Portfolio Topic & Key requirements

The portfolio should consist of the following sections:

1. Fitness Assessment:

– Detail when, where, and how often testing would take place over the 20 week period

– In a table list the fitness assessments you would use and the time point that these would take place in.

2. Training programmes:

– You should provide a needs analysis and an overall periodisation programme for the entire 20 week block. This needs to include appropriate macro, meso and micro cycles (when relevant). Your focus is on the S+C element of the training programme rather than the specific athlete sport training.

– Example training week for a selected block during the training period. This requires a detailed training programme for each session that would take place in an example week. This can be any week during the 20 weeks. Be clear which week that it refers to.

3. Programmes should include:

– Warm-up and cool-downs.

– Exercises/Reps/Sets/Load/Recovery periods for each session.

3. Scientific justification:

– Discuss and evaluate the periodisation approach used.

– Critically appraise the approach to each individual training block.

– Detail how the programme you have designed fits the needs of the scenario; provide justification for the mode of exercise, sets reps and rest prescribed.

– Provide a rationale for the progression provided across the blocks.

– Detailed analysis of the adaption to that athlete’s specific situation that will take place as a result of the inclusion of your S+C training

– Develop a programme that is sport specific to the individual case that you have chosen.

– Provide scientific justification from peer-reviewed journals which are available online.
