Training Program Development
Give examples of the type of training activities that would be useful in developing fitness for each level of athletic performance. Discuss the use of heart rate in measuring exercise intensity.
Write an explanation of the muscular demands for the sport you selected. Next, discuss the general approach that should be taken in designing a muscular fitness program for high school athletes in your sport. As a coach in the sport, explain how you will address your athletes’ needs for improving flexibility, strength, muscular endurance, speed, and power. You need not list all the training activities you will use, just the principles you will use in deciding which methods to use in training for the components of muscular fitness.
Develop a set of guidelines for muscular endurance training, speed training, and power training for a sport of your choice. Describe the training methods that you think will be effective for addressing athletes’ needs in these areas. Include a discussion of your recommendation for the frequency, duration, and intensity of training sessions.
