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
