EVER LEARNER - predicted paper Flashcards
functions of proteins
Growth of body tissue
Repair of body tissue
Form muscle tissue/Form muscle
Hormone formation
Form enzymes
whys caffeine used as an aid
Increased alertness
Decreased reaction time
Increased fat metabolism
Increases activity of the central nervous system
apply use of caffeine to table tennis player
Increased alertness = anticipate which way the ball is going to travel during a rally
Decreased reaction time = react to a powerful shot and return the ball
Increased fat metabolism = maintain optimum weight/body shape for table
tennis
Increases activity of the central nervous system
activities where high levels of FOG would be beneficial
800m running
200m freestyle
1km cycling
tapering
Maintaining INTENSITY but reducing the VOLUME of training to prepare for
competition
tapering example
A runner will reduce the number of training miles completed by a third per week during the tapering period
stability definition
“the ability of the body to remain in a balanced position”
factors affecting stability
Mass
Height of the centre of mass
Size of base of support
Line of gravity
Points of contact

venous return mechanisms
skeletal muscle pump
gravity
respiratory pump
pocket valves
smooth muscle
venous return mechanisms - skeletal muscle pump
squeezes veins and increases pressure, speeds up flow of blood back to the heart
venous return mechanisms - gravity
forces blood downwards from the upper body
gravity applies weight force to the blood
venous return mechanisms - respiratory muscle pump
uses pressure differences in the thoracic cavity to aid the movement of blood
venous return mechanisms - pocket valves
valves in veins prevent backflow of blood during diastole
keep blood moving in one direction only
venous return mechanism - smooth muscle
around veins pulses to increase pressure in the vein
smooth muscle constricts and dilates squeezing blood back
ATP PC - what does break down of PC =
releases energy
what is energy used to do in the ATP PC system
used to resynthesise ATP
energy + ADP + P = ATP
what type of reaction is used in this energy system - ATP PC
using coupled reactions
what conditions are used during the reactions - ATP PC
reaction takes place without oxygen
what enzyme is used in the ATP PC
creatine kinase
where doe the reactions take place - ATP PC
sarcoplasm
what is the energy yield - ATP PC
1 ATP per PC
1:1 energy yield
when is the ATP PC system used
during high-intensity activity
pros of attending a high altitude training camp
- 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
