Q

possible reasons for different sit and reach scores for sedentary individual, gymnast and rugby player (11)

A

gymnast has specific flexibility training; rugby focus on strength training at cost of flexibility; sedentary neither enhanced or reduces; for all: flexibility reduced as age increase; ball and socket at hip; length/elasticity of muscle; length of connective tissue; elasticity of skin/amount of fat; relative length of limbs; injury restrict RoM; influence of genetics on physiology

Q

plan dynamic flexibility programme to improve RoM for rugby player (9)

A

dynamic stretches use slow controlled movements to take joint through full RoM; warm up raise HR/increase blood flow; walking lunges; open/close gate; 3+ a week; take joint to limit of its RoM; 6-10 reps of each stretch; mimics actions performed in rugby; stretches incorporated to cool down

Q

explain what is meant by dynamic flexibility

A

RoM at a joint performed at speed

22
Q

outline when explosive strength and strength endurance would be needed in gymnastics

A

fast/powerful/dynamic movement eg somersault or tumbling routine or sprint to the vault; repeated strength movements eg floor/rings/bars/pommel horse

23
Q

describe using an eg what static strength is

A

force applied against resistance with no movement/no change in muscle length eg crucifix on rings in gymnastics

24
Q

describe using an eg what dynamic strength is

A

force applied with movement/change in muscle length eg throwing a javelin

25
Q

describe using an eg what maximum strength is

A

max/greatest force applied in a single contraction eg deadlift in weightlifting

26
Q

why a javelin thrower would benefit from good shoulder flexibility (5)

A

increase RoM over which force is applied; reduced tension in antagonists; increased speed of contraction/explosive strength; increase momentum; decrease risk of injury

27

explain how increase buffering capacity can help delay OBLA (3)

A

increase tolerance to lactic acid; reduce effects of lactic acid; prevents the decrease in pH

51
Q

describe the process of glycogen loading (5)

A

7 days before significantly reduce carb intake; 7-3 days before train at high intensity; causes severe glycogen depletion in muscles; 3 days before taper training; 3 days before eat high carb diet
