Keywords of Conditioning
The following keywords are needed to understand TDS. peroformance readiness｜performance｜conditioning｜adaptation｜training｜recovery｜ 7 principles of training｜7 loads of training｜system｜systems thinking｜conditioning system｜ training system｜reconditioning system｜system environment｜management｜self-regulation system｜ goal setting｜periodization｜peaking｜tapering｜overtraining｜active rest｜cross training｜ aerobic training｜anaerobic training｜power｜
performance readiness Performance readienss is the athlete's preparedness to perform at his/her own best at any point in time. Physical, psychological, physiological, and medical factors can be measured using daily self-monitoring logs.
performance The state of being performed. It can be measured in competition, field, and laboratory
conditioning Conditioning includes all aspects of the processes (eg training, recovery) used to attain an athlete's or team's best competition performance (figure).
adaptation process（a causal relationship of conditioning） Training load, fatigue, rest, recovery, supercompensation, training load..... (figure).
training Aim: to prepare physically and mentally, as with a regimen (training stimulus).
recovery Aim: to return to normal condition through recovery activities. Activities: nutrition, sleep, relaxation, stretching, warm-down.
7 principles of training 1. overload 2. progression 3. reversibility 4. specificity 5. use/disuse 6. individuality 7. variability 7 loads of training 1. weight 2. height 3. distance 4. time 5. speed 6. volume 7. movement
system A functionally related group of elements. A set of elements that interact to produce behavior. systems thinking How the thing being studied interacts with the other elements of the system of which it is a part.
conditioning system = training system＋reconditioning system（figure）.
training system Aim: to improve tennis performance. Activities: training, recovery.
reconditioning system Aim: to recover from overtraining, injury, and illness （figure）． Activities: physical therapy (stretching, massage, icing), treatment, athletic rehabilitation.
system environemnt Man-STAECS system: Space, Time, Activity, Environment, Cost, Service (figure).
system management PDCA cycle: Plan, Do, Check, Act (figure).
self-regulation system Motivator, intrinsic motivation, subjective ability to act, feelings of acheivement and satisfaction, and confidence.
goal setting 1. Fitness for standard 2. Fitness for design
periodization Varying the traininig loads over discrete periods of time to prevent overtraining. The gradual cycling of specificity, intensity, and volume of conditioning to achieve peaking levels of competition performance (figure). Preparation, pre-competition (tapering), competition, and post-competition.
peaking The level that can perform maximum effort at a major competition.
tapering A reduction in training intensity prior to a major competition to give the level of performance readiness a break from the intense training.
overtraining The attempt to do more work than can be physically and mentally toleleted.
active rest Conduct light exercise for efficient recovery.
cross training Training for more than one sport at the same time, or training multiple fitness components within the same period.
aerobic training Training that improves the efficiency of the aerobic energy-producing systems and can improve cardio-respiratory endurance.
anaerobic training Training that improves the efficiency of the anaerobic energy-producing systems and can increase muscular strength and tolerance for acid-base imbalances during high-intencity effort.
power The product of force and velocity.
