Energy Systems and Training Methods PDHPE Core 2 HSC
Summary:
The PDHPE Core 2: Factors Affecting Performance covers various outcomes and concepts related to physiology, training approaches, and performance enhancement. Students learn about energy systems (ATP-PC, lactic acid, aerobic), types of training methods (aerobic, anaerobic, flexibility, strength), principles of training (progressive overload, specificity, etc.), physiological adaptations to training, and more.

Energy Systems and Training Methods PDHPE
Core 2: Factors affecting performance
Outcomes:
A student:
- H7: Explains the relationship between physiology and movement potential
- H8: Explains how a variety of training approaches and other interventions enhance performance and safety in physical activity
- H9: Explains how movement skill is acquired and appraised
- H10: Designs and implements training plans to improve performance
- H11: Designs psychological strategies and nutritional plans in response to individual performance needs
- H16: Devises methods of gathering, interpreting and communicating information about health and physical activity concepts
- H17: Select appropriate options and formulates strategies based on a critical analysis of the factors that affect performance and safe participation.
CORE 2: FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
How does training affect performance?
| Students learn about: | Students learn to: |
| Energy systems:
– alactacid system (ATP/PC) – lactic acid system – aerobic system
|
Analyse each energy system by exploring:
– source of fuel – efficiency of ATP production – a duration that the system can operate – cause of fatigue – by-products of energy production – process and rate of recovery |
| Types of training and training methods:
– aerobic, e.g. continuous, Fartlek, aerobic interval, circuit – anaerobic, e.g. anaerobic interval – flexibility, e.g. static, ballistic, PNF, dynamic – strength training, e.g. free/fixed weights, elastic, hydraulic |
Assess the relevance of the types of training and training methods for a variety of sports by asking questions such as:
– which types of training are best suited to different sports? – which training method(s) would be most appropriate? Why? – how would this training affect performance? |
| Principles of training
– progressive overload – specificity – reversibility – variety – training thresholds – warm up and cool down |
… |
| Physiological adaptations in response to training:
– resting heart rate – stroke volume and cardiac output – oxygen uptake and lung capacity – haemoglobin level – muscle hypertrophy – effect on fast/slow twitch muscle fibres |
…
