Components of Fitness & Types of Training Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory
endurance
to
supply fuel during sustained physical activity, and to
eliminate fatigue
(cardio for long period of time)
Muscular strength
the maximal amount of resistance
or force that can be sustained in one single effort
(power all together quickly)
Muscular
endurance
amount of external force that a
muscle can exert over an extended period of time
(holding weight for as long as possible)
Flexibility
Flexibility is either static
(stationary) or dynamic (moving)
(and well yh flexibility)
Coordination
the ability for the body’s senses, the nervous
system & muscles to work together so that specific
movements can be performed smoothly & accurately
(tennis hand eye cordination)
Reaction time
Time it takes for the body to react to stimuli.
Power
Power is the amount of work done or energy transferred per
unit of time.
Speed
Speed relates to the ability to perform a movement within a
short time period.
Agility
Agility is the ability to rapidly change the position of the entire body in space with speed & accuracy.
Balance
Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium while static (stationary) or dynamic (moving).
Continuous
Continuous exercise for minimum of 20 minutes. (cardiorespiratory endurance & muscular endurance).
Sports-specific
This type of training works on improving base skill level. This
could involve individual or small group training with the
equipment required for that specific sport (eg. Basketball &
hoop).
Fartlek
This is a type of continuous training that includes bursts of
speed so that relevant energy systems are worked. Therefore
cardiorespiratory
endurance, muscular endurance & speed are all developed.
Resistance
Depending on use in a programme this type of training can develop muscular strength, power & endurance.
Circuit
Training that uses a variety of equipment & training methods.
Can be adaptable to team games individual fitness levels.
Built-in rest periods for recovery whilst working
