Q

What is meant by burnout?

A

when too much training or exercise is undertaken then you will be more likely to suffer overuse injuries, especially to musculo-skeletal tissues, as well as mental burnouts.

Q

What is meant by ‘no adaptation’?

A

If too little overload occurs then the body will not adapt to your training so it will be
harder to gain muscle or tone up as you are doing too little.

Q

How does myocardial hypertrophy increase stroke volume?

A

Increases SV- because:

decreased: ESV (lore blood forced out)
increased: EDV (greater stretch of L ventricle)
increased: HR recovery

Q

Name 2 vascular adaptations of aerobic training

A

Increased elasticity of arterial walls
Increased blood volume- RBCs and plasma
Increased capillarisation at lungs

20
Q

Name 5 muscular system adaptations of aerobic training

A 
Increased:
Number of type I SO fibres
Type IIa fibres increase aerobic capacity
mitochondria
beta- oxidation
glycogen stores
aerobic enzymes (GPP, PFK, Lipase)
myoglobin
capillarisation at muscle
21
Q

Name 3 physiological health benefits from aerobic training

A

Increased lactate threshold
Delayed OBLA
Increased aerobic metabolism
Increased VO2max

22
Q

Aerobic training improves the strength of connective tissues. Give 2 ways that this could impact of this on performance

A

More efficient muscle contraction
Greater joint stability
Decreased injury risk

23
Q

Define VO2max

A

VO2max- The maximum volume of oxygen taken in AND consumed by the body in one minute.

24
Q

List the 8 factors that affect VO2max

A 
Physiology
Lifestyle
Gender
Body Composition
Genetics
Training
Age
Environment
25
Q

How is VO2max related to OBLA?

A

OBLA is a percentage of VO2max. If you have a higher VO2 max, this means that there is a greater delay in lactic acid build-up. As VO2max increases, so does OBLA. Trained athletes can exercise for longer periods at a higher intensity compared to an untrained athlete therefore showing that the lactate threshold has a much higher percentage of VO2max in a trained athlete

26
Q

What is the definition of static strength?

A

Force exerted by the neuro-muscular system while the muscle remains static.

27
Q

Maximum strength is…

A

Max force that the neuro-muscular system can exert in a single voluntary contraction.

28
Q

What is the system which controls muscular contractions?

A

Neuro-muscular system.

29
Q

Rank the types of strength based on contractile speed/rate of contraction. Slow to fast…

A
  1. Static
  2. Maximum
  3. Endurance
  4. Dynamic
  5. Elastic/Explosive
30
Q

State what elastic strength is and what term/word is synonymous to it. Plus an example.

A

Elastic strength is the ability to expend a maximal amount of energy in high intensity movements (one or a series).
Power or explosiveness.

31
Q

Define strength endurance and give a sporting example.

A

Ability to sustain repeated muscle contractions.

e.g Marathon runner, rower, road cyclist, triathlete…

32
Q

Dynamic strength is…

A

The ability of the NM system to overcome resistance with a high speed of contraction.

33
Q

Strength endurance is lower in intensity and contractile speed than Dynamic strength. True or False.

A

True

34
Q

Explain why a rugby scrum is and isn’t a good example of static strength.

A

During the primary stationary stage when the players are not moving and taking the strain it can be applied where the shoulder muscles are isometrically contracing. However, once they start pumping their legs to move forwards, the legs are contracting isotonically and it is not static strength, it is more dynamic.

35
Q

Name the 6 factors affecting strength.

A 
Muscle composition
Gender
Age
Physical inactivity
Strength training
Weakest point in range of movement
36
Q

What is the male hormone which makes males generally stronger than females.

A

Testosterone.

37
Q

What is the difference between muscle hypertrophy and atrophy…

A

Hypertrophy is a training adaptation where muscle size and cross-sectional area increases. Atrophy is the result of inactivity which may be due to lifestyle or injury. The muscle becomes ‘less full’ and there will be a visible decrease in size.

38
Q

Each lever system in the body has a particular weak point. True or False.

A

True. It is often at the point where the joint is flexed to a high angle or is closed.

39
Q

The 1 rep max test is a test for what type of strength…

A

Max strength

40
Q

What test/tests are often used to test static strength but are more suited for testing fatigue resistance.

A

Wall sit

Upper-arm hang

41
Q

The NCF abdominal conditioning test is a test for what type of strength.

A

Strength endurance.

42
Q

What is the test for elastic/explosive strength?

A

Vertical jump test.

43
Q

What is the difference between reps and sets?

A

Reps is the number of repeated exercises.

Sets is the number of reps including a recovery period.

44
Q

Free weights and the Multi-Gym are examples of which type of strength training?

A

Resistance

45
Q

Resistance is a percentage of…

A

A performers 1 rep max.

46
Q

What is a super set?

A

Where weights are lifted and alternated with the antagonistic muscle pair.
