Here is an excerpt from my book which defines "complex training" as
was conceived as an approach formally training in Russia. If one looks
this information in depth, see how it applies also to what
is training functional '' and how functional training "can be
integrated into an overall complex system or physical concentrated load
preparation. Well-meaning attempts to separate the whole training
"Functional" and "functional" Therefore, training can often be seen
misleading and inaccurate, because a complex (single-level
session or microcycle), which includes "functional" and "non-functional machine
and free weights, two-dimensional and three-dimensional formation can still
develop a plan perfectly acceptable to achieve "functional training." One
categorically can not label a given year or form of training as
"Functional" or "nonfunctional", without considering the context of
specific training period and every individual.
TRAINING COMPLEX
(MC Siff "Supertraining" 2000 Channel 6, pp 367-368)
namely the complex and concentrated load methods. Cargo complex
involves the prescription of training regimes on several fronts to achieve several
different fitness goals during the same period, while concentrates
storage method is concentrated during a certain period in the production of a single large
specific quality fitness through the use of a one-way training regimen.
Complex formation refers to the simultaneous use of different means of training
the same training, or mesocycle microcycle. For example, a complex exercise
could be composed of resistance training, plyometrics and careers speed: a complex
microcycle (usually one week) you can use the same training in media
different days or at different sessions the same day. If complex
means to be used, it is essential to fully understand how the
different media and interact with each exercise others, as determined by the
acute and delayed consequences of each (discussed earlier in this chapter.)
In addition, prescription complex media depends on the person,
level of competition the athlete, the specific objective, and the scene of
the training program, especially the proximity to major competitions
"Complex Training", which involves concurrent (during a workout or
microcycle) and extended parallel phases (training, up to one year) use of
various tasks of training and a lot of different primary emphasis, usually
considered the most effective way of building training. This is a
direct result of intense research Early supported the principle of
complex organization of training. The results showed that the athlete
achieve balanced fitness multifaceted, that the development of a
motor ability contributes to the development of others and multifaceted
improves load resistance speed of movement and greater resistance
As the exercise unidirectional (Krestovnikova, 1951; Letunov et al.
1954; Zimkin, 1956; Korobkov et al, 1960).
Consequently, the arguments were proposed for the unification of the GPP and SPP, and
the combination of personal qualities determine the training methods, regardless of
the s athlete rating level. Complex training is preferred
unidirectional approach, with its inherently monotonous training
tend to decrease the effectiveness conditioning and promote physical face
preparation.
Unidirectional long work (focusing on the development of factors such as resistance
or speed), apparently causes the body to adapt to the load with the dominant
participation of only some of the physiological mechanisms and not create
conditions for specific adaptation competitive activities. Parallel
different emphasis burden has been shown to improve simultaneously different
physiological functions in the equilibrium necessary for the various sports
(Matveyev, 1970).
All of these concepts are indisputable, in principle, and are important as
most general guidelines, serving as the foundation of physical education
and sports training. However, the research supporting these ideas became
many years ago and use low-skilled athletes. Had advanced
athletes have participated in these studies, then his achievements would have been
only half compared to modern standards. In addition, the form of
of load in those days was different. Therefore, in modern conditions of this
charge would apply only to beginners or athletes Average
qualification.
According Verkhoshansky (1977), there usually seems to be little
advantage for high-level athletes to use the complex system training
although we should not rule out its potential value in various stages of
training individuals in certain specific cases. Arguments for
Another approach may be based on the most progressive sports practice, involving
seeking to overcome the shortcomings most important of the complex system
training, in particular:
1. Very qualified athletes have a very high level of specific physical
preparation. To raise this significantly to improvements in the domain of sports, a
must use strong and relatively prolonged adequate training influences
emphasis. Complex training is not so. In training complex,
volume distribution special cargo (see chapter 6.7.4) can not
cause wide adaptation needed care.
2. There is a defined specificity in the structure of physics
preparation of top athletes. Complex formation, with its multiple facets
influence on the body can not create the conditions necessary for the production of
very specific physical preparation. In addition, the complex formation of high
volume emphasizes the need to establish specific relationships between
processes that develop separate systems of the body, and between
the effects of training load of different primary focus.
3. Highly skilled athletes have to run the competition activities
expert and precise control. Large cargo complex to
while tech sportswear perfect and special physical preparation
inevitably leads to fatigue and a general deterioration of this control. > About the Author
