health and skill related components of fitness Flashcards
Difference between skill and health related fitness components
-Health-related components improve your overall health and are often improved through training
- Skill-related components do not have a direct effect on your health but on your performance and are improved through practice.
what are the health related components of fitness?
- cardiorespiratory endurance
- muscular strength
- muscular endurance
- flexibility
- body composition
how does cardiorespiratory endurance relate to movement efficiency?
- body can work at higher intensities for longer without fatigue
- allows for better form and utilisation of energy
how does muscular strength relate to movement efficiency?
- less effort is needed in order to produce movement/s
- performed at more ease
- less fatigue, correct form, less injuries
how does muscular endurance relate to movement efficiency?
- allows athletes to perfrom movements for an extended period of time with less fatigue
- correct movement can occur (because they’re not fatigue - their not focused on the fact that they’re tired)
- meet the demands of a range of sports
how does flexiblity relate to movement efficiency?
- prevents injuries, improves posture, decreases joint pain, maintains healthy joints and improves balance
- allows movements to be more smooth and effective
- greater range of motion and fluidity
how does body composition relate to movement efficiency?
- lower percentage of fat and higher percentage of mucles means your able to move for longer periods of time at greater speeds
- greater force to mass ratio produces faster movements
- depends on the sport/movement being done
what is cardiorespiratory endurance?
the ability to perform an activity with an elevated heart rate for long periods of time.
what is muscular strength?
the ability to exert force during an activity
what is muscular endurance?
the ability of the muscles to continue to perform an activity without fatigue
what is flexibility?
the range of motion around the joints.
what is body composition?
the amount of body fat, muscle, bone and other tissues which make up the body (ratio).
reasons FOR fitness testing
- monitors progress
- used for sporting selections
- figuring out athlete’s strength/weakness
- what position is best suited for an athlete
- check the effectiveness of the current training routine
- assessing athletes on what they could improve on
reasons AGAINST fitness testing
- isn’t always reliable (athlete not may not be in the best condition)
- testing may not be specific enough to the sport
- pressure to do well (especially if they don’t do well)
- doesn’t assess the athelete properly in gameplay
- location/venue may affect the results
multi-stage beep test
cardiorespiratory endurance
hand-grip strength test
muscular strength
sit up test
muscular endurance
sit and reach test
flexibility
body composition
hip to waist ratio
how does power relate to movement efficiency?
- complete set amounts of work at a faster rate
- advantageous in sports where short fast movements are helpful
how does speed relate to movement efficiency?
- increased speed shows the athlete is moving in the most efficient way
- many sports requires athletes to move as fast as they can
how does agility relate to movement efficiency?
- are able to read and respond to a stimulus quicker
- more precise
- spends their time moving in the most appropriate/efficient way
how does coordination relate to movement efficiency?
- save energy with their movements
- last longer at higher workloads
- increased movement efficiency due to all the necessary systems working together smoothly
how does balance relate to movement efficiency?
- an underlying requirement for all general movements
- allows an individual to stay in control of their body
- direct attention to other aspect of movements
