Document Summary

Specificity: the athlete is trained in a specific manner to produce a specific adaptation or training outcome. Overload: assigning a workout or training regimen of greater intensity than the athlete is accustomed to. Ex: increasing load, sessions/week, adding exercise or sets, emphasizing complex over simple exercises, decreasing the length of the rest periods. Ex: raising number of weekly training sessions, adding more drills or exercises to each session, changing the type of technical requirements f the drills or exercises, or otherwise increasing the training stimulus. Based on athlete"s trai(cid:374)i(cid:374)g status a(cid:374)d is i(cid:374)trodu(cid:272)ed s(cid:455)ste(cid:373)ati(cid:272)all(cid:455) a(cid:374)d graduall(cid:455). Needs analysis: two-stage process that includes an evaluation of the requirements and characteristics of the sport and an assessment of the athlete. Determine unique characteristics of the sport, which includes the general physiological and biomechanical profile, common injury sites, and position-specific attributes.
