Fitness Components Flashcards
Agility
the ability to rapidly and accurately change the velocity or direction of the body in response to stimuli
Aerobic Power
The maximum rate of energy production from the aerobic energy system (i.e. energy produced in the presence of oxygen)
Anaerobic Capacity
The total amount of energy obtainable from the anaerobic energy systems (the combined capacity of the ATP-PC system and anaerobic glycolysis system)
Balance
The ability to maintain equilibrium when stationary or moving
Body Composition
is defined as the percentage of fat, muscle, and bone in the body
Coordination
the ability to carry out a harmonious series of movements or motor tasks smoothly and efficiently
Flexibility
is defined as the ability to move joints or muscles through their full-range of motion
Muscular Endurance
he ability of a muscle or muscle group to do repeated contractions against a less than maximum resistance for an extended period of time.
Muscular Power
Is the ability to contract muscles with speed and force in one explosive act
Musuclar Strength
The maximum amount of force that a muscle can exert against some form of resistance in a single effort
Reaction Time
Is the ability to response to a stimulus quickly.
It is the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the commencement of movement
Speed
is a measure of the ability to move all or part of the body as quickly as possible
Size of Heart
One Factor that influence Aerobic Power
Size of Heart:
An aerobically trained athlete will have a larger left ventricle and increased stroke volume
Blood Volume
One Factor that Influences Aerobic Power
Aerobic training increase blood volume
Decison-making
One Factor that influences Agility
Decision-making is important due to being able to read the play, recognise cues and make quick decisions will enhance agility
