kicking in Australian Rules Football, dance, gymnastics, and skipping.
62
what is Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) training
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
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.
64
what type of sport is most suited to PNF stretching
sports where the athlete’s joint may be forcefully taken beyond the active ROM.
65
what sports should practice PNF stretching
rugby, Australian Rules Football, Ice-Hockey, and American Football.
66
what is dynamic stretching
when an athlete performs movements that take their joints through their ROM to produce temporal stretches of selected muscles. These movements are continuous and the stretch is not held.
67
whats an example of dynamic stretching
walking lunge
68
what type of sports would use dynamic stretching
all sports
69
what sports is dynamic stretching most suited to as it replicates movements used in performance
soccer, rugby union, martial arts, and netball.
70

71
does strength training use both isometric and isotonic contractions
yes
72
what is weight training
involves lifting a certain weight against gravity to train specific muscles or groups of muscles.
73
what does free weights involve
lifting dumbbells, barbells and sometimes the weight plate
74

positive physiological demands
87
how is progressive overload achieved
by changin intensity, duration or frequency

training effect will decrease
90
how would you apply progressive overload to running (aerobic training)
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
how would you apply progressive to lifting weights (strength training)
