Learning Activities
1. ‘Card Sorting’ activity. Collate three sets of colour-coded activity cards:
- Training Principles (e.g. Progressive Overload, Specificity, Variety)
- Physiological Adaptations (e.g. Increased VO₂ max, Muscle Hypertrophy, Faster Recovery)
- Performance Improvements (e.g. Run Faster, Lift Heavier, Recover Quicker)
Shuffle the cards and distribute them to small groups.
Groups must match one training principle to a physiological adaptation and a performance improvement, creating a logical training chain. For example: Progressive Overload - Increased Muscle Strength - Lift heavier weights.
Groups present their chains and explain the connections.
Revision Questions
1. Outline how haemoglobin level is impacted by training.
2. Describe examples of physiological adaptations to training.
3. Analyse the relationship between progressive overload, muscle hypertrophy and improved performance.
4. Discuss how improved cardiac output and oxygen uptake improve performance.
5. Evaluate the role of the principles of training in promoting physiological adaptations and improved performance.
