Q

What is VO2 MAX measured in?

A 
Millilitres per kilogram per
minute (ml/kg/min)
-the higher percentage attained
before fatigue sets in, the higher
aerobic capacity of a performer

Q

What affect does Physiological make-up have on VO2 MAX?

Why?

A

The greater efficiency of: respiratory,
cardiovascular and muscle cells to inspire,
transport and utilise oxygen, the higher the Vo2
Max.

  • Stronger respiratory muscles
  • Larger Heart (increase in SV, CO)

-Increase number of RBC’s and
Capillaries

-Increase in SO fibres = Higher
VO2Max

Q

What affect does Age have on VO2 MAX?

Why?

A

From age 20, Vo2 max drops 1% each year

Efficiency is lost in elasticity of the
heart, blood vessels and lung tissue =
lower Vo2 max

Q

What is the direct gas analysis test?

A

Subject performs continuous exercise at progressive intensities to exhaustion.
Expired air is captured by a mask with a tube connected to a flow meter and a gas analyser.
The relative concentrations of O2 and CO2 in expired air to inspired air are measured.
Results can be graphed against intensity and using a simple calculation VO2MAX can be determined.

24
Q

A

Resting HR +% (HRmax –resting HR)

25
Q

Heart rate is often used as a prediction of training intensity. This can be done in two ways

A

Heart rate training zones

Karvonen’s principle

26
Q

What is KARVONEN’S PRINCIPLE?

A

TAKES INTO ACCOUNT A PERFORMER’S AGE AND RESTING HR, KARVONEN’S
PRINCIPLE CAN BE USED TO CALCULATE THE CORRECT TRAINING HR WITHIN A
PARTICULAR ZONE.

27
Q

HR max = 220 – age —————>

A

Training HR = Resting HR +% (HRmax – resting

HR)

28
Q

20 year old running with a resting HR of 65bpm, wants to improve his aerobic capacity and has been told to train
at 75%.

Applying Karvonens principle he should maintain a HR during training of 166bpm to improve his aerobic
capacity

A

Training HR = Resting HR +% (HRmax – resting HR)

Training HR = 65+ 75% of (200 – 75)
Training HR = 65 + 75% of 135
Training HR = 65 + 101 bpm (x the number by 0.75 to work out 75%)

Training HR = 166bpm

29
Q

What is the difference between CONTINUOUS training and HITT training with:

1) Intensity of work
2) Duration of work
3) Intensity of recovery
4) Duration of recovery
5) Practical example
6) Type of athlete suited too

A

1) HITT =High intensity, 80%-95% max
HR
CONTINUOUS= Low-moderate, 60%-80% max
HR

2) HITT = 5 seconds to 8 minutes, repeated
bouts of high intensity work with
varied recovery time – overall
20-60 minutes
CONTINUOUS= 20-80 minutes

3) HITT= 40%-50% of max HR
CONTINUOUS= No recovery, non-stop activity

4)HITT = Recovery interval = work interval
(1:1)
CONTINUOUS= No recovery, non-stop activity

5) HITT= Cycling, running, cross-training
CONTINUOUS= Jogging, swimming, cycling

6) HITT= Can be modified for most athletes
with varying levels of fitness
CONTINUOUS= Endurance athletes as it stresses
the aerobic system and
slow-oxidative muscle fibres

DEPENDENT ON THE EFFICIENCY OF THE NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM.

44
Q

What is Static strength?

A

A type of strength where force is applied against a resistance without any movement occuring.

It is created by isometric contractions as there is no change in muscle length.

It can be referred to as isometric strength

Eg. a handstand on the floor

45
Q

What is Dynamic strength?

A

Strength characterized by movement

A force is applied against a resistance and the muscles change in length eccentrically or concentrically.

Also known as power output

Eg. triple jump

46
Q

What is maximum strength?

A

The ability to produce a maximum amount of force in a single muscular contraction. (1RM)

Eg. A olympic weightlifter performing a deadlift will use maximum strength.

47
Q

What is explosive strength?

A

The ability to produce a maximal amount of force in one or a series of rapid muscular contractions.
It can also be called elastic strength due to the stretch reflex mechanism where the muscle is stretched before concentrically contracting.

Eg. Driving for an interception in netball

48
Q

What is strength endurance?

A

The ability to sustain repeated muscular contractions over a period of time withstanding fatigue.
Essential for sports like rowing or running which are moving the same muscles repeatedly against a fore for an extended period of time.
