BTEC sport 1 Flashcards
What is Aerobic Endurance ?
The ability of the cardiorespiratory system. Heart and lungs pump blood around your body. Supply nutrients and oxygen for marathon runners.
What is Speed ?
Distance divided by time taken. Speed is measured in m/s. the faster the athlete runs over a given distance the greater their speed is.
What is strength ?
The maximum force in kg or N that can generated by muscle or muscle group.
What is Flexibility ?
Having a adequate range of motion in all joints of the body - ability to move fluidly.
What is Muscular Endurance ?
The ability of the muscular system to work efficiently where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance load.
What is Body composition ?
The relative ratio of fat mass to fat - free mass in the body.
What is Agility ?
The ability of a sports performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction.
What is Balance ?
The ability to maintain centre mass over a base of support.
What is Coordination ?
The smooth flow of movement needed to perform a motor task efficiency and accurately.
What is Power ?
The product of strength and speed expressed as the work done in unit of time, strong movement performed quickly.
What is Reaction Time ?
The time taken for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and the initiation of their response.
What is Physical ?
Body composition Muscular strength Speed Flexibility Aerobic endurance Muscular endurance
What is Skill ?
Reaction time Balance Coordination Power Agility
3 types of speed
Accelerative speed first 30 meters
Pure speed 60 metre sprints - bolt good at this
Speed endurance Sprints with short recovery time
2 types of balance
Static - headstand
Dynamic - Cartwheel
Basic Principles

Additional Principles
Progressive overload Specificity Individual needs/differences Adaptation Reverseability
What is frequency in FITT ?
How often an athlete trains usually a week. When athlete is fitter this will increase
What is intensity in FITT ?
How hard someone trains. Whatever the type of raining it must be carried out worthwhile level of intensity.
What is time in FITT ?
How long each training session is or last to benefit the person.
What is Type in FITT ?
Means the methods of training choose to achieve a persons goals. Athletes may choose to improve a component of fitness, so they will pick a type of training to achieve this. ( E.G continues training run to improve Aerobic endurance.
What is progressive overload ?
Means gradually increasing the amount of overload so as to gain fitness without the risk of injury.
What is Specificity ?
Means matching training to the requirements of an individual.
What is individual needs/ differences ?
Matching training to the requirements of an individual.
What is adaptation ?
When you train your body gets use to your training. The same thing over time body is use to it Repeated exposure + less benefit.
What is reversibility ?
Your fitness levels will drop if you stop training or get injured.
What is variation ?
Minor changes in the training regimes yield more consistent gains in sport performances
What is rest and recovery ?
Rest - the period of time alloted to recovery.
Recovery - the time required to repair damage to the body caused by training or competition.
What are the Aerobic Endurance Methods ?
Continuous Training
Fartlek Training
Interval Training
Circuit Training
Advantage/Disadvantage - Continuous
Its free to set up, no equipment needed, easy to organise, good for aerobic
Risk of injury, only develops aerobic endurance
Component of physical/skill related fitness that method links to - Continuous
Stamina
How can the FITT principle be applied to training method - Continuous
Frequency - Increase the distance run more in a week
Intensity - how fast/slow you run
Time - Decrease rest time keep running
Type - What you do cycle or run
Advantage/Disadvantage - Fartlek Training
Easy to set up, control the intensity, vary it
Need to be motivated, good self discipline
Component of physical/skill related fitness that method links to - Fartlek Training
Aerobic component - speed + power
How can the FITT principle be applied to training method - Fartlek Training
Frequency - increase distance you do it in
Intensity - Increase the speed
Time - Increase how ling you do it for
Type - how you do it cycle,walk,run,sprint
Advantage/Disadvantage - Inteval Training
High intensity, easy to set up, manage progress easy
Need to be fit, becomes boring
Component of physical/skill related fitness that method links to - Interval training
Aerobic + erobic - speed
How can the FITT principle be applied to training method - Interval training
Frequency - Increase number of sprints
Intensity - Increase the speed you do the sprints
Time - Decrease the rest period
Type - Vary the sprints
Advantage/Disadvantage - Circuit training
Works lots of muscles,adjust to suit age
loads of equitment needed, need space, health and safety monitoring
Component of physical/skill related fitness that method links to - Circuit training
Do everything you can in fitness work everything
How can the FITT principle be applied to training method - Circuit training
Frequency - increase number of things you do
Intensity - Increase the speed you do it
Time - Increase the time how long you do it for
Type - vary what you do each week
How can intensity be measured during exercise ?
Echelle de borg
What is heart rate measured in ?
BPM beats per minute
How do you calculator HR max ?
220 - age = BPM
How do you calculate an individuals aerobic training zone ?
60% - 85% of heart rate max = training zone
What benefits do athletes get from training in their aerobic training zone ?
They will improve certain physical components cardio fitness
