Client 2elite athlete

For this we need to make sure that the training is specific to the sport or position of that sport for an elite athlete. So say we are doing a 100m sprint we would concentrate on speed for them. The kind of training used would be plyometrics or speed intervals. As an elite athlete are already fit I don't need to worry about giving them high impact work. Alis they are really experienced in training so I could give them more complex training. The programme for an elite athlete would be to get the mist out of the training, reach the optimum training level.

As the elite client would want to get the most out of his body, I can apply overload quickly without worrying to much because the client is very experienced at training. If I would overload I would overload frequency because the client can push themselfs harder also the client would already be training for long periods of time and every day so you can't improve frequency or time. The type is very important as the client would have already done alot of training and would get bored if he us doing the same thing over and over again.

Reversibility won't affect an elite athlete as much as a sedentary client as the elite athlete has more experience and they improve less but also decrease less so it takes longer for reversibility to take place, but it does happen in the off season and injury but in the off season athlete do something called active rest which helps them stay fit without to much strain on their body.

The next principle would be variance. As an elite athlete has so much more experience he/she would be used to the training methods sO you got keep it intresring by changing the area in which you train maybe different training methods or partners. Their would be a range of methods that these clients would be able to cope with as their skill and experience level is high.
