Define cardiovascular fitness
The ability to work the entire body for a long time without tiring.
Define muscular endurance
The ability to work voluntary muscles repeatedly without tiring.
Define muscular strength
The amount of force a muscle can exert to overcome a resistance.
Define flexibility
The range of movement possible at a joint.
Define body composition
The % of the body that is muscle, fat and bone.
What are the 6 skill related components of fitness?
Agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, speed.
Define agility
The ability to change direction of the body with control.
Define balance
The ability to maintain the body’s centre of mass above the base of support.
Define coordination
The ability to use 2 or more body parts at once e.g hand-eye coordination.
Define power
Strength x speed.
Define reaction time
The time between the presentation of a stimuli to the onset of movement.
Define speed
How quickly a distance can be covered or an object thrown.
What are the 4 stages of a warm up?
Pulse raiser, stretches (dynamic and static), sports specific drill, mental preparation
What is the purpose of a pulse raiser?
Increases heart rate, muscles get oxygen they need, gets heart close to working rate.
What is the purpose of stretches?
Warm up muscles –> become elastic and prevents muscle injury.
What is the purpose of sports specific drills?
Get a feel for the movement to perform well in the game.
What is the purpose of mental preparation?
Get head in game to perform well in the game.
What is the test for agility?
Illinois agility test
What is the test for balance?
Standing stork test
What is the test for coordination?
Alternate hand wall toss (2m from wall)
What is the test for power?
Vertical jump test (stand sideways to wall)
What is the test for reaction time?
Ruler drop test (30cm ruler)
What is the test for speed?
30 metre sprint test (flying start)
What is the fitness test for cardiovascular fitness?
12 minute copper run or swim
What is the fitness test for muscular strength?
Hand grip dynamometer
What is the test for muscular endurance?
60 second press up or sit up test
What is the test for flexibility?
Sit and reach test (hold for 2s)
What is the test for body composition?
Skin fold callipers (biceps, triceps, suprailiac, subscapular)
What is the purpose of fitness testing?
Fitness testing can be used before training begins, during the training programme and after the training programme to judge success.
Which two methods of training train cardiovascular fitness?
Continuous
Fartlek
What is continuous training?

What are advantages of continuous training?
No equipment
Easy to do for beginners
Can mimic long distance events
What are disadvantages of continuous training?
Boring
Doesn’t improve anaerobic fitness
What is Fartlek training?
Training continuously with no rest but varying speed, incline and terrain.
What are advantages of Fartlek training?
Less boring
No equipment needed
Pace setting skills
Mimics change of pace
Can be modified
What are disadvantages of Fartlek training?
Motivation needed
Hard to measure progress
Requires experience
Which method of training trains muscular endurance and speed?
Interval training
What is interval training?
Periods of intense work followed by periods of rest.
What are advantages of interval training?
Easy to see how hard performer is working
Easy to measure progress and mimic sport movement
No equipment
What are disadvantages of interval training?
Recovery is essential
Self-motivation
Discipline
What method of trading trains muscular strength and endurance?
Weight training
What is weight training?
A form of interval training that uses exercises against a resistance.
What are advantages of weight training?
Adapt to all levels
Target specific muscles
Interesting
What are disadvantages of weight training?
Expensive
Requires spotter
Injury
What method of training trains power?
Plyometric training
What is plyometric training?
High intensity, explosive exercises where the muscle is lengthened and then rapidly shortened.
What are advantages of plyometric training?
No equipment
Short and high intensity
Stimulates movement
What are disadvantages of plyometric training?
Long recovery
Stress on joints
Requires previous strength
What method of trading trains any component of fitness (muscular endurance etc)?
