STEP 4Classification Structure

Presentation prepared by: Derek Evely. Date: 29/09/2009

Step 4: Classification Structure

• Competitive Exercise (CE): This term refers to exercises (any activities done in training) that are identical or almost identical to the competition event. For example, for shot putters: throwing the shot (glide or spin), sprinters: various forms of sprint work, jumpers: full jumps with various approach lengths, etc…

Step 4: Classification Structure

• Specific Development Exercises (SDE): Refers to exercises that repeat the competitive event in training but in its separate parts and may include resistance or specific strength exercises (overload training). For example, for discus throwers: stand throws, endurance athletes: hill work, triple jumpers: bounding exercises with or without loads, sprinters: resisted or assisted runs.

Step 4: Classification Structure

• Specific Preparatory Exercises (SPE): This term refers to exercises which do not imitate the movement of the competitive event, but train the same major muscle groups and physiological systems. For example: For throws, sprints and jumps: Olympic lifts and various other maximal strength and special strength (explosive jumping and medicine ball) exercises. For endurance: strength endurance exercises and activities.

Step 4: Classification Structure

• General Preparatory Exercises (GPE): These are exercises that do not imitate the competitive event and do not train their specific systems. Generally speaking, these exercises are very all-purpose and used for general coordination and recovery

Step 5: Determine Planning Strategy

• Assume a 7 day microcycle

• Determine the number of periods– 1, 2, 3... More?

Step 5: Determine Planning Strategy

• Assume a 7 day microcycle

• Determine the number of periods– 1, 2, 3... More?

• Determine Macrocycles– Basically determines Preparation vs. Competitive phases

• Time for work, time for play

Step 5: Determine Planning Strategy

• Assume a 7 day microcycle

• Determine the number of periods– 1, 2, 3... More?

• Determine Macrocycles– Basically determines Preparation vs. Competitive phases

• Determine Mesocycles– Key planning division– Content changes
