Q

pros of attending a high altitude training camp

A
  • Allows athlete to acclimatise to conditions
  • Minimise the impact of decreased partial pressure of oxygen - hypoxic conditions
    Increased release of erythropoietin/ red blood cell production = oxygen transport more efficient
  • Helps to stabilise breathing rate and ventilation after acclimatisation
  • Oxygen extraction becomes more efficient = leads to lower SV and Q
  • Reduces chances of altitude sickness and chance of breathlessness

47
Q

newtons first law - football

A

The ball will remain in a state of rest until an external force is
applied to it (player kicking the ball)

48
Q

application of N1L to football

A

Ball will not accelerate towards goal until a force acts upon it

Once ball is at a constant velocity it will remain this way until a
force acts upon it - affected by unbalanced/external force

49
Q

newtons second law - football

A

acceleration of the ball towards the goal is dependent on the size of the force applied to it
- how hard the player kicks it

50
Q

application of N2L to football

A

Ball will travel quickly towards goal if player contacts the middle of the ball as force is applied in a forward direction

Player applies curl or spin by kicking the side or bottom of the ball, the momentum of the ball towards goal will be slower -acceleration = slower

51
Q

newtons third law - football

A

When the player plants their foot next to the ball, a downward force is applied.

The ground applies an equal and opposite upward reaction force

52
Q

application of N3L to football

A

If the ball hits the post an equal and opposite reaction force is
applied to the ball and it rebounds back/

If the ball is saved by the goalkeeper, an equal and opposite reaction is applied by the reaction force of the ball rebounding off the goalkeeper

If the player applies a forward force to the ball when kicking it, the ball applies an
equal and opposite downward reaction force to the player’s foot

53
Q

how is topspin created

A

Applies an eccentric force to the ball - applies torque above the centre of the ball

Causes the ball to spin forwards around the transverse axis

Airflow decreases above the ball - Air moves more slowly above the ball

High-pressure above the ball

Increased air flow below the ball - Air moves faster below the ball
Slow moving air below the ball

Low pressure below the ball

Pressure gradient forms

Magnus force = downwards/

Ball has a reduced flight path/non-parabolic flight path

54
Q

factors that affect the magnitude of drag acting on a body moving through water

A

Velocity
Frontal cross-sectional area
Streamlining/Shape/Aerodynamic shape
Smoothness of the surface

55
Q

what is limb kinematics, practical example

A

Limb kinematics is 2D modelling of human movement
motion analysis of movement
video analysis of movement

e.g. mapping knee motion for a sprinter
throwing action for a javelin thrower
joint angles when hurdling

56
Q

what are wind tunnels, practical example

A

Wind tunnels are for measuring aerodynamic properties/air resistance and drag

Measuring the drag of a new design of a road bike
Measuring drag of a F1 car
Measuring air resistance of a ski jumper’s suit

57
Q

what are force plates, practical example

A

Force plates are metal, rectangular plates which measure the size and direction of
forces acting on an athlete
They give immediate graphical readings of forces acting on an athlete

Assess the force produced for a basketball
player in a jumping motion for a rebound
Force produced by a gymnast balancing on one foot
Force produced by a sprinter when their foot hits the floor in their running action

58
Q

why does a hard-hit shuttle cock = non parabolic flight path

A

travels very fast and has a high air resistance bc high velocity causes
high air resistance

has a large relative cross-sectional area so has a high air resistance

has rough surface characteristics so a high air resistance - wood and glue are rough and cause air resistance

not streamlined, so it has a high air resistance

is very light so the air resistance is dominant - low mass means air
resistance is dominant

flight path is shortened because of high air resistance - travels less horizontal
distance = shortened flight path

59
Q

Explain how the ice skater manipulates their body shape to spin on the ice.

A

Bringing arms and legs closer to the longitudinal axis - increases spin rate

Ice skater tucking arms in and bringing legs together reduces their moment of
inertia

Ice skater tucking arms and bringing legs together in increases angular velocity

Tucking arms in and bringing legs together results in an increase amount of rotation

60
Q

regulation of heart rate during exercise

A

Autonomic nervous system determines the firing rate of the SA node
Cardiac control centre receives information from sensory nerves

Three sources of information determine action of CCC
- Neural control/ Chemoreceptors/ Proprioceptors
- Intrinsic control/Temperature change/Venous return changes
- Hormonal control

Chemoreceptors located in muscles/Aorta/Carotid arteries
Proprioceptors located in muscles/Tendons/Joints
Baroreceptors in blood-vessel walls

Hormonal control through release of adrenaline
Hormonal factors are the release of adrenaline – stimulates the SA node

Neural factors are movement, blood pressure and blood chemistry
Baroreceptors detect increases in blood pressure
Chemoreceptors detect decrease in blood pH
Proprioceptors detect movement

Intrinsic factors are thermoreceptors in the heart detecting changes in temperature
Intrinsic factor is venous return changes, which affect stretch of ventricle walls/

Based on action-provided CCC actions either increase or decrease heart rate
Parasympathetic nervous system = reduce HR
Sympathetic nervous system = increase HR

61
Q

Describe the different types of cardiovascular disease that could occur as a result of long-term physical inactivity

A

Atherosclerosis
is the stiffening of artery walls/loss of elasticity
= less blood flow to the vital organs/reduces BP and reduces
flow = hypertension

Coronary heart disease/CHD
results from atheroclerosis of coronary arteries that supply the heart with
oxygenated blood
reduction in blood flow and oxygen limits cardiac muscle ability to respire, which
can result in heart attack

Heart attack
is a result of a blood clot
causes oxygen to be cut off

Stroke
occurs through blockage of cerebral artery
occurs when blood vessel burst within or on surface of the brain
= heamorrhagic stroke occrus when blood vessel bursts within or on the surface of
brain
