Exercise Physiology 4 Flashcards
Explain the difference between Heath related fitness components & Skill-related fitness components
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.
List all 5 Heath related fitness components
- Cardiorespiratory Endurance
- Muscular Strength
- Muscular Endurance
- Flexibility
- Body Composition
List all 6 Skill-related fitness components
- Speed
- Balance
- Agility
- Reaction Time
- Coordination
- Power
Explain what Cardiorespiratory Endurance is?
The ability of the cardiovascular (heart, lungs & blood vessels) & respiratory system to produce aerobic energy/ATP
Explain what Muscular Strength is?
The maximal force that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group in one maximal effort (1 RM)
Explain what Muscular Endurance is?
The ability of the muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions (concentric, eccentric or isokinetic) for an extended period of time, or to maintain a contraction for an extended period
of time (isometric contraction) in the face of fatigue
Explain what Flexibility is?
Flexibility is the range of motion (ROM) around a joint.
What’s the difference between Static & Dynamic Flexibility/flexibility?
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
Explain what Body Composition is?
The term used to describe the different
components that, when taken together, make up a person’s body weight
Explain what Muscular Power is?
The ability to exert a maximal contraction quickly or in one explosive effort (often mixed up with strength)
Explain what Coordination is?
Refers to the skillful and effective interaction of movements. It is the ability to use the body’s senses to execute motor skills smoothly & accurately
Explain what Balance is?
Maintaining equilibrium while stationary or moving
Explain the difference between Dynamic & Static equilibrium?
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
Explain what Agility is?
The ability to change body position or direction quickly and accurately while maintaining balance
Explain what Speed is?
- The rate of motion (how fast you can move your body part from one point to another)
Explain what Reaction Time is?
The time from the presentation of a stimulus to the onset of a response
What is Response Time?
the time taken from the presentation of a stimulus to the completion of the movement
What is Movement Time?
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
List all 6 the Training Principles
- Specificity
- Progressive Overload
- Frequency
- Intensity
- Duration
- Reversibility
