Q

describe how running affects the venous return mechanisms

A

heart rate increases so venous return increases, this causes the skeletal muscle pump to work as their is increases muscle contractions. the increased size in muscles presses on the nearby veins and squeezes blood back to the heart

31
Q

the all or none law

A

once the motor neurone stimulates the muscle fibres,either all of them or none of them contract

32
Q

outline the stages and functions of the kreb cycle

A
  • it goes to acetyl+oxiloative=citric acid

- Co2 is then produced

33
Q

identify the energy sources that a performer may use during competition

A

the energy sources that a performer may use is phosphocreatine in the atp-pc system. and glycogen,fats and proteins in the kreb cycle

34
Q

wave summation will occur…

A

the greater the frequency of the stimuli
the greater the tension of the muscle

therefore the repeated action of a motor neurone simulating a given muscle fibre results in a greater force of contraction

35
Q

what needs to be present for the muscles to contract

A

calcium needs to be present for the muscles to contract
each time the nerve impulses reaches the muscle cell, calcium is released
if there are repeated nerve impulses with no time to relax, calcium will build up in the muscles.this will produce a forceful tetanic contraction

36
Q

compare the 4types or muscular contractions

A

isotonic is where there is movement
isometric is where there is no movement
concentric is when the muscle shortens
eccentric is when the muscle lengthens

in the upward phase of a bicep curl the tricep performs a concentric contraction as it lengthens. in the downwards phase the triceps performs a eccentric contraction as it shortens

37
Q

characteristics of anaerobic glycolytic system(anaerobic)

A

no oxygen
provides energy for high intensity activity for longer than the atp-pc system
how long the system lasts depends on the fitness level of the performer and the intensity of the exercise
can last update to 3 minutes but can peak at 45seconds for high intensity activity

38
Q

advantages of anaerobic glycolytic system

A

ATP can be resynthesised quickly due to very few chemical reactions
when oxygen is available, lactic acid can be converted back into liver glycogen
can be used for a sprint finish

39
Q

Disadvantages of Anaerobic glycolytic system

A

Lactic acid is a harmful by product
only a small amount of energy can be released from glycogen under anaerobic conditions(only 5% instead of 95% under absorbing conditions

40
Q

what are the 3 stages of the aerobic system

A
  • glycolysis
  • krebs cycle
  • electron transport chain
41
Q

Where does glycolysis happen and what are the steps of it

A

glycolysis happens in the sarcoplasm. glycogen goes to glucose then to pyruvic acid which is 2xatp

Glycolysis does not need oxygen

42
Q

where does the krebs cycle happen and what are the steps or it

A

the krebs cycle happens in the mitochondria and requires oxygen. acetyl coenzyme+oxaloatic acid=citric acid. this then produces Co2, proteins and fats

43
Q

electron transport chain is when

A

hydrogen+ ions bond with oxygen to make water(H20)

44
Q

how much ATP is there in the aerobic system

A

36

45
Q

advantages of the aerobic system

A

large amount of ATP produced
no fatiguing byproduct as oxygen and water are only produced
we have lots of glycogen stores so exercise can last for a long time

46
Q

outline the 3 stages of development in Vygotsky’s social development theory

A

what can i do alone(i can hold a golf club and stand correctly)
what can i do with help( i can swing the golf club and make contact with help from my coach)
what can i not do yet(i cannot yet hit the golf ball with accuracy towards a target)

47
Q

what is positive reinforcement

A

praise/reward strengthens the SR(stimulus response) bond making it more likely for the action to happen again

48
Q

what is negative reinforcement

A

the removal of unpleasant consequences when the athlete does the correct technique/strengthens SR bond

49
Q

what is the stimulus response bond

A

the connection made between the stimulus and the response of a stimulus

50
Q

positive punishment

A

add something to decrease the behaviour

51
Q

negative punishment

A

remove something to decrease the behaviour

52
Q

characteristics of Type1 muscle fibre types

54
Q

characteristics of type11b muscle fibre type

A 
contraction speed-fast
force produced-high 
fatiguability-high
aerobic capacity-low
mitochondrial density-low
myoglobin content-low
55
Q

what is the psychology refractory period

A

the delay when a second stimulus is presented before the first has been processed

when defending and attacker performs a body feint you might get confused as you havnt processed the first movement

56
Q

what is single channel hypothesis

A

when a stimulus has been recognised and is in the process of being dealt with any other secondary stimuli must have to wait till the first has processed

57
Q

hicks law made

A

1952

58
Q

hicks law states

A

the more stimuli there is the longer it takes to chose the correct response

59
Q

what is simple reaction time

A

a simple response to a single stimulus

60
Q

reaction time is

A

the amount of time taken from the onset of stimulus to the onset of a response

61
Q

response time=

A

reaction time+movement time

62
Q

what are the two types of anticipation

A

temporal and spatial anticipation

63
Q

example of temporal anticipation

A

when the referee throws the ball up in basketball, predicting when the event will occur is temporal anticipation

64
Q

spatial anticipation

A

the ability to predict what will happen in the environment within a performance situation

anticipation when ur opponent will hit a smash to the right in tennis

65
Q

schmidt(1982) ls schema theory states

A

states that there is a less use of structured sets of movement,instead core principles are taken from existing motor programmes and then adapted

66
Q

what are the 4 parameters of schmidt schema theory

A

recall:
1)initial condition-use of senses to identify important info from display “where am i”
2)response specification-information from the display is used to make a judgment”what do i need to do”
recognition:
3)sensory consequences-use or internal senses to guide the movement”how am i going to do this”
4)response outcome-“did the action have the desired outcome

67
Q

example of positive feedback

A

praise when hurdling was good

68
Q

example of negative feedback

A

criticism when you didn’t keep your lead leg straight when hurdling

69
Q

what are the 3 methods of practise

A

whole part whole
whole
progressive part practise

70
Q

describe the bohr shift

A
  • occurs as a result of increased Co2 in the blood
  • increase hydrogen ions
  • bohr shift is when an oxyheamoglobin dissociation curve moves to the right
71
Q

who funds sport england

A

the national lottery

72
Q

what are the characteristics of sport england

many people have invested interest and h trying to improve participation

sport england has overall become a mission to create a sporting habit for life

73
Q

what are the 3 aims of sport england

A

start
stay
succeed

74
Q

physical benefits of participation

A
  • increased bone density through regular weight bearing activity. this will reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life
  • increased physical health and fitness. this can be reduction in cholesterol, reduction in blood pressure, or achieving a healthy body weight. this will cause a reduced risk of heart disease, heart attack,stroke,type 2 diabetes
  • increased flexibility due to stretching. this can reduce the risk of arthritis in later life
