What is the main goal of periodisation?
To structure training to optimise performance at specific times
The ATP-PC system uses which fuel source?

Variety is an important training principle because it:
Maintains engagement and prevents boredom
The ability to maintain the body’s position whether moving or stationary is called (component of fitness)

The lactate threshold refers to:
The point where lactate begins to accumulate faster than it can be removed
Identify which training principles refers to how long a training session lasts
Duration
Why is reaction time important in fast-paced team sports?
It allows players to respond quickly to stimuli like a ball or opponent
Fartlek training differs from continuous training because it:
Includes bursts of varying speed and intensity
What is the purpose of implementing a cool down in training programs?
Gradually returns body to a resting state, aid recovery, lower HR and body temperature, relax muscules and reduce stiffness

Anaerobic and ATP
When someone has plateaued in their training, not seeing any results and getting bored, identify what you could change to the program?
Progressive overload
Variety - change up the exercises
Rest/recovery - check the athlete hasn't been overtraining and incorporate relevant rest
