24.01.2022 Effective coaching feedback provides additional information to give athletes more detail about their performances. It has the goal to change behaviour quickly by alerting the individual to the closeness to the correct result. This helps them narrow the gap between what they perceived about what they did, what actually happened, and how they can improve. Providing essential information to athletes at just the right time can accelerate their progress. The three primary reasons ...for providing meaningful information to athletes and teams after a performance are: - motivate, - reinforce good performances or discourage poor ones, and - speed up improvement. Performance feedback is both intrinsic and extrinsic (augmented). Intrinsic feedback relates to how a person feels. Athletes have built-in mechanisms that tell them how well they did. They can experience the results, sense movements that caused the results, and form perceptions about how they think they performed. Augmented feedback comes from an external source which gives the individual or team external knowledge of the result. - Audible - verbal feedback from coach, reaction from peers/crowd. - Visual - guided video feedback, demonstration/re-enactment of performance by coach. - Kinaesthetic - physical guidance feedback - it occurs when feedback is provided by the coach or a device which predominantly is used to exaggerate movement mistakes. Combining intrinsic and augmented feedback is a process that involves giving the individual knowledge of the result (magnitude and direction of error from the correct result) in conjunction with how their feeling relates to performance . If a person estimates their performance AND receives augmented feedback about the results, they will improve better than solely getting augmented or intrinsic feedback.

21.01.2022 No one is perfect. There’s nothing wrong with being imperfect...in the pursuit of learning and self-betterment it’s expected. What is wrong is if you refuse to think you can’t do or be better.

20.01.2022 CUEING Verbal cues are used to help teach, remind and reinforce individuals’ ability to perform a particular task or skill sets. The purpose of cues is to focus attention, promote intention and enhance expression of movement behaviours. They are condensed verbal instructions which are task specific, with the intended purpose to actuate a desired outcome within a tolerable bandwidth. Verbal cues are either internal or external....Continue reading

20.01.2022 Adaptation Homeostasis is the baseline whereby normal bodily functions occur and stress is at a minimum easily catered to with small regulatory adjustments. When an overbearing stress is introduced, ACUTELY: our body responds to RESIST it through a cascade of internal responses. This initial response - after a slight delay - mobilises energy, increases circulation and increase contractility of muscles. Sustained stress will contribute to, at least, fatigue and, at the very wo...rst, potential tissue or organ failure. Once the stress is removed, there’s a systemic deficit below homeostasis. Recovery ensues in attempt to consolidate this gap. The rate and degree of recovery is dependent on the state of fatigue and the health, nutritional and sleep status of the individual. When stress is adequately dosed (Eustress), and with sufficient recovery, super-compensation occurs. This compensation is an initial adaptation to the previously imposed demands - performance improvements above baseline to better respond and resist the same or slightly greater stress when applied in subsequent dosages. If the dose is excessive (Distress), recovery may be insufficient or incomplete to achieve adaptations and recovery may only return performance to baseline and no greater. If a stress is CHRONICALLY applied like those in training or exercise, compensations and adaptations will likely be sustained and become the new baseline. However, training dose must regularly be adjusted to ensure the stimulus is progressively sufficient in an attempt to continually improve upon baseline performance. If the training dose chronically decreases detraining can occur, resulting in a gradual decline in performance baseline. This is due to the inefficiency to sustain accrued adaptions that are no longer utilised.

18.01.2022 Isometrics Along with eccentric emphasis training, isometrics have their own ability to influence performance behaviours. An isometric contraction is a muscular contraction in which the length of the muscle does not change. We can perform these in two contexts, yielding or overcoming.... Yielding - applying force to resist the inertia of an object that is within the means of the individual’s force producibility - submaximal load, maximal intent, submaximal effort. Overcoming - applying force in an attempt to overcome the inertia of an object that is beyond the means of the individual’s force producibility - supramaximal loads, maximum intent, maximum effort. Utilising Yielding Isometrics we can challenge individuals by increasing the effort required to perform a rep without increasing the load. Generally prescribed as a pause or hold, they are useful in developing the awareness of the ideal ‘feel’ of the exercise and positions throughout. By adding pauses top, bottom or middle of lifts can help improve positional strength, kinaesthetic awareness, better timing and sequencing of larger/technical lifts. From a sports medicine perspective, including yielding isometrics in warm ups can help to acutely decrease tendon pain, increase muscle and tendon load tolerance, and can play an important role preventing tendon injury. Overcoming isometrics can be employed to increase motor unit recruitment (potentiation) and decrease co-activation of the opposing muscles. Programmed independently or as part of a contrast method, overcoming isometrics are effectively utilised in training cycles where force production is of higher importance. They can be performed at positions of ease where joint positions are more favourable to express maximal force, or positions of weakness to assist beating a sticking point during lifts. Overcoming isometrics are extremely taxing on the nervous system and should only be prescribed to trained individuals.

