Scope Of Training
- Athletes prepare to achieve a specific goal through structured and focused training.
-Training is undertaken across a long period of time and involves many physiological, psychological, and sociological
variables.
- Professionals is a realistic and achievable goal, planned according to individual abilities, psychological traits, and
social environments.
Objectives of Training
- Training is a process by which an athlete is prepared for the highest level of performance Possible.
System of Training
- A system is an organized, methodically arranged set of ideas, theories, or speculations.
- The development of a system is based upon scientific findings coupled with accumulated practical experience.
- A system should not be imported, although it may be beneficial to study other systems before developing one.
- Furthermore, in creating or developing a better system, you must consider a country’s social and cultural
background.
SPORTS TRAINING
Meaning
- Sports training is done for improving sports performance.
- Sports training is the basic form of preparation of sportsperson.
- Sports performance training simply put is a type of training that is designed to improve your fitness (in the broad
sense of the term) level for the purpose of improving your ability to perform a given sport.
- Sport training is a process of preparation for a sport performance, put simply. It consists of four parts:
a) Conditioning training (strength training, endurance training, flexibility training)
b) Training of technique (Technical preparation)
c) Training of tactics (Tactical preparation)
d) Psychological training (Mental preparation)
Definition
- According to “Matwejew 1981”, Sports training is the basic form of preparation of Sportsmen.
- According to “Martin 1979”, Sports training is a planned and controlled process in which, for achiving a goal, changes
in complex sports motor performance, ability to act and behaviour are made through measures of content, methods
and organisation.
1. Principle of Overload: - The principle of overload states that there should be greater than normal load on the body
as required for training adaption to take place. For example to increase endurance, muscle must work for longer
period of time than they used to.
2. Principle of Progressive Development- According to this principle, the load should be increased step- by - step, so
that players can handle easily. The principle of progressive development also makes us realize the need of proper
rest and recovery.
3. Principle of continuity: - According to this principle, the training should be a continuous process. There should not
be any break. The interval between two training session should be maximum but not too long.
4. Principle of Variety: - For a successful coach the training plan should be in variation so as to maintain the interest
and motivation of the athlete. For example changing the nature of exercise, timing and environment.
5. Principle of Individual Differences: - According to this principle, every sportsperson is different due to individual
differences. For example compared to male athlete an women athlete require more recovery time for the same
event.
6. Principle of Specificity: - This principle states that exercising a certain part or components of the body primarily
develops that part.
7. Principle of Active involvement: - the principle of active involvement means that for an effective training
programme the athlete must participate actively and willingly.
8. Principle of Periodization: - The sports training programmes are developed through various training cycles such as
macro cycles, meso and micro cycles.
1. Macro Cycles. - duration 3 to 12 months.
2. Meso Cycles: - duration 3 to 6 weeks.
3. Micro cycles: - duration 3 to 10 days.
9. Principle of General and specific Preparation: - For the improvement of the performance, both the general and
specific preparation are equally important. General preparation serves as the base for specific preparation.
10. Principle of Rest and Recovery: - According to this principle, the training programme should be made in such away
there should be proper rest and interval between training activities.

SKILL physical
TECHNIQUE INTERRELATED and biological
capacities to realize
STYLE the techniques in
different ways.
SKILL
- Skill is an element of performance that enables the performer to do a large amount of work with little effort. The
apparent visible ease of muscular work indicates a skilful movement or performance.
- Skill is that are unnatural and complex can be learned more easily if the different elements in the movements can be
separated and learned by parts.
- A Skill is the ability to perform a whole movement.
- A motor skill is acquired through a long process of motor learning.
- Technical skills in sports therefore, represent automatisation of motor procedure.
- A sportsman tries to learn a TECHNIQUE and through continuous and systematic process, — is likely to acquire the
skill i.e. automatisation of the motor procedure.
- In other words, we can say that skill is the capacity of the sportsman to realize technique in actual motor action.
Technique
- A technique is the way of performing skill.
- It means the way of doing a particular task scientifically.
- Technique is defined as the motor procedure for tackling a motor task and be effective in achieving an aim.
- Motor procedure should be understood as a system of movement of body parts in a definite sequence.
Thus, we can say Techniques are the basic movements of any sports or event.
- The Motor procedure or technique is always task or goal oriented. Therefore, different techniques are required in
different sports.
Example- a) In shot-put, the motor task is to put the shot as far as possible, whereas in weightlifting in clean and jerk
the motor task it to lift as much weight as possible.
b) In team game, the sportsmen are required to tackle a variety of tasks under different conditions.
Therefore in sports, the sportsman has to learn a number of techniques with possible variation.
- The most common form of presenting the technique is verbal and physical. The physical aspects of technique is
conveyed through demonstrations and audio- visual aids.
Style
- It is the manner of doing something that is characteristics of a particular person or pattern.
