Explain how individuality influences training prescription for two athletes.
Athletes respond differently - tailor intensity, volume, recovery based on needs/fitness levels.
A basketball athlete needs repeated sprint ability. Which training method and example would best develop this?
Anaerobic intervals, e.g., 15s sprint / 15s recovery × multiple reps
“Bohemian Rhapsody” – Queen

“Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?”
Assess how applying overload incorrectly can reduce performance.
Too much = overtraining, injury, fatigue; too little = no adaptation
