CORE 2 SYL TEST Flashcards
Energy systems
- Alactic acid (ATP/PC)
- Lactic Acid system
- Aerobic system
RHS: Energy systems
Analyse each:
- source of fuel
- efficiency
- cause of fatigue
- by-products
- rate of recovery
Types of training and training methods
- Aerobic, e.g. continuous, fartlek, aerobic interval, circuit
- Anaerobic, e.g. aerobic interval
- Flexibility, e.g. static, ballistic, PNF, dynamic
- strength training, e.g. free/fixed weights, elastic, hydraulic
RHS: Types of training and training methods
Assess to sport:
- which types of training are best suited to different sports?
- which training method(s) would be most appropriate? Why?
- how would this training affect performance?
Principles of training
- progressive overload
- specificity
- reversibility
- variety
- training thresholds
- warm up and cool down
RHS: principles of training
Analyse:
How the principles of training can be applied to both aerobic and resistance training
Physiological adaptations in response to training
- resting heart rate
- stroke volume and cardiac output
- oxygen uptake and lung capacity
- haemoglobin level
- muscle hypertrophy
- effect on fast/slow twitch muscle fibres
RHS: Physiological adaptations in response to training
Examine:
Relationship between the principles of training, physiological adaptations and improved performance
Motivation
- positive and negative
- intrinsic and extrinsic
RHS: Motivation
Evaluate:
Performance scenarios to determine the appropriate forms of motivation, e.g. golf versus boxing
Anxiety and arousal
- trait and state anxiety
- source of stress
optimum arousal
RHS: Anxiety and arousal
Explain:
Difference between anxiety and arousal in terms of the affect on performance.
Psychological strategies to enhance motivation and manage anxiety
- concentration/attention skills (focusing)
- mental rehearsal/
visualisation/imagery - relaxation techniques
- goal-setting
RHS: Psychological strategies
Research:
Recovery strategies to discern their main feature and proposal benefits to performance
Nutritional considerations
- Pre (carb load)
- During
- post
RHS: Nutritional considerations
Compare:
Dietary requirements of athletes in different sports considering pre-, during and post-performance needs
Supplementation
- Vitamins/minerals
- Protein
- Caffeine
- Creatine products
RHS: Supplementation
Critically Analyse:
Evidence for and against supplementation for improved performance
Recovery strategies
- physiological strategies e.g. cool down, hydration
- neutral strategies e.g. hydrotherapy, massage
- tissue damage strategies e.g. cryotherapy
- psychological strategies e.g. relaxation
RHS: recovery strategies
Research:
Recovery strategies to discern their main features and proposed benefits to performance.
Strategies of skill acquisition
- Cognitive
- Assosiative
- Autonomous
RHS: strategies of skill acquisition
Examine:
Stages of skill acquisition by participating in the learning of a new skill, e.g. juggling, throwing with the non-dominant arm
Characteristics of the learner
E.g.:
- personality
- heredity
- confidence
- prior experience
- ability
RHS: Characteristics of the learner
Describe:
How the characteristics of the learner can influence skill acquisition and the performance of skills
