fitness components Flashcards
what are the 6 physical components of fitness?
Muscular Endurance Aerobic (Cardiovascular) Endurance Muscular Strength Flexibility Speed Body Composition
what are the 5 skill components of fitness?
Agility Co-ordination Anaerobic Power Balance Reaction Time
what is the Definition of Muscular Endurance?
The ability of the muscular system to work efficiently where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistant load.
What is the definition of Aerobic Endurance?
The ability of cardiorespiratory system to work efficiently supplying the nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity.
What is the definition of Muscular Strength?
The maximum force weighed in kg or N that can b generated by a muscle or muscle group.
What is the definition of Flexibility?
Having an adequate range of motion in all joints of the body, ability to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of movement.
What is the definition of Speed?
Distance divided by the time taken. Speed is measured in meters per second (m/s). The faster an athlete runs over a given distance the greater their speed.
What is the definition of Body Composition?
The relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass (vital organs, bones and muscle) in the body.
What is the definition of Agility?
The ability of a sports performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction without losing balance or time.
What is the definition of balance?
The ability to maintain centre of mass over a base of support.
What is the definition of body Composition?
The smooth flow of movement needed to preform a motor task efficiently and accurately.
What is the definition of Power?
The product of strength and speed expressed as the work done in a unit of time. A strong movement preformed quickly.
What is the definition of reaction time?
The time taken for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and the initiation of their response.
What are the three types of speed?
Accelerative speed (first 30 meters) Pure speed (60 meters) Speed Endurance (sprints with short recovery time)
What are the two types of balance?
Static (headstand-not moving)
Dynamic (Cartwheel-moving slowly with control and strength)
what are the additional principles?
progressive overload specificity individual needs/differences adaptation reversibility
what are the basic principles?
frequency
intensity
time
type
variation
rest and recovery
what does FITT stand for?
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type
what is frequency?
how often an athlete over a period of time (usually a week. 3 times a week?4 times a week?) as the athlete becomes fitter this may increase.
what is intensity?
it is how hard someone trains. whatever type of training it must be carried out a worthwhile of intensity. as he athlete becomes fitter this will increase.
what is time?
how long each training session is to be any benefit. as the athlete becomes fitter this may increase.
what is type?
means the methods of training chosen to achieve a persons particular goals. athletes may wish to improve a component of fitness so they will pick a type of training to achieve is.
what is progressive overload?
gradually increasing the amount of fitness without risk of injury. (increase the overload of fitness)
