Question 13

fitness test for ME

Answer 13

60 sec press
60 sec sit up
wall sit

Question 14

Body composition

Answer 14

‘the relative percentage of muscles, fat and bone’
- suitable tool for the assessment of a persons state of fitness

Question 15

speed

Answer 15

‘the max HR at which a person is able to move his or her body’
- distance moves per second
- speedy movements stress fast twitch muscle fibres type llx

Question 16

Flexibility

Answer 16

‘the ability to move a joint through its complete rang of movement’
- concerns the stretching of muscles and tissue such as ligaments and tendons around skeletal joints

Question 17

strength

Answer 17

’ the maximum force exerted by a specific muscle or muscle group during a single max muscle contraction - or one repetion max’
- stress fast twitch type llx

Question 18

what is static strength

Answer 18

exerted without a change of muscle length

Question 19

what is dynamic strength

Answer 19

max strength exerted with muscle length changes

Question 20

what is elastic/plyometric strength

Answer 20

ability to apply a large force as possible, eccentric and concentric contractions (plyometric training)

Question 21

aerobic endurance (CVE)

Answer 21

‘the ability to provide and sustain vigorous total body activity aerobically’
- aerobic fitness
- aerobic capacity : efficiency to transport O2 to body
- percentage of slow twitch fibres fibres and mitochondria and myoglobin concentric which may affect stamina

Question 22

What is mitochondria

Answer 22

(power house of cells)
- necessary for creating ATP for energy

Question 23

what is Myoglobin

Answer 23

brings in O2 needed for that process, improving it contributes to muscle oxygen supply, as it transports O2 within the muscle fibres the aerobic capacity of muscles

Question 24

VO2 Max

Answer 24

‘the max rate at which O2 can be used, Max volume of O2 that can be utilised in one min’
- variations (increases in speed and energy)
- size and efficiency of engine
- measure blood locate
- measures HR
- looking at RPE 0-20 rate of Perceived exertion
- painful

Question 25

Muscular endurance

Answer 25

‘the ability of a muscle group to sustain repeated contractions over time sufficient enough to cause muscle fatigue’
- realises on the ability of the body to produce energy under anaerobic and aerobic conditions
- stresses both slow and fast twitch muscle fibres type lla

Question 26

PWC20

Answer 26

• Athletes warm up for 10 mins
• they start cycling
• assistant adjusted load on ergometer to raise athletes HR between 120-140 bpm
• after 6 mins assistant records power output and average HR
• athletes rests 10 mins
• cycles again 6 mins
• ergometer adjusted so athletes HR = 150 -170 bpm

Question 27

Advantages of PWC 170

Answer 27

• minimal equipment needed
• simple to set up and conduct

Question 28

Disadvantages of PWC 170

Answer 28

• specialist equipment required
• assistants required to administer the test
