Q

From outside to in, what is the structure of a Skeletal Muscle. Briefly describe each.

A
  1. Bone: Serves as an anchor for the muscle.
  2. Tendon: Connects the muscle itself, to the bone.
  3. Epimysium: Connective tissue around the whole muscle. Transfers tension to bone to create movement.
  4. Perimysium: Connective tissue around the Fascicle.
  5. Blood Vessel: Keeps blood and other nutrients/essential products flowing around your body.
  6. Fascicle: A bundle of Muscle Fibres
  7. Endomysium: Connective tissue around each Muscle Fiber.
  8. Muscle Fiber: Made up of Myofibrils
  9. Myofibril: Made up of Actin and Myosin.

Q

What is meant by the term ‘Energy System Interplay’

A

Energy System Interplay refers to the progressive predominance of different energy system throughout an active time period. Immediately, the ATP-CP system takes predominance for the first 5-10 seconds, while the Anaerobic and Aerobic assist. Then the Anaerobic takes predominance for the next 2 minutes which ATP-CP and Aerobic take the back seat and then Aerobic finally kicks in until your smashed.

Q

What are the Origin and Insertion points. What are they also known as?

A

The Origin point is the point that connects to the stationary bone during muscle contraction. It is also known as the Proximal end.

The insertion point is the point that connect to the moving bone during muscle contraction. It is also known as the Distal end.

Q

List the points of the Sliding Filament Theory (7 points, 2 rules)

A
  1. Nerve impulse stimulates the release of Acetylcholine.
  2. Calcium is then released from the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum.
  3. Calcium binds to troponin which displaces tropomyosin revealing the Actin binding sites.
  4. ATP attatched to Myosin head and breaks off one Phosphate to form ADP+Pi, creating energy.
  5. Energy is held in the Myosin head and used to create a crossbridge when the head grabs on to the Actin Binding Site.
  6. Myosin head pulls on Actin Filament in a process called the power stroke, sarcomere shortens.
  7. New ATP Molecule attatches to the Myosin head, releasing the cross bridge and the process begins again.
  • Contraction can continue as long as there is ATP present.
  • Once nerve impulse stops, Calcium is reabsorbed by Sarcoplasmic Reticulum and contraction is no longer possible.

Q

Why is it harder to breathe at altitude.

A

It is harder to breathe as there is a smaller concentration of oxygen in the air. When breathed in, it affects the concentration gradient needed to diffuse oxygen into blood, causing a lack of oxygen to enter.

94
Q

Name and describe the 4 sections of the Basic Coaching Process

A
  1. Introduce the skill to be learned: Get athletes attention and explain name of the skill and how/when it is used
  2. Demonstrate and explain skill: Demonstrate skill using 2 or 3 steps and ensure the group understands.
  3. Practice the Skill: begin practicing the skill straight away. Should be fun and age appropriate.
  4. Correct errors / provide feedback: feedback sandwiches.
95
Q

What are the two ways you teach simple skills?

A
  1. Imitation Method: Coach learns, learner copies
  2. Demonstration / Explanation / Practice / Correction
    in the name.
96
Q

What are the two ways you teach complex skills?

A
  1. Shaping: Learning a simple version of a skill and building on it.
  2. Chaining: Learning a part of a skill perfectly, and then adding the next/previous part.
97
Q

Name and define the 4 types of frictional force.

A
  1. Static Friction: Friction between two objects that are not moving.
  2. Sliding Friction: This occurs when two objects slide over each other.
  3. Rolling Friction: When one object rolls across another object.
  4. Fluid Friction: Friction caused by water or air.
98
Q

What is Newtons 1st Law of Motion

A

A body continues in a state of rest or state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.

99
Q

Define Inertia

A

Inertia is the term used to describe the amount of resistance to change in an objects state of motion.

100
Q

What is Newtons 2nd Law of Motion

A

The rate of change of acceleration to a body is proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object”

Essentially, it is Force = Mass x Acceleration

101
Q

Define Momentum

A

Momentum is a measure of the amount of motion possessed by a moving body and can be expressed mathematically as p=mv

102
Q

Define Impulse

A

Impulse is the application of force over a period of time to change the momentum of an object.

103
Q

What is Newtons 3rd Law of Motion

A

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

104
Q

What 3 factors affect the Coefficient of Restitution

A
  1. Equipment and Materials
  2. Temperature of the balls
  3. Velocity of the collision
105
Q

What is a concentric force in regards to biomechanics?

A

Force applied to produce linear motion (knuckleball)

106
Q

What is an eccentric force in regards to biomechanics?

A

Force applied to produce angular momentum (curveball)

107
Q

Define Torque

A

Torque is the turning effect created as a result of an eccentric force being applied around a pivot or axis.

108
Q

Define Angular Momentum

A

The quantity of angular motion possessed by a rotating body and is expressed mathematically as;

Angular momentum = angular velocity * moment of inertia

109
Q

What is the lever rule?

A

FLE - 123

110
Q

Name and describe the two factors that affect fluid resistance

A
  1. Density: The more dense the fluid, the more disturbed the fluid becomes and hence the greater the resistance
  2. Viscosity: The more viscous the fluid (internal resistance of a fluid to flow), the more disturbed the fluid becomes and hence the greater the resistance
111
Q

Name and describe the three types of drag

A
  1. Surface Drag: Friction produced between fluid and surface of a moving object
  2. Form Drag: Resistance created by pressure differential between front and back of an object
    moving through a fluid
  3. Wave Drag: Resistance formed by creation of waves at the point where air and water
    interact.
112
Q

What are the six factors that will affect drag

A
  1. Drag Coefficient
  2. Cross Sectional Area
  3. Speed
  4. Surface Roughness
  5. Mass
  6. Shape
113
Q

Define Bernoulli’s Principle

A

As the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure the fluid exerts on an object decreases. Velocity is inversely proportional to pressure.
