62
Q

what is Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) training

A

stretching involves a static stretch (30 sec), followed by a contraction of the stretched muscle until the stretch is no longer felt (usually around 5-10 sec), then a further lengthening of the muscle to hold another static stretch (10 sec).

63
Q

whats an example of PNF stretching

put your leg up on a chair, stretch your hamstring for 30 sec, perform an isometric contraction by pushing your heel down against the chair until the uncomfortable nature of the stretch is diminished, then further lengthen your hamstring and hold the stretch for another 10 sec.

A

rugby, Australian Rules Football, Ice-Hockey, and American Football.

66
Q

Q

what is weight training

A

involves lifting a certain weight against gravity to train specific muscles or groups of muscles.

73
Q

what does free weights involve

A

lifting dumbbells, barbells and sometimes the weight plate

helps the athlete to learn the correct technique and to experience equal resistance throughout the full range of motion.

76
Q

what sports should use weight training

A

rugby, shot-put, Greco-Roman wrestling, and American football.

77
Q

what is elastic training

A

various forms of elastic to provide the resistance to develop strength. The intensity of this type of training is limited and the resistance increases as the elastic is stretched.

sports that require fast movements through a resistance

83
Q

what sports should use hydraulic training

A

84
Q

what are the 6 principles of training

A

progressive overload
specificity
reversibility
variety
training thresholds
warm up and cool down

85
Q

what is progressive overload

A

gradual increase of intensity or duration of activity

86
Q

what does progressive overload caus

A

positive physiological demands

87
Q

how is progressive overload achieved

A

by changin intensity, duration or frequency

88
Q

what happens if there is too much progressive overload

A

injuries

89
Q

what happens if the progressive overload is too little

A

training effect will decrease

90
Q

how would you apply progressive overload to running (aerobic training)

A

increasing the duration of session

causes: the heart to pump more blood, increasing cardiac output
improve the working muscles ability to take up more oxygen

91
Q

how would you apply progressive to lifting weights (strength training)
