TRAINING CONCEPTS AND
METHODOLOGIES
Specificity
• The stresses that are applied to the body in training must be the same as
those experienced in your chosen sport or adventure. For example, if
you’re planning to really get into walking or cycling and only have a
limited amount of time to train, then you must spend time on those
disciplines and not on other sports like squash or tennis.
Overload
Overtraining is a very common problem and comes about when
you don’t get enough rest during your training schedule. This
should not be confused with overload which is the planned
exposure to an increased workload and the right amount of rest
between each session.
Without the correct amount of rest you will suffer from
overtraining. With the correct amount of increased training and the
right rest, you get overload. Overload is essential if your
performance is to improve. You do not want to get the reverse
effect – overtraining.
Progression
This is all about the need to gradually increase the workload that you put
your body through. It is essential to combine training and rest whilst at the
same time increasing the stress that the body is put through. This so-called
‘stress’ is a combination of the frequency, duration and intensity of the
workout.
Progression is all about small increments. It is not a case of doing a two
hour walk one day and a five hour walk a couple of days later. You should
only progress gradually, by around 5-10 per cent at a time. The safest
approach is to increase your weekly activity by no more than five per cent .
Reversibility
Directions: Record the date at the top of the first column using the following scale to indicate the wellness rating for each
dimensions: 1 = Poor, 2= Fair, 3= Average, 4= Good, 5= Excellent. Next, write a goal that you want to accomplish before
the end of the course of each wellness dimension and list 3 specific objectives that will help you achieve each goal.