15.01.2022 Determinants of Health Health is multidimensional. Every dimension of health affects every other. All of these human constructs and confines contribute to determinants of health, which are factors that influence our health behaviours and our health status. Deficit, disorder or disease in any or all of these key components of health will ultimately alter others.... However, by improving one dimension we can also improve others. Elicit change in one dimension and the gears in other dimensions will also move. Biasing one over others is COPING. Pursuing improvement of each is THRIVING.

14.01.2022 5th set of heavy singles . I’ve always found training is hard, although do I enjoy it. However, I LOVE competition and I find it easy! But I enjoy competing more because I TRAIN.

11.01.2022 This graphic represents our stress response to training and the relative recovery and adaptive responses compared to baseline fitness. Through this, we can get a snapshot of how capacity improvements occur as a dose response to measured training stimuli. In the image, there are 3 different training doses represented by colour: Blue=Maintenance Dose - Minimum Effective Dose Green=Minimum Effective Dose - Maximum Adaptive Dose... Red=

11.01.2022 Therapeutic Range Therapeutic Range describes 4 quotients that may assist coaches and trainers to objectively accommodate effective training volume and load. This range is derived from testing and experience to determined 4 markers: Maintenance dose (MD) the amount of training that allows you to maintain previously established performance qualities.... Minimum effective dose (MED) the lowest dose that provides a beneficial response, measurably greater than rest. Maximum adaptive dose (MAD) the most reliably recoverable and adaptable dose which is a range between the MED and MRD. Maximum recoverable dose (MRD) the highest dose that provides a beneficial response but is unsustainable and potentially harmful as recovery during that time it will be incomplete. Generally speaking, you’ll start the volume and intensity of most of your training cycles (mesocycle)either at or just aboveyour MED, and work up to around your MRD over the course of the mesocycle. The average volume and intensity in that range is thus your MAD, which is the range in which you make most substantive and sustainable performance gains. Knowing the therapeutic range, and with the understanding of load, volume and intensity which correlate with dosage, we can purposefully manipulate these variables to, 1) manage training cycles for appropriate work, rest and recovery; but also, 2) apply specific dosages in a way to elicit specific outcomes for strength or metabolic qualities.

09.01.2022 Eccentric loading has potent benefits to strength, power, agility and injury prevention. It is important to include or to accentuate eccentric loading in early training mesocycles to best prepare muscles and tendons for future heavier training loads. This can be done through slow movement tempos, emphasising the eccentric phases of exercises, and performing drop drills.... Each can help to increase tendon stiffness, increase muscle fascicle length, increase the ability of a muscle to absorb elastic potential energy and increase muscle stretch tolerance. This affords us the ability to better tolerate greater loads in isotonic, isokinetic and plyometric tasks - improving maximal strength, power and agility (through the ability to absorb, disperse and propagate forces). This is also why eccentric training responses may be responsible for decreasing the risk of musculotendinous injury.

03.01.2022 Dose Response Curve Here we have a visual concept of the Therapeutic Range. It describes the relationship of our ability to cope and adapt to the dosage of stress applied to our system. Our dose in this context is stress through volume (sets x reps) and intensity (load). We need to apply stress to stimulate change.... When stress is effectively applied in tolerable (repeatable and recoverable) amounts, positive performance adaptations are induced. This is called Eustress. Stress which is too heavily applied, will at the least be ineffective and contribute to overtraining, and at worst cause injury or maladaptation. This is know as Distress. Effective training occurs in the MAD (maximal adaptive dosage) range, which is the range between the MED (minimum effective dosage) and the MRD (maximal recoverable dosage). Between no stress and stress less than the MED is the MD (maintenance dosage). Stress beyond the MRD potentially harmful if sustained for successive weeks, as recovery is generally incomplete. The stress may contribute to an adaptive deficit such that it is only possible to return to previous baseline (so is no more effect than MD) or requires an extended period of recovery with minimal or disproportional adaptation relative to the effort. This results in diminishing returns or worse - injury, illness or disease. Stress is only one integrant which contributes to adaptation - recovery is the other. With proportional recovery and appropriate load management across weekly, monthly and yearly training cycles, we can build robust performance and sustained levels of efficient energy safely and effectively.
