Q

Why is a warm up important?

A

Helps the body prepare for exercise by increasing heart rate

Q

What does the first stage of a warm-up involve?

A
  • Cardiovascular exercise to gently increase HR.
  • This increases cardiac output and breathing rate through the vascular shunt, more blood is directed to the working muscles.

Q

What are the 2 types of static stretching?

A
  1. Active stretching - involves the performer working on one joint, pushing it beyond its point of resistance, lengthening the muscles and connective tissue surrounding it.
  2. Passive stretching- when a stretch occurs with the help of an external force (partner, gravity, wall)

Q

Define ballistic stretching

A

Involves performing a stretch with swinging or bouncing movements to push body even further.

Q

What are the physiological effects of a warm up?

A
  • reduces risk of injury
  • release of adrenaline increases HR
  • muscle temperature increases (allows O2 to dissociate easily from haemoglobin and increases enzyme activity)
  • increased speed of nerve impulses = improved reaction time.
  • anxiety/stress reduction

Q

Why is a cool down important?

A
  • Keeps blood flow high
  • Removes and oxidises lactic acid
  • Maintains venous return
  • Prevents blood pooling
  • Limits effect of DOMS

A

Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type

19
Q

Define periodisation

A

Dividing the training year into specific sections for a specific purpose.

20
Q

What cycles does periodisation divide into?

A
  1. Macrocycle
  2. Mesocycle
  3. Microcycle
21
Q

Define macrocycle

A

Period of training involving a long-term performance goal.

22
Q

What distinct periods make up the macrocycle?

A
  1. Preparation period - general conditioning and developing fitness.
  2. Competition period - performer refines skills and techniques, maintains fitness.
  3. Transition period - rest and recovery stage
23
Q

Define mesocycle

A

Usually a 4-12 week period of training with a particular focus such as power.

24
Q

Define microcycle

A

Description of a week or a few days of training sessions that is repeated throughout the mesocycle.

25
Define tapering
Reducing the volume and or intensity of training prior to competition
26
Define peaking
Planning and organising training so a performer is at their peak, both physically and mentally, for a major competition.
27
Why would a performer require double periodisation?
Some sports require an athlete to peak more than once in a season
