Principles of sports training Sports training is a complex process of preparing the sports person for higher performance. This is based up on the successful training practice and on finding of various training science disciplines. The sports principles serve as directives for the coaches and sportsperson for the formation of the training process on the basis of knowledge gained from various training science disciplines.
This principle states that sports training should be Continuous without any break or interruption in between. It further implies That there should be optimum interval (rest) between the training session,however,too long intervals breaks the continuity of the training process.
In relation to the first principle the loading of the training Program had to be gradually increase in order to Improve the performance of the sportsperson. Stagnation In load results in the stagnation of performance.
Training demands correct relation of a sportsperson strength and weakness and should be so well formulated that his strong points are further developed and his weaknesses eliminated. Training should be an individualized process, it should considered the individual differences. The individual differences may be in age, training age (for how long been in training),loading capacity, ability to recover, constitution.
The sports person should be trained and educated in such a manner that he consciously tackles the various task of the training and progressively involves himself in the planning implementation and evaluation of the training process. Participation with dedication will ensure notable results.
Planned and systematic means that all the training means and methods should be used in accordance with -: C.The performance structure of the sports concerned. E.The principle of improvement of the sports performance. G.A long term training process for the building up of performance. I.The long term goal set for the performance.
It is the general preparation which create the base over which special preparation is made or performance is builtup. unless the general fitness and basic concepts are develop first further planning of training is not possible.
This principle states that the various information about technique and tactics and other aspects of training program should be presented to the sports person as clearly as possible i.e. the sports person must have a clear view of the means and method.
This principle states that the total training program of a sportsperson is to be divided in to cycles of shorter and longer duration. The training process consist mainly three types of cycles as -: 3.Macro cycle (yearly cycle),3 to 12 months. 4.Meso cycle (monthly cycle),3 to 6 week. 5.Micro cycle (weekly cycle),5 to 10 days.
The principle aims at guaranteeing the results is the performance improvement and the maintaining of it for a longer time .the sportsperson must know his level and standard, and should always be keep well-inform about the progress he made to achieve the set goal.
