Fitness components Flashcards
Muscular endurance
Repeated, muscle contractions
Muscular power
produce force quickly
Muscular strength
peak force
Speed
moving from Point A to point B in the fastest possible time
Dynamic flexibility
Joint and muscles through full range of motion
Aerobic power
TResynthesizing ATP with oxygen at the fastest rate.
What is the reaction time
reacting in an outside stimulus in the fastest time
Agility
Change direction quickly whilst maintaining speed and balance
What is the purpose of fitness testing?
1.Determine an athlete strengths and weaknesses of the various fitness components
2.Provides motivation to improve performance
3.provides baseline data to base further performance
4.help determine team positions
What is the purpose of post testing?
Post testing determines if the training program has been successful. Have the fitness components improved as a result of training.
Fitness tests should replicate
1.movement patterns or skills performed in the sport
2.major muscle groups used in the sport
3.fitness components used in the sport
4.energy systems used in the sport
What does FITT stand for
frequency,intensity,time,type
What is frequency
how many times per week to train a fitness components
How many training sessions do you have to train to maintain
2 to maintain 3 to improve
What is intensity
how hard is training
what is the time
how long a training session goes for
what is type
training must be the correct type for the athlete to improve