- It may or may not be based on sound principles.
- A style of doing a movement, if perfect, looks graceful and appealing.
- It is an individual’s expression of technique in motor action, therefore each sports person due to his specific physical
and biological capacities realize the technique in different way.
- According to Webster’s Encyclopedia, “It is the ability of a person to do daily routine work without fatigue; more
over to participate in playful activities and still reserves enough capacity to meet any emergency”.
Physical fitness is the sum of the fine motor abilities namely strength, speed, endurance, flexibility and coordinative
abilities.
- The components of physical fitness are summarized in the hand book of PHYSICAL FITNESS ACTIVITIES by
D.R. GOSADY, D.M. MAPS AND L.E. ALLEY are
There are five physical fitness components. They are directly related to each other .
1) Ballistic method
1) Isometric exercise 2) Static stretching method
2) Isotonic exercise 3) Dynamic stretching method
1) Acceleration run
3) Isokinetic exercise 4) Proprioceptive
neuro-muscular facilitation 2) Pace run
technique.
Strength Speed
a) Static Flexibility a) Reaction ability
b) Dynamic – a) Passive flexibility b) Acceleration ability
1) Maximum strength b) Active flexibility c) Movement speed
2) Explosive strength. 1) Static flexibility d) Locomotive ability
3) Strength endurance 2) Dynamic flexibility e) Speed endurance
Components of
Physical fitness
ii) Isotonic exercise – Exercise when a contracting muscle shortens against a constant
load, as when lifting a weight.
Characteristics- a) Muscles movements can be seen
b) Direct movement of muscles
c) Work is done in these exercise
Advantage- a) Tone-up the muscles
b) Best for strength development method.
Example- Bicep curl, running, jumping, calisthenics exercises
Methods
1) Acceleration run- Attaining maximum speed from stationary position.
2) Pace run/ race- Means running the whole distance of the race in a constant speed.
Flexibility
- It’s a range of movement of joints
- Its means the range of motion available in our joints
Coordinative abilities
Types
1) Orientation ability – The ability to determine the position of the body and its part in time
and space in relation to gravity, moving object like ball, opponent, partner. This ability
depends on functional capacity of sensory organs like eyes, anesthetic sense.
2) Coupling ability – The ability to combine the movements of different body parts for
performing perfect sports movement.
3) Reaction ability – a) Simple b) Complex
4) Balance ability – The ability to maintain balance or to control the body position either in
stationary position.
Ex. – a) A handstand on horizontal / parallel bar or while moving.
b) Water skating.
5) Rhythm ability – The ability to observe or perceive the rhythm of a movement and to do
the movement with required rhythm externally or internally.
6) Adaptation – The ability to change or adjust the movement effectively on the basis of
changes according to the situation.
7) Diffentiation ability – The ability to achieve a high degree of accuracy and economy of
separate body movements and movement phases in a motor action.
Types
a) According to the nature of the activity
Circuit Training
- Designed by GT ADAMSON & R.E MORGAN OF “LEEDS UNIVERSITY” in 1957.
- It’s a scientific arrangement of exercises performed systematically and repeatedly as
circuit.
- During exercise there should be no or little pause after each exercise.
- In circuit training, there should be at least 10 stations.
- Exercise can be changed according to the equipment’s of the games/sports, can cause
effectively and efficiently of the sports person.
- Circuit training is a form of training where participants rotate through a number of stations,
performing different exercises to time or repetitions, back to back, with minimum rest until the
circuit is completed.
- There are various ways of constructing a circuit, but they would normally contain several
movements including body weight, weighted and dynamic exercises.
- The great thing about circuits is the adaptability available. They can be developed for
cardiovascular improvement, strength, mobility, sport specific virtually anything.
- They also don’t need a lot of space or time and don’t need to be overly complicated (unless you
want them to be)
Objective – The main objective of circuit training is to develop endurance & strength along with the
flexibility & mobility.
Types –
2) Warm-up stretching
• Static stretching:
(Back, sides (external obliques), neck, forearms and wrists, triceps, chest, buttocks,
Groin (adductors), thighs (quadriceps and abductors), calves, shins, hamstrings).
• Dynamic stretching involves a controlled, soft bounce or swinging motion
B) Warm-up with warm water: Warm-up with warm water is usually done in developed
countries.
C) Warm-up through Massage: This is an old method of warm-up. It was used in India by
Wrestlers to get warmed-up.
D) Warm-up by Hot Drinks: - Before the competition use of coffee or tea to get them
warmed up, but it is not considered a good method.
E) Through Sun Bath: - the body can be warmed up through sunbath up to some extent,
but most of sports this method of warming-up is not usually applied.
F) Through Steam bath: - The body can be warmed up through steam bath. Energy can be
saved through steam bath but this method of warming-up also not used frequently.
