Q

Explain the difference between Heath related fitness components & Skill-related fitness components

A

Heath related fitness components are closely associated with health and fitness and are more important to health than to sporting ability while Skill-related fitness components are often referred to as athletic ability or performance components and are more important to improved performance in sport & physical activity.

Q

What’s the difference between Static & Dynamic Flexibility/flexibility?

A

Static is when a joints range of motion under
stationary conditions, while Dynamic referred when a joint is moved through a large range of motion. Someone with good dynamic flexibility will be able to move the joint through its full range of motion quickly & easily

Q

Explain the difference between Dynamic & Static equilibrium?

A

Static, refers to activities where balance is maintained while the body is stationary, while Dynamic refers to maintaining balance while moving. E.g. include cycling, gymnastics or surfing & these activities require more effort to maintain body balance

Q

What is Movement Time?

A

the time taken from the initiation of the
movement to the completion of the movement. It is the time the performer takes to physically complete the movement when the muscular system has received the message from the brain via the
effector system

20
Q

List 4 major types of flexibility training & describe each?

A
  • Static Stretching performed without movement)
  • Dynamic Stretching performed with movement)
  • Ballistic Stretching performed with explosive movement)
  • Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Advanced form of flexibility training involving the contraction and stretching of specific muscle groups
21
Q

What is Isokinetic resistance training?

A

An isokinetic force results in a change in muscle length against a varying load so that the resistance changes throughout the muscle’s range of movement

22
Q

What is Isometric resistance training?

A

Type of strength training where the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction

23
Q

What is Isotonic weight training?

A

Muscle changes length working against a constant load

24
Q

True Or False: In eccentric isotonic weight training the muscle shortens during contraction?

A

False

25
Q

Generically what is the %1RM for Power?

A

30-60%

26
Q

Generically what is the %1RM for Strength?

A

70-100%

27
Q

Generically what is the %1RM for Endurance?

A

40-50%

28
Q

Generically what is the %1RM for Hypertrophy?

A

65-75%

29
Q

List at least 4 benefits of interval training?

A

*Any Of the following
– Higher intensities can be maintained for the work phase of the program, enhancing the quality of the session
– Pacing can be developed
– Specific energy systems can be targeted
– Lactate tolerance (medium-interval), which is crucial in many sporting pursuits, can be developed
– Interval sessions can be specific to the game, with similar work-to-rest ratios
– Sessions are highly structured, which enables

30
Q

Explain the difference between Fixed Time Circuit Training & Fixed Loaded Circuit Training?

A

Fixed Time Circuit Training is the performer completes as many repetitions of the exercise in the allocated time, while Fixed Loaded Circuit Training is The number of repetitions to be performed at each station is pre-determined

40
Q

Define Duration?

A

The length of training time

41
Q

“the loss of physiological performance (detraining) occurs as a result of a person
terminating or scaling back a regular training program”

A

Reversibility

42
Q

functional capacity
– Forms the foundation for the development
of speed, power & agility

43
Q

Describe 3 skill-related fitness components & explain how each of them might help a athlete in their desired sport?

- Cardiorespiratory Endurance = Beep Test
- Muscular Strength = Plank Prone Hold
- Muscular Endurance = Beep Test
- Flexibility = Sit & Reach
- Body Composition = BMI Index

45
Q

Describe 3 training methods & outline how it can improve a component of fitness?

A

Resistance Training is when there is a resistance to the muscles, this can improve muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular power.
Continuous Training is working at the same pace for a an extended period of time, this can improve muscular endurance or aerobic capabilities.
Fartlek is a variation of continuous training & interval training involving regular changes of pace this can improve

46
