting task. With the world ever-evolving, one may come across a new attractive career every year. In order to ensure optimal job satisfaction, it is vital to educate oneself about every alluring prospect prior to committing. Simple factors like the time commitment and salary can mean the difference between a content existence and a miserable one.

Baseball players have steadily shown evidence of increased strength and power equating to improved performance on the field. The need to maintain flexibility and agility is critical to a player’s skill set. Implementing a training program for baseball players that improves each of these physical components is the objective.
Crossfit and Powerlifting are two intense forms of exercise practiced by those looking to stay in shape, but strongly differ from one another in many ways. Both styles of exercise are very strenuous and require dedication and commitment. The primary objective while performing either of these two forms of exercise is to improve one’s physical endurance over an undefined period of time. Although both sides share a common interest, their goals, equipment use, as well as diet and training regimens are portrayed very differently.
Exercise Science is a field of work that is valued by many. There are different paths for different kind of people whether they are interested in personal training, physical therapy, or even some kind of sports coach. The route I would like to take would be Exercise Science for Athletic Training. I want to be an Athletic Trainer because growing up, I loved playing and watching sports. I played baseball for about 2 years, ran track for 3, and played basketball my entire life. After my high school career, I knew that I could not stay involved in sports because all of the injuries I have experienced so I decided I wanted a job that is behind the scenes but still rooted in athletics.

The core is a vital component in proper function of the kinetic chain. Athletic performance is most often produced by the kinetic chain to reach a desired athletic task (Kibler, B., Press, J., & Sciasca, A, 2006). The core is important for providing local strength and balance. Since the core is central to almost all the kinetic chain controlling balance and range of motion will maximize all kinetic chains of upper and lower extremity function. Therefore, this literature review will concentrate on: the structure of the core, upper extremity power, and lower extremity power. This review offers support for research examining the effect of core strength on upper extremity and lower extremity power.
For my 8 week training activity, I choose to practice soccer to improve various aspects of my physical health. I will try to improve my endurance most importantly. I feel that it is the my weakest physical aspect. I will practice soccer dribbles, because they obviously require technique, I will also practice to move with and without the ball at my control. It is not easy to do, but eventually, I will succeed. As I said earlier, I will improve my endurance. I will jog everyday for 30 minutes( starting) and eventually, I will jog more and more for a longer period of time.
In order for me to reach my targets I am going to do 2 sessions a week
My resting heart rate is 64 bpm and my bleep test score (which I aim
Physiological responses can be analysed in the term of immediate (acute) or long term (chronic) responses. Training routines are aimed at improving both of these. Acute responses are considered to be fast acting, therefore, they are called immediate while long term responses influence the athlete’s performance (Steele J, 2012). Chronic responses which also comes under the word of adaptations, and happens when training occurs, the changes are permanent while an athlete
The purpose of the squat is to train the muscles around the knees and hip joints, as well as to develop strength in the lower back, for execution of basic skills required in many sporting events and activities of daily living. Because a strong and stable knee is extremely important to an athlete or patient’s success, an understanding of knee biomechanics while performing the squat is helpful to therapists, trainers, and athletes alike (11). Because most activities of daily living require the coordinated contraction of several muscle groups at once, and squatting (a multi-joint movement) is one of the few strength training exercises that is able to effectively recruit multiple muscle groups in a single movement, squats are considered one of the most functional and efficient weight-bearing exercises whether an individual’s goals are sport specific or are for an increased quality of life
