Training

From Maxithlon

There are two kind of training: weekly training and weekly tests.

Weekly training

During the weekly training each athlete can improve his technical skills: to get the weekly training the athlete must have competed and completed a competition with a valid result, in an event of the assigned specialty at least once from the last training, or he must have sent to training retreat during the week. Moreover it's necessary that the athlete is assigned to a coach with the same specialty and that the athlete is not injuried.
With the weekly training the athlete get a very little improvement in specialty skills, besides the improvement he normally get depending on the percentage of the training dedicated to this skills.
The value of the improvemente of each skills depends on many factors, among which the age and the value of the athlete's care, the coach's ability and the percentage of the training dedicated to that skill.
The athletes in the youth squad can have a coach and can be trained 50% faster than the athletes in the first squad, also without be enrolled in meetings.
On the occasion of the weekly training are updated the form and the mood of the athlete, indipendetly if he gets or not the training.

Weekly tests

Weekly tests are a test of the performance of each athlete: the athlete makes an competition inside the club in the events of his specialty (for example a long distance runner will make one test on 5000 Meters, one on 10000 Meters and one on the marathon and the results will be stored in the training page of the file of each athlete.

To make a test is enough that the athlete has got a specialty.

The tests are useful to know the potential of an athlete: naturally the achieved results will be lower that the ones he could achieve in a competition.

Days with weekly tests:

• Tuesday - Sprinters
• Wednesday - Half-distance Runners and Long Distance Runners
• Thursday - Race-walkers
• Friday - Jumpers
• Saturday - Throwers

In the page of weekly tests you can see the week of the update, so the week in which there have been the last tests for that specialty. Don't take into account the tests you might see in the further weeks.
