before i begin... i did an exact same task as yours... applied to triathlon training... got 37/40... its alright... but i dunt like pd much...
A) Discuss the types of training that would be utilized to improve the performance of an athlete in this sport
- well in this you'd obviously discuss the types of training "relevant" to a triathelete, e.g. continuous training, interval training...
- discuss the need for "THRESHOLD" training... thats almost vital!!! lol... somewhere in ur assessment discuss the role of Threshold training please!!!!
B) Apply the principles of training to each of the training types
thats pretty simple... applying progressive overload, give an example... reversibility e.g. of a traithelete not continuing to train during there off season....
Variety!!! thats heaps important.. discuss the need to swim in open pools, the ocean, indoor pools etc.... link that to psychologically prepared e.g. as in "mastering" the visualisation and mental rehearsal... using all 5 senses (vividness)
P.S. There are triathlon magazines out there... buy like 2 copies and read thru them, it has excellent information on training, strength training, techniques etc... just make sure to source them... for some reason i find that pd is the hardest subject to source from... like i constructed my own diagram... and he thought i plagiarised it from somewhere... unless ur teacher is a real PLAGIARISM FREAK... u'll b fine
if u need other questions.... shout me a holler on this thread... is there questions about what energy systems are used during the event? How psychology affects performance... and something about skill rate acquisition, physical performance...????
hope this helped!
