For example, in Appendix A, referring specifically to the elite training program, it shows that the number of reps that must be completed in addition to the tempo of how the activity should be at. These tempos will generally require a higher level of fitness.
The predominant energy systems used for a volleyball spiker, is the Aerobic energy system and the ATP-CP system.
As a spiker, positioning can be hard work and fast paced with the duration of a point potentially making the player fatigue, but prolonged breaks in between points enable a spiker to keep their stamina up, by enabling the dominant energy system, ATP-PC being able to recover during these breaks, therefore preventing fatigue. Moving around the court and getting into position is generally where the aerobic system becomes most dominant, when the spiker is in position to spike, this is where an interplay of energy systems commence. When the spiker commences their run up, a sequence of fast paced movements, requiring a high levels of oxygen intake, allows the ATP-PC energy system to become the dominant energy system. After finishing the spike an interplay of energy systems are used with the Aerobic System slowly becoming dominant again until another fast paced movement is required. This would again include, jumping and hitting the ball whilst in the air, look at Picture 1, inserted

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the netball-training program for a goal shooter will be undertaken by assessing its application of training principles, which are frequency, intensity, specificity and progressive overload. Furthermore, a recommendation will be made to improve its effectiveness to enable the best results for a goal shooter position in netball. Frequency is defined as the number of times an event occurs within a certain period. Both types of training, aerobic and anaerobic are implemented in the training program. Having the correct amount of training time for the different types of training is important to ensure that the goal shooter benefits from the exercise and improves the needed fitness components.
