fitness testing Flashcards
activity analysis
- enables coaches and performers to make important links bw training and actual perf.
- determines physical requirements of a sport (energy systems , muscle groups and fitness components)
what happens if X activity analysis
- not know spec requirements of the game - training program will not be as specific - waste times on unimportant MG, ES, FC - X improve as much as they could
methods of AA
direct observation and video recording
direct observation
watching someone in person and taking notes
direct obs evaluate
+ immediate feedback - quicker impact on performance and easier to organise (die to decrease in equiptment)
- not as accurate - can be subjective and need expertise
vidwo recording evaluate
+ more accurate as can slow down and replay / store for future analysis
- access to equiptment and time consuming
type of activity analysis
movement patterns
W:R ratio
skill frequency table
HR monitor
movement pattern - describe
charting and recording of on field movements of players in a game - notes on distance , intenisty
what does movement pattern give info about
energy systems
fitness components
MP - if large no of high intensity sprints with adequate recovery , what FC?
CP system - speed and power
what FC if intense repeated efforts with little/ no rest ?
AG system - local muscular endurance
what FC id long continuous efforts w little rest?
aerobic power
lots of changes of direction on MP , what FC?
agility
what does HR indicate
energy system demands
- > 85% = anaerobic efforts
70-85% = aerobic
<70% =low intensity aerobic work
equation for HR
max HR = 220 - age
W:R ratio
amount of time player is active vss resting
- often intermittent sports
- rest= walking and slow jog
- work = sprinting and comp for ball
information from W:R
energy systems
whtat system is a 1:5 W:R ratio
ATP-CP
what system correspond with 1:2 and 1:3 and 1:4
anaerobic glycolysis
what energy system is 2:1 or 1:1
aerobic system
skill frequency info
FC and MG - compile statistics on essential physical actions
SF - lunges and stretches
flexibility
direction changes / dodges - SFT
agility
jumps , sprints SFT - MG??
gluteals , quads , hmastrings etc.
passes / hits SFT - MG??
deltoid , biceps , triceps etc.
balance / dodges
abs / core strength
similarities with muscular strength/ power/endurance
-all require a max force
- closely linked to anaerobic path
-greater the strength greater the power and endurance
difference between muscular E, P , S
strength - one effort –> 1:5
power - quick –>1:5
endurance - repeated –> 1:3
muscular strength
peak force a muscle can produce
eg. 1RM bench press
ATP -CP
fitness tests muscular strength
7 stange abdominal strength test
1RM stest
push pull / grip dynamometer
factors affect strength muscular
- age - peak at 30 increased mm
-sex - increased testosterone - muscle fibre type - greater % fast twitch
- muscle size - increase force generated/ mf recruited
- type of contraction - isometric = greatest force without movement
……………
muscular endurance
ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time
muscular endurance examples
paddling canaoe, cycling ,400m freestyle
fitness test muscular endurance
60 sec push up test
30 sec crunch / situp test
pull up / bar hold
