Sports training meaning

In this power point i am trying to explain the defining of the term sports training, conditioning, coaching, adaptation and training load.

1. Sports training

2. THOUGHT OF THE DAY “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” – Brian Herbert

3. Meaning Training is the process of preparation for some task. This process invariably extends to number of days and even months and years. Training in the field of sports, training is a process, which involves preparation of a sportsperson to attain highest level of sports performance. Sports training is a complex process of preparation of sports person and human beings for better sports performance or physical performance. It is the process of planning, implementation, assessment and regulation of sports training in its totality.

4. Sports training is a pedagogical process, based on scientific principles, aiming at preparing sportsmen for higher performances in sports competitions. Sports training aims at improving the personality of the sportsperson. Therefore sports training is an educational(pedagogical) process. Sports training is a systematic process extending over a long period. For best results the system of training has to be based and conducted on scientific facts and lines . This complex nature of sports training, in order to effective and beneficial, requires knowledge and assistance from other sports science disciplines e.g. sports medicine, exercise, and sports physiology, sports bio-mechanics, sports nutrition, and so on.

5. definition “Sports training is a planned and controlled process in which, for achieving a goal, changes in complex sports motor performance, ability to act and behavior are made through measures of content, methods and organization ”. –Martin 1979. “Sports training is the basic form of preparation of sportsmen”.- Matwejew 1981 “Sports training is a scientifically based and pedagogically organized process which through planned and systematic , effect on performance ability and performance readiness aims at sports perfection and performance improvement as well as at the contest in sports competition”. –Thiess and Schnabel 1986.

6. COACHING The task of the coach is to help the athlete to achieve excellence. The coach offers knowledge and time to athletes, and assists them to enhance their skills fulfill their potential . A coach has to formulate the training programme keeping in mind certain individual characteristics namely biological chronological and training ages; training state; psychological factors like personality; intelligence; temperament; total load taking capacity and possibility to recover. The coach has to ensure that the training of his sportsperson is uninterrupted and the training and the training load is steadily increased as soon as the sportsperson gets adapted to the load.

7. In general sense the term ‘coaching’ refers to providing help so that a person can execute his job efficiently. A technical skill which involves coordination of factors like time sequence, action movement and speed so as to enable a sportsperson to attain highest level of efficiency in a specific sports. Coaching involves teaching, training, instructing and helping people to learn skills of games and sports, improve performance and reach their potential. It is also about recognizing , understanding, and providing for the social, emotional and personal needs of the sportspersons.

8. Conditioning Conditioning is a process of gradually preparing the body for strenuous physical activity thus focusing attention on development of physical and motor fitness components (strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, coordinative abilities) and indirectly enhancing sports performance.  The act or process of training  a person  or animal to  do  something or to behave in a certain way in a particular situation Physical conditioning refers to the development of physical fitness through the adaptation of the body and its various systems to an exercise program.

9. Training load The training state of a sportsperson develops as a result of application of motor stimulus (movement) resulting in improvement and maintenance of performance capacity. Load in training and competition is mostly good for health whereas stress indicates something negative effect in health . Load leads to a temporary disturbance of homeostasis. Load always causes physical and psychic changes or disturbances . Training load is the process of tackling training and competition demands which causes temporary disturbance of psychic and physical state of homeostasis.

10. In addition to improvement of performance, the training loads also facilitate maintenance and stabilization of performance capacity . Load is also given sometimes for the purpose of accelerating the recovery processes. Training load can be defines as Volume × Intensity. The most easy way is to do it exactly as a formula: 60 minute workout with average HR. 60 × 121 = 7260 training load. Physiological and psychological demands placed on the individual through motor stimulus ( movement) resulting in improvement and maintenance of performance capacity.

11. adaptation In literal sense the word adaptation means to get adjusted with . The human organism changes to a new state of performance efficiency as a result of administration of external load. In fact load and adaptation go side by side. This process of adaptation is a bio-chemical process and is applicable to improvement of conditional abilities (strength, speed endurance) only . As a sportsperson is exposed to the training and competition demands , this results in disturbance of the homeostasis (internal body balance ). In case the bodily homeostasis is disturbed again and again for a certain period of time than the human body responds by causing structural and metabolic changes, which enable the body to withstand the load more easily. This is called adaptation .

12. Aim & task of sports training The aim of sports training is to prepare a sportsperson physically, physiologically and psychologically for a possible highest sports performance at the time of main competition, in a specific sport . To ensure this, the following four tasks are to be achieved: Physical Fitness or Condition/ physical preparation: The physical fitness or condition is the sum total of five motor abilities namely strength, speed, endurance, flexibility and co- ordinative abilities. The improvement and maintenance of physical fitness or condition is perhaps the most important aim of sports training.

13. Technical skill or technical preparation: Sports Performances are possibly only through sports motor actions or movements. The performance of a sportsperson is significantly affected by the skill with which these actions or movements are performed. Learning of sport technical skills therefore, is an important aim of sports training . Higher the level of skill, higher will be the performance. In order to acquire skill mastery, one has to undergo technical training .

14. Tactical efficiency or tactical preparation: The tactical efficiency consists of three elements Knowledge of competition rules Possibilities of exploiting various internal and external factors for achieving best possible results ; tactical abilities and tactical Skills. Tactical efficiency is important in all sports but its role is different in different sports. The total volume of tactical training increases with the increase in the level of performance

15. Education or intellectual training: Sports performance is the product of the total personality of the sports person. Beliefs, values, motives, interests, attitudes etc. Cognitive abilities e.g., perception, thinking, memory etc. Emotional abilities e.g., control of emotions. Personality traits e.g., regularity, sincerity, hard work. Habits e.g., habits of eating, sleeping, hygiene etc .
