ABSTRACT
Sport is often characterised, not by a single action, but by the ability to repeat actions. In this way the capacity to sustain performance is crucial. This requires the effective development of a range of capacities that determine how successfully performance can be sustained – and what are often grouped under a range of terms such as endurance, energy system development and metabolic factors. This chapter provides a pathway via which effective and specific programmes can be designed and applied for a range of contexts to sustain the levels of performance required.
