Methods of Training
There a range of methods of training (MOTS) that can be used in a training programme. This video explains a range of MOTs that we can use in our training programme. When we create our training programme it is important that we take into consideration the principles of training, so that our training programme is effective for our development

Static vs Dynamic Stretching
These are the two main types of stretching. Static is your basic type which involves lengthening a muscle a far as is possible/comfortable for the athlete. Dynamic is an active warm up which involves stretches which use movement to stretch the muscle beyond its normal range of motion. More details here
Principles of Training
When developing and completing a training programme, it is vital that we apply the principles of training (POTs). These will help us to make sure that our programme is beneficial to use and that we are training effectively. This video outlines the POTs using the acronym SPORT FITT
So how hard should I be training?
So how hard should I be training?
To tell how hard a person should be training we use our heart rate. The easiest way to find your heart rate is by counting the beats on your wrist or on your neck. Count how many for 15 seconds then multiply this by 4. This will give you a relatively accurate BPM. For a video on how to do this click here
The image below indicates the various training zones. We are going to focus on the top 3 tiers: Maximum, hard and moderate. The important number is 80% which refers to your heart rate. If you are exercising below 80% of your max heart then you are training in what is considered the aerobic zone, however above 80% is the anaerobic zone.
If you want more detail regarding aerobic and anaerobic exercise follow this link. It details what these are, their benefits, risks, and examples of each
