Q

What happens to the muscles in plyometric training? (7)

A

Eccentric muscle contraction happens first
Followed by concentric contraction
Stretch reflex activated
Detected by muscle spindles
Sends nerve impulse to spinal cord
Elastic energy stored
Protects over stretching of muscles and avoids injury

Q

Altitude training involves (6)

A

Training at more than 8000feet above sea level
Usually for at least a month
Three phases
Partial pressure of oxygen is low
Body produces erythropoietin
Higher EPO levels

Q

Advantages of altitude training (3)

A
  1. Boosts aerobic power/VO2 max
  2. Increases concentration of haemoglobin which increases capacity of carrying oxygen
  3. Increased myoglobin in muscle cells allows more oxygen to be stored and transported to mitochondria

Q

Disadvantages of altitude training (4)

A
  1. Altitude sickness stops athlete from training
  2. Training same intensity as at sea level is difficult so loss of fitness may occur
  3. Home-sick
  4. Expensive

Q

Continuous training disadvantages (2)

A
  1. Boring as involves repetition over prolonged period
  2. Doesn’t improve anaerobic fitness so isn’t for team games which involve bursts of speed

Q

Fartlek training disadvantage

A

Easy to overdo

17
Q

Interval training

A

Intervals of high-intensity work are followed with recovery periods

18
Q

Interval training advantages (2)

A
  1. Versatile
  2. Enhance individuals speed and power components
19
Q

Interval training disadvantage

A

Increase chance of injury

20
Q

Circuit training

A

A series of exercises at a set of stations

21
Q

Circuit training advantages (4)

A
  1. Improves muscular endurance
  2. Improves heart health
  3. Time efficient
  4. Improves strength
22
Q

Circuit training disadvantages (3)

A
  1. Needs specialist equipment
  2. Require space
  3. Tiring
23
Q

Weight training

A

A series of resistance exercises

24
Q

Weight training advantages (3)

A
  1. Increased muscle size
  2. Reduced body fat
  3. Improves cardiovascular
25
Q

Weight training disadvantages (2)

A
  1. Risk of injury
  2. Imbalanced muscle development
26
Q

PNF stretching

A

Stretching technique utilized to improve muscle elasticity

27
Q

PNF training involves (4)

A

Proprioceptors - muscle spindles and GTO

Muscle spindles detect muscle over-stretch and produces stretch reflex of required

Stretch reflex only occurs during passive stretching phase of PNF

GTO activated by increased tension in muscle and can override the stretch reflex KNOWN AS AUTOGENIC INHIBITION which occurs as result of isometric contraction in PNF

28
Q

PNF stretching advantages (2)

A
  1. Increased neuromuscular efficiency
  2. Increases flexibility
29
Q

PNF stretching disadvantages (2)

A
  1. Requires a partner
  2. Risk of lack in communication leading to injury
30
Q

Principles of SAQ (2)

A
  1. Involves being coached correct techniques for movements
  2. Involves progression exercises to improve motor abilities to do skills faster speeds/more accuracy
31
Q

Benefits of SAQ (4)

A
  1. Increased muscular power
  2. Improved kinaesthetic/spatial awareness
  3. Improved motor skills/techniques
  4. Improved reaction times
