Quality of Training or Training Quantity?

The quality of training is how well the exercises are performed and is influenced by the technique and loads that are used when performing the exercise.

Training quantity or volume is the total amount of weight lifted. Many individuals often sacrifice the quality of their training in an effort to increase quantity.

In strength training, you should strive to train intelligently. In general, it is recommended that you perform exercises with quality rather than focus on volume. More is less: more volume is often less effective.

Choosing a volume approach also increases the risk of over-training. Over-training combines doing too much without enough rest which results in decreases in performance while increasing the risk of illness and injury.

DAILY EXERCISE PLAN: 21-27 August 2016

A synopsis of the military-style conditioning plan the author used during the week. His program is similar in design to those used by U.S. Marines and U.S. Special Operations Forces.

This week’s physical conditioning plan and daily workout sessions were designed and developed by myself to accomplish my fitness goal of maintaining a solid base of overall physical fitness. To sustain a solid base of overall physical conditioning I consider all components of physical fitness while conducting exercise planning.

A retired Marine, I am comfortable with designing my program in a manner similar to that of America's elite warriors. Their overall objective is to combine agility, endurance, power, speed and strength with combat skills to be applied in the defense of our nation.

CROSS-TRAINING FOR BETTER FITNESS

Cross-training different energy systems is the best way to achieve a better level of fitness. Routines differ so the body can not adapt to one particular system. The more varied the "routine", the better the workout. Changing workout routines and energy systems causes the body to adapt to different modes and recover quicker. This will lead to a well-rounded state of physical conditioning and a higher fitness level.

RESILIENCY TRAINING

Resiliency is the ability to recover quickly from change. This workout will test your resiliency by combining a variety activities in a single session to develop speed, strength and endurance using calisthenics, a conditioning hike and sprinting. 

The calisthenics portion of the the workout emphasized core and lower body movements including air squats, planks and crunches.

Short, explosive sprints were designed to enhance acceleration and quickness. The loaded sprints can be accomplished by pulling a sled, wearing a back pack and sprinting uphill. Keep the weight to about 15% of your body weight.

The conditioning hike was completed wearing a back pack load with 30 pounds. The goal is to improve endurance while carrying extra weight using a moderate pace (approximately 20 minutes per mile).

The Annual Training Plan: Volleyball

Periodization is the development of a peak performance level at a certain time by systematically applying the principles of progression, overload and specificity in designing and implementing a physical conditioning plan. Performing to the best of one’s ability when it is most important is the goal. Additionally, periodization assists in avoiding over-training and in preventing injury.

Athletic teams utilize periodization by dividing the year into off-season, preseason and in-season periods. Their goal is to be at their best while in-season, particularly during the championship portion of the season. Likewise, individual athletes design their training plans to perform best at regional, national and world championship competitions. Periodization is important because the peak can only be maintained for a short period of time.

Most sports divide their annual training plan into four phases; off-season, pre-season, early season and late season. The training goes from general physical preparation and rest in the off-season to primarily high-intensity sport specific skills training and conditioning maintenance in the late season. Minimal sport-specific training occurs in the off-season while late season training includes minimal supplemental training.
