Training Load Planning

Training Load Planning
Training harder and more often is not always better!
A high training load without sufficient recovery can lead to overtraining. This has detrimental effects on the body and increases the chances of developing an overuse injury.
Tip #1:
Training load must be designed to push the body, while planning sufficient time for the body to recover and adapt.
Tip #2:
To gain benefits, the body grows and adapts the strength and size of muscles and their efficiency. These changes take time.
Tip #3:
Long term training programs are designed with fluctuations in intensity, to allow for periods of recovery.
Tip #4:
High intensity sessions may be supplemented with lower intensity or ‘recovery sessions’. These involve a different type of exercise, such as swimming for a rugby player.
Tip #5:
Follow a well designed program and listen to your body when you are fatigued.
