Definition of Speed
Distance divided by time measured in ms
What is aerobic endurance
The ability of cardiovascular system to work efficiently supplying oxygen to muscles
What is strength
The maximum force that can be generated by a muscle or group
What is flexibility
Having a range of motion in all joints of the body.
What is muscular endurance
The ability of the muscular system to work efficiently. where a muscle cab continue over a period of time
What is Coordination
The ability of a sports performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction without losing balance or time.
What is Agility
The smooth flow of movement needed to perform a motor task efficiently and accurately.
What is Power
The ability to maintain centre of mass over a base of support
Speed x Strength
What is Reaction Time
The time taken for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and the initiation of their response.
What are the types of speed
- Accelerative speed
- Pure speed
- Speed endurance
What are the types of balance
- Static balance
- Dynamic balance
Progressive Overload
Progressive Overload means gradually increasing the amount of overload so as to gain fitness without the risk of injury.
Specificity
Specificity means matching training to the requirements of an activity.
Individual needs and differences
Matching training to the requirements of an individual
Adaptation
This happens during your recovery from training. Your body builds itself bigger and better to be able to cope with training loads. Your body adapts to training.
Reversibility
Your fitness level changes all the time and will go down if you stop training or get injured and therefore you will ‘lose fitness’.
Variation
The Variation Principle suggests that minor changes in training regimens yield more consistent gains in sport performance
Rest and Recovery
Rest – the period of time allotted to recovery
Recovery - the time required to repair damage to the body caused by training or competition
What training methods develop aerobic endurance
Continuous training
Fartlek training
Interval training
Circuit training
what are the advantages/disadvantages of continuous training
Advantages -No equipment needed -Sport specific -Improves aerobic endurance Disadvantages -Risk of injury -Only develops aerobic endurance
What are the advantages/disadvantages of fartlek training
advantages -Easy to setup -Improves aerobic endurance -Improves anaerobic endurance -Adds variety Disadvantages -Can be boring -Needs a lot of motivation -Manage how hard they are working
What are the advantages/disadvantages of interval training
Advantages -Sport specific -Easy to measure progress -Easy to carry out Disadvantages -Can be boring
