6
Q

Efficiency of ATP/PC production

A

The supply of ATP is very limited if the demand is high as a result of sustained, maximal or near maximal work. This system is for short explosive movements

E.g. Weightlifting

Q

ATP/PC cause of fatigue

A

CP supplies are exhausted after 10-25 seconds

Cause of fatigue is maximal or near maximal effort, the inability to resynthesize

Q

ATPC/PC rate of recovery

A

Recovers quickly from exercise
Within 2min, most ATP and CP supplies have been fully restored
CP replenishment occurs within 30sec of rest recovery

9
Q

Lactic acid system

A

Following 10-12 secs maximal exercise, CP supplies are exhausted

The body needs to find new fuel and does this by using immediate sugar supplies circulating the blood
(Blood sugar)

Q

Duration of lactic system

A

Maximal effort caused fatigue I’m 30secs

An effort of 70-80% will not cause exhaustion for 3-4 min and much longer for moderate intensity

Q

Lactic acid system rate of recovery

A

In the liver lactic acid is reconverted to glycogen and can once again be used as a source of fuel, this process can take up to 30min to an hour

16
Q

Aerobic system source of fuel

A

The aerobic system can use carbs, glucose, fat and protein

When carbs and glucose become exhausted the body turns to its fat supplies

26
Q

Stroke volume

A

The amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle of the heart during a contraction. It’s is measured in mL/beat

27
Q

Cardiac output

A

The amount of blood (in litres) pumped by the heart per minute

28
Q

Oxygen uptake

A

The ability of the working muscles to use the oxygen being delivered

29
Q

Lung capacity

A

The amount of air the lungs can hold. Measured in ml. It remains the same

30
Q

Haemoglobin

A

The substance in the blood that binds with oxygen to transport it around the body

31
Q

Muscle hypertrophy

A

Is a term that refers to muscle growth together with an increase in the size of muscle cells

32
Q

Fast twitch muscle (white)

A

These cells are better for generating short bursts of of strength or speed. They fatigue quickly

33
Q

Slow twitch muscles (red)

A

Slow twitch fibres contract slowly and release energy gradually required by the body during sustained activity such as jogging, cycling and endurance swimming

34
Q

Motivation

A

Internal state that activates, directs and sustains behaviour towards achieving set goals

35
Q

Positive motivation

A

Positive motivation relies on continual self-reinforcement by others such as a coach, family, friends, spectators and media

36
Q

Negative motivation

A

May be effective for some, usually people get more results from positive motivation

Example - punishing participant for failure

37
Q

Intrinsic motivation

A

Come from within the individual

Examples= meaning, love, curiosity, belonging, learning, mastery

38
Q

Extrinsic motivation

A

Forms of motivation comes from sources outside a person such as a coach or parents, often associated with material reinforcement

Examples = money, competition, points, fear of punishment, badges, rewards

39
Q

Anxiety

A

A pysicalogical process characterised by fear or apprehension in anticipation of confronting a situation perceived to be potentially threatening

40
Q

State anxiety

A

Refers the emotional response of the athlete to a particular situation.
This response may be fear, worry, tension and nervousness

41
Q

Trait anxiety

A

Is the athletes general predisposition to perceive a situation as threatening or non-threatening
This is a personality trait

42
Q

Sources of stress

A

Stress is the non specific response that the body makes to demands placed upon it

43
Q

Stress depends on:

A
Past experience 
Routines 
Support 
Expectations
Pressure
44
Q

Stressors include:

A

Personal pressure, competition pressure, social pressure, physical pressure

A

Expectations of your physical ability

49
Q

Techniques to cope with stress are:

A

Practicing relaxation techniques
Developing concentration skills
Developing confidence
Planning strategies to cope with the situation

50
Q

Optimum arousal

A

The emotional, mental or physiological activation required producing a response in performance

51
Q

Optimum arousal levels vary because of factors such as ..

A
Expectations 
Expectations by others

Q

Psychological strategies to enhance motivation and anxiety

A

Concentration
Mental rehearsal/ visualisation
Relaxation techniques
Goal setting

53
Q

Concentration

A

Sports psychologists generally agree that the key to success among elite sportspeople is concentration is required, or the ability to focus on the task at hand

Relaxation techniques

A

Over arousal will tarnish best efforts, relaxation techniques may assist the athlete in control of arousal

A

The urge to fulfill goals, provides athletes with reason to preservere with training over extended periods

Short term goals
Long term goals
