06a. Activity analysis

Question 1

What is the purpose of activity analysis?

Answer 1

To determine the important physiological requirements (energy systems, fitness components and muscle groups) of an activity to increase specificity of training program

Question 2

When should activity analysis be completed when creating a training program?

Answer 2

First step - before any others

Question 3

What information can be gained from W:R?

Answer 3

energy systems

Question 4

What information can be gained from movement patterns?

Answer 4

fitness components and energy systems

Question 5

What information can be gained from a skill frequency table?

Answer 5

fitness components

Question 6

Which method of activity analysis has high accuracy but lower practicality?

Answer 6

video recording

Question 7

Which method of activity analysis has low accuracy but higher practicality?

Answer 7

direct observation

Question 8

What energy system would be associated with 1:4

Answer 8

anaerobic glycolysis

Question 9

What energy system would be associated with 4:1

Answer 9

aerobic energy system

Question 10

What energy system would be associated with 1:9

Answer 10

ATP-CP

Question 11

What W:R ratio is associated with ATP-CP system?

Answer 11

1:5+ (rest significantly higher than work)

Question 12

What W:R ratio is associated with anaerobic glycolysis system?

Answer 12

1:2-1:4

Question 13

What W:R ratio is associated with aerobic system?

Answer 13

1:1 or 2:1 (work equal to or greater than rest)

Question 14

Data that shows a large number of changes of direction would support which fitness component?

Answer 14

Agility

Question 15

Data that shows a large number amount of time within the aerobic training zone would support which fitness component?

Answer 15

aerobic power

Question 16

Data that shows a large number of efforts above 85%MHR with limited/insufficient recovery would support which fitness component?

Answer 16

anaerobic capacity

Question 17

Data that shows a large number of leaps would support which fitness component?

Answer 17

Muscular power

Flexibility also a possibility depending on sport/action

Question 18

Data that shows a large number of lunges would support which fitness component?

Answer 18

Flexbility

Question 19

Data that shows a large amount of time holding a position would support which fitness component?

Answer 19

Muscular strength

Question 20

What type of activity analysis is best used to determine most important muscle groups?

Answer 20

Skill frequency table

eg. increased number of passes = upper body power = deltiod, biceps

Question 21

What is an advantage of direct observation?

Answer 21

increased practicality due to increased accessibility (no much equipment required)

Question 22

What is a disadvantage of direct observation?

Answer 22

decreased accuracy (things can be missed, subjective)

Question 23

What is an advantage of video recording?

Answer 23

increased accuracy (can be rewatched/slowed down)

Question 24

What is a disadvantage of video recording?

Answer 24

decreased practicality due to decreased accessibility (need equipment)
