EXAM

Question 1

What Axis and Plane is a sommersault performed at

Answer 1

longitudinal axis ( line from top through to bottom ) and sagittal plane ( Line down middle splits left and right )

Question 2

Lever of the downwards phase of a press up

Answer 2

Class 3 Lever. Load___________Effort_____________
Fulcrum
Body weight is load
Tricep is the effort
elbow joint is the fulcrum

Question 3

Flexibility

Answer 3

The range of movement at a joint

Question 4

Static Strength

Answer 4

The ability of your up muscles to exert force without changing length or position ( like a plank )

Question 5

Multi Stage fitness test ( bleep test )

Answer 5

20 metres apart cones
Run from end to end before the beep sounds
Beep sounds gradually quicker
divided into stages each stage has a set number of runs
if you fail to reach beep you lose a an attempt ( you have 3 )
tests cardiovascular endurance

Question 6

Plyometrics training

Answer 6

Eccentric ( tension and lengthening muscle acts as a brake )
followed by a concentric contraction ( tension, shortening )
increases power
elastic strength
explosiveness
box jumps
medicine ball throws

Question 7

Interval training

Answer 7

High intensity then low intensity intervals
One work one rest
good for speed and strength
Rest = walking/stretching
Anaerobic = 90-100% intensity 5-10 repetitions, longer rest, shorter work
Aerobic = 70-80% intensity longer work shorter rear

Question 8

Specificity

Answer 8

Training to match your individual sporting requirements ( football - passing - shooting )
( sprinter - speed ) ( marathon runner - aerobic training )

Question 9

Progressive Overload

Answer 9

Gradually increasing the amount of work done to improve fitness without risk of injury
body working harder than normal
to be done gradually
Example 5kg curl then 6kg then 7kg
Body responds by adapting ( increasing muscle size or flexibility )

Question 10

What is Muscular Endurance?

Answer 10

Ability of a muscle or muscle group to undergo repeated contractions, avoiding fatigue.

Question 11

What is Power in terms of strength?

Answer 11

The product of strength and speed.

Power = Strength x Speed.

Question 12

What is Static Strength?

Answer 12

The maximum force that can be applied to an immovable object, with muscle length staying the same.

Question 13

What is Speed?

Answer 13

The maximum rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time.

Question 14

What is Cardiovascular Endurance?

Answer 14
