    This document outlines four categories of exercises used in training for competitive events: 1. Competitive Exercises (CE) replicate the full competitive movement. 2. Specific Development Exercises (SDE) repeat parts of the competitive movement or include resistance training. 3. Specific Preparatory Exercises (SPE) train the same major muscle groups but do not imitate the movement. 4. General Preparatory Exercises (GPE) are more general coordination and recovery exercises that do not train event-specific systems. CEs have the highest specificity while GPEs have the lowest. Coaches classify exercises based on these definitions to develop athletes' technique, conditioning, and preparation for their

    The text describes four types of exercises (GPE, SPE, SDE, CE) used in training and what each one involves.

    The four types of exercises are: General Preparatory Exercises (GPE) which train the major muscle groups and systems, Specific Preparatory Exercises (SPE) which prepare the body for event demands, Specific Development Exercises (SDE) which perfect technique and develop event-specific conditioning, and Competitive Exercises (CE) which replicate the actual competition movement.

    SPE stands for Specific Preparatory Exercises. Its purpose is to prepare the athlete's body to handle the demands of training in their event.

    Competitive Exercise (CE)

    This term refers to exercises (any activities done in training) that are identical or almost identical to the competition event. For
    example, for shot putters: throwing the shot (glide or spin), sprinters: various forms of sprint work, jumpers: full jumps with
    various approach lengths, etc…

    Specific Development Exercises (SDE)


    Refers to exercises that repeat the competitive event in training but in its separate parts and may include resistance
    or specific strength exercises (overload training). For example, for discus throwers: stand throws, endurance
    athletes: hill work, triple jumpers: bounding exercises with or without loads, sprinters: resisted or assisted runs.

    Specific Preparatory Exercises (SPE) EVENT


    This term refers to exercises which do not imitate the movement of the competitive event, but train the same
    major muscle groups and physiological systems. For example: For throws, sprints and jumps: Olympic lifts
    and various other maximal strength and special strength (explosive jumping and medicine ball) exercises.
    For endurance: strength endurance exercises and activities.

    General Preparatory Exercises (GPE)


    These are exercises that do not imitate the competitive event and do not train their specific
    systems. Generally speaking, these exercises are very all-purpose and used for general
    coordination and recovery.

    Competitive Movement = The technique used in
    competition. In cases where there are more than
    one possible technique (e.g. Glide vs Rotational
    Shot, Hitch Kick vs Hang Long Jumping, Straddle
    vs Flop High Jumping) include the one the athlete
    will use in competition at the CE Level.
