There are a number of ways to maximise the effectiveness and safety of a training session. This starts with a warm-up and ends with a cool-down, but also includes the application of appropriate training methods, principles and intensities to the participant and their fitness goals. It is clear from this that an effective training programme therefore requires a lot of planning in order to have the safest, most beneficial impact.
| Aspect | How it maximises the safety and effectiveness of a training session |
| Completing a warm-up | Warm-ups are performed before each training session to prepare the body for activity and reduce the risk of . A thorough warm-up that consists of the following components would make sure the body is physically prepared for the activity about to take place:
|
| Completing a cool-down | A cool-down should be performed following a training session to help the body transition to a resting state. It should include the following components:
|
| Using appropriate training methods | Relevant training methods should be chosen for the specific components of fitness being targeted, as well as the specific sporting requirements of the performer. For aerobic endurance, this would mean selecting continuous, fartlek, interval or circuit training. Games players might select training to improve this component as it is better at reflecting the intermittent intensity demands of such sports, whereas endurance athletes who work at a fixed intensity might opt for the specificity of training. |
| Applying the principles of training | The basic FITT principles of training should be applied throughout the programme to progress the frequency, , time and types of training performed. This should take into account the additional principle of progressive to ensure the demands of training progress at a steady rate. Additional principles that should be met include:
|
| Applying appropriate intensities to fitness training methods | The intensity of training should be tailored around the specific fitness needs of the performer for their sport. Heart rate should be used for aerobic endurance training methods. For example, a games player may look to work in the anaerobic training zone for interval training sessions, whereas an endurance athlete would aim for the aerobic training zone for continuous training sessions. Other uses of intensity may be:
