1
Q

What is newtons 1st law

A

Law of inertia, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force

Q

What is newtons 2nd law

A

F = ma (Force = Mass X Acceleration), states that acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass meaning if you know the mass and acceleration of an object you can calculate the force and visa versa

Q

What is a second class lever?

A

In a second class lever, the resistance is between the force and the axis, an example is standing on tiptoes, the toes are the axis, the downwards resistance is the body weight and the upwards force is applied by the calf muscles.

Q

What is a third class lever?

A

Third class levers are when the force is in-between the resistance and the axis, these are very common in the body almost every time you swing or throw something in your hand.

Q

What is the definition of inertia

A

Is the tendency for an object to resist a change in its state of motion, both when it is at rest and in motion. Inertia is directly related to mass, a larger mass will result in a greater inertia.

Q

What is conservation of momentum?

A

Refers to how momentum is conserved in a collision, the total net momentum before a collision is equal to the total net momentum after the collision

Q

What is summation of momentum

A

Refers to an object being released or struck with maximum velocity, when the aim is to hit or throw the object as far as possible, momentum is generated through the body sequentially starting with body parts closest to the centre of gravity

Q

What is Newton’s first law of angular motion?

A

States that the angular momentum of an object will remain constant unless acted upon by an external torque, torque is simply a rotational force applied NOT through the centre of gravity (think of it as a twist)

Q

What is Newton’s second law of angular motion?

A

States that a torque applied to an object will cause a change in the angular motion of the object that is proportional to the size of the torque, and inversely proportional to the moment of inertia that the object has.

20
Q

What is the moment of inertia?

A

The tendency of an object to resist changes to its rotation, mass X radius2

21
Q

What is torque

A

A torque is simply a rotational force (think of it as a twist)

22
Q

What is Newton’s third law of angular motion?

A

States that for every torque, there is an equal and opposite torque

23
Q

What is angular motion?

A

The amount of angular motion that an object has is defined as angular momentum, moment of inertia X angular velocity

24
Q

Why do we conduct fitness tests? (Give 2)

A

Generally to establish a baseline which can be compared to post test results to measure improvement. To provide motivation, to predict potential, to identify and individuals strengths/weaknesses, as selection criteria.

25
Q

What are the 2 aims and protocols of fitness testing

A

Validity, does the test actually measure what it claims.
Reliability, does the test produce consistent results that are reliable.

26
Q

How do you ensure reliability in fitness testing?

A

Make sure the tests are conducted at the same time of day, in the same environment, with all of the same external and internal factors

27
Q

What are some Aerobic power fitness tests?

A

VO2 max test, 20m shuttle run test

28
Q

What are some agility fitness tests?

A

SEMO agility test, Illinois agility test

Q

What are some Anaerobic capacity fitness tests?

A

Phosphate recovery test, 300m shuttle run test

30
Q

What are some fitness tests to test body composition?

A

Body mass index, waist circumference

31
Q

What are some fitness tests for flexibility?

A

Sit and reach test, shoulder rotation test

32
Q

What are some fitness tests for Muscular endurance?

A

Timed sit-ups, timed push-ups

Q

What are some fitness tests for speed

A

Sprint test

36
Q

What is aerobic power?

A

The ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory system to supply fuel and oxygen to the muscles, and the ability of the muscles to use the oxygen for physical activity.
