25
How will increase production of synovial fluid benefit the performer?
reduced friction in joints smoother movements
26
How will release of adrenaline benefit the performer?
adrenal glands produce adrenaline stimulates sympathetic nervous system to speed up heart rate
27
Why should a cool-down be used?
repay oxygen-debt reduce effect of DOMS increase venous return decrease chance of cramps flush out lactic acid
28
What are the principles of training?
Specificity Progressive Overload Reversibility Tedium (Recovery)
29
Why is recovery needed?
rest days to ensure body has time to recover, repair and recuperate amount of recovery required depends on level of performer
30
What are the principles of overload?
Frequency Intensity Time Type
31
Why do you need to stress your body lots before a race?
so you recover at a higher intensity strength decreases from start point to then during recovery, exceeding start point
32
Why will work capacity gradually increase over time?
as after exercise, the body will undergo lots of stress, during recovery work capacity will increase so next exercise can be done at higher intensity
33
What is periodisation?
systematic division of training into phases, structured to progressively improve performance whilst minimising injury risk
34
What are the four benefits of periodisation?
elevate athletes performance at predetermined time points maximise specific physiological and performance adaptations reduce risk of overtraining provide a plan for a long-term athlete development
35
what is volume?
the total work done in a cycle/week/session
36
what is intensity?
level of effort or demand placed on an athlete during training
37
what is the macro cycle?
longest, typically lasting a year or more
38
what is the meso cycle?
part of macro (4-12 weeks) gives enough time for physical adaptation to take place will have its own goal/target particular focus on component of fitness
39
what is the micro cycle?
shortest, often lasting between a few days to a week, focussing on daily or weekly fluctuations
40
What is tapering?
tapering within competition phase (volume of training decreases with training intensity increasing) - maximal preparation for competition results in peaking whereby a performer reaches an event in peak physical condition
41
what is the transition period?
final phase of year and involves recovery allows athlete to recharge physically and mentally and ensure injury free start to season transition is reduction in both volume and intensity : recovery whilst maintaining fitness (2-4 weeks)
42
What is tapering in multi sport/ team sport?
training varied to manage fatigue whilst enhancing performance
43
what should be reduced during tapering?
more effective to reduce duration than frequency and intensity should stay relatively high in order to reduce overall load
44
What are the components of fitness?
aerobic endurance anaerobic endurance agility balance cardiovascular endurance flexibility muscular endurance power reaction time maximum strength strength endurance speed
45
what is the definition of aerobic endurance?
the ability of the body to inspire, transport and utilise oxygen to perform sustained periods of physical acitivity
46
What is the definition anaerobic endurance?
the ability to produce sustained maximal power (work per unit time) during all-out, short term physical effort
47
what is the definition of maximum strength?
the ability to produce a maximal amount of force in a single muscular contraction
48
what is the definition of strength endurance
the ability to undergo repeated muscular contractions over a period of time whilst avoiding fatigue
49
what is the definition of flexibility?
the ability of a joint to move through a full and unrestricted range of movement
50
what is the definition of agility?
the ability to change direction at speed under control
51
What is the definition of speed?
the rate at which the body is moved from one place to another
52
What is the preparation period?
general conditioning consists of high volume, low intensity work athletes aim to develop aerobic and muscular endurance, general strength and mobility
53
What is the competition period?
main aim to optimise competition performance levels of fitness and conditioning should be maintained as should the competition specific aspects of training volume decreased and intensity increased
54
What is double periodisation?
some sports require an athlete to peak more the once in season long-distance athlete may want to peak in winter during cross-country and then in summer on track
55
What are the physiological benefits of doing a warm up?
Increases release of synovial fluid - lubricate joints, smoother movements increase blood flow for increased oxygen transportation throughout body - more oxygen to working muscles increase muscle temp for increased flexibility of muscles meaning less likely to tear/pull a muscle allows time for rehearsal of movement so body prepared to perform similar movements in game
56
What is altitude training?
training at more than 2000m above sea level
57
What are the benefits of altitude training?
increases EPO production, due to lower partial pressure of O2 Increases VO2 max increases rbc production increased cappilarisation increased alveoli
58
What are the physiological benefits of altitude training?
more O2 available to higher aerobic intensity rbc = increase transport of O2 increase contractility of muscle as more O2 delay fatigue increase capillarisation - more blood flow to muscles
59
What are the advantages/ disadvantages of altitude training?
improves efficiency of heart altitude sickness, hinder ability to train intensity reduced at first as lower partial pressure of O2
60
What is HIIT training?
very high intensity training with short rest periods
61
What are the physiological adaptations of HIIT training?
increased VO2 max, increased capillarisation, increased mitochondrial density increase lactate threshold
62
What are the drawbacks of using HIIT in a training program?
difficult to do without experience high fatigue as maximal efforts hard to motivate to try 100% effort unless treadmill
63
How is HIIT training effective for a games player?
mimics how games player stresses anaerobic and aerobic energy systems risk of injury and more recovery time may be needed
64
What is SAQ training?
Speed agility quickness quickness: involving reaction time, neuromuscular efficiency, explosiveness being coached correct technique for movements progression exercises to improve motor abilities to do skills faster
65
What are the physiological adaptations of SAQ training?
increased recruitment of motor units improved kinesthesis faster reaction time increased muscle fibre activation (type II) increased power, footspeed
