What is sports training and types of training?

The word Training has been a part of human language since ancient times. It denotes the process of preparation for some task. This process invariably extends to a number of days and even months and years.

The term 'Training' is widely used in sports. There is, however, some disagreement among sports coaches and also among sports scientists regarding the exact meaning of this word. Some experts, especially belonging to sports medicine, understand sports training as basically doing physical exercises Sports' training is done for improving sports performance.

The sports performance, as any other type of human performance, is not the product of on single system or aspect of human personality. On the contrary, it is the product of the total personality of the sports person. The personality of a person has several dimensions e.g. , physical, physiological, social and psychic.

In order to improve sports performance the social and psychic capacities of the sports person also have to be improved in addition to the physical and physiological ones. In other words the total personality of a sportsman has to be improved in order to improve his performance. Sports' training, therefore, directly and indirectly aims at improving the personality of the sportsman.

No wonder, therefore, sports training is an educational (i.e. , pedagogical) process A definition of sports training has to be worked out in the light of above discussed nature of training. A few definitions, however, as given by some experts, may well be presented as below: Sports training is a planned and controlled process in which, for achieving a goal, changes in complex sports motor performance, ability to act and behavior are made through measures of content, methods and organisation Martin, 1979 Sports training is the basic form of preparation of sportsmen Matwejew, 1981 Sports training is a scientifically based and pedagogically organised process which through planned and systematic, effect on performance ability and performance readiness aims at sports perfection and performance improvement as well as at the contest in sports competition Thiess and Schnabel, 1986 Sports training, based on scientific knowledge, is a pedagogical process of sports perfection which through systematic effect on psycho-physical performance ability and performance readiness aims at leading the sportsman to high and the highest performance.

Through active and conscious interaction with the given demands in sports training, the sportsman's personality develops according to the norms and standards of socialist society Harre, 1986.
