Chapters 7-10 Flashcards
Skill related fitness components
Muscular power, balance, co ordination, reaction time, speed and agility.
Anaerobic capacity
The ability of the body to produce energy without using oxygen.
Eg. Discus, high jump or long jump
Aerobic capacity
The ability of the heart, blood vessels and respiratory system to supply nutrient and oxygenated blood to the working muscles.
Eg. Marathon or footy game
Muscular strength
The force or tension a muscle/muscle group can exert against a resistance in one maximal contraction.
Eg. Weight lifting
Body composition
Proportion of bone, muscle and fat in an athlete.
Eg. BMI, ski folds
Muscular endurance
The ability of a muscle/common group of muscles to continue sustained contractions in the face of fatigue.
Eg. Last push up in a set of push ups
Flexibility
The capacity of a joint to move through its full range of motion, and reflects the ability of the muscles and connective tissues to stretch.
Eg. Splits, dancing
Health related fitness components
Anaerobic capacity, aerobic capacity, muscular strength, body composition, muscular endurance, flexibility
Muscular power
The ability to exert a force rapidly over a short period of time.
Eg. Shot put
Balance
The ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving
Eg. Parallel bars
Coordination
The ability to use the body’s sense to execute motor skills smoothly.
Eg. Tennis serve
Reaction time
The time from the presentation of a stimulus to the onset of a response.
Eg. Wicket keeper catch in cricket
Speed
How fast you can move your body from one point to another.
Eg. Long jump run up
Agility
The ability to change positions or directions rapidly while maintaining balance.
Eg. Dodging opponents
Data collection/ activity analysis methods
Direct observation, observation and statistics and digital recording
Direct observation
-definition -positives -negatives -data collection
Basic, short term information on general state of play and performance.
Positives: quick, easy information and data.
Negatives: may miss or forget things that happen.
Data collected: movement patterns, intensity, skill frequencies and muscle groups
Observation and statistics
-definition -positives -negatives -data collection
Watching and writing notes.
P: evidence of written data, have something to refer to, specific feedback.
N: may miss something when writing notes.
DC: movement patterns, intensities, work to rest ratios, muscle groups and skill frequencies.
Digital recording
-definition -positives -negatives -data collection
The use of heart rate monitors, GPS, filming and eye in the sky technology.
P: accurate, doesn’t miss anything.
N: expensive equipment, not very practical.
DC: movement patterns, intensity, work to rest ratios, muscle groups and skill frequency.
Work to rest ratios
ATP-PC: 1:6+
Anaerobic glycolysis: 1:2- 1:5
Aerobic: 1:1 - 1:1.5
Par Q
A questionnaire that informs you if you need to see a doctor before starting physical activity.
Informed consent
Agreement by the performer to continues with testing after being made aware of the risks involved with the test.
Par Q & informed consent
Why??
Minimising the risk of harm to both the performer and test administrator.
Pre and post testing
Important because it can asses the success of a training program.
It can also be a record of progress/improvement for the individual
Fitness components test
Aerobic capacity
Anaerobic capacity
Muscular strength
Aerobic capacity: VO2 Max tests, 20 metre shuttle run
Anaerobic: phosphate recovery test.
Muscular strength: hand grip test, 1RM bench press test.
Fitness components test
Muscular endurance
Flexibility
Body composition
Muscular endurance: timed sit ups/ push ups.
Flexibility: sit and reach test
Body composition: skin folds, BMI
Fitness components test
Muscular power
Speed
Agility
Muscular power: basketball throw, vertical jump.
Speed: 35m or 50m sprint tests
Agility: SEMO agility test and Illinois agility test
Fitness components test
Coordination
Balance
Reaction time
Coordination: alternate hand wall toss test.
Balance: standing balance test.
Reaction time: ruler drop test
Lab test
Pros and cons
Reserved for elite performers where fitness testing accuracy is paramount
Pro: accurate, good facilities and equipment, run by professionals
Con: very expensive, mainly for elite performers
Field tests
Pros and cons
Can be functional and accurate as long as protocols are followed.
Pro: functional, accurate, serval people can be tested at once, cheap and easy.
Con: can be effects by environment.
