health and skill related components of fitness

Question 1

Difference between skill and health related fitness components

Answer 1

-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.

Question 2

what are the health related components of fitness?

Answer 2

• cardiorespiratory endurance
• muscular strength
• muscular endurance
• flexibility
• body composition

Question 3

how does cardiorespiratory endurance relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 3

• body can work at higher intensities for longer without fatigue
• allows for better form and utilisation of energy

Question 4

how does muscular strength relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 4

• less effort is needed in order to produce movement/s
• performed at more ease
• less fatigue, correct form, less injuries

Question 5

how does muscular endurance relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 5

• 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

Question 6

how does flexiblity relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 6

• 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

Question 7

how does body composition relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 7

• 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

Question 8

what is cardiorespiratory endurance?

Answer 8

the ability to perform an activity with an elevated heart rate for long periods of time.

Question 9

what is muscular strength?

Answer 9

the ability to exert force during an activity

Question 10

what is muscular endurance?

Answer 10

the ability of the muscles to continue to perform an activity without fatigue

Question 11

what is flexibility?

Answer 11

the range of motion around the joints.

Question 12

what is body composition?

Answer 12

the amount of body fat, muscle, bone and other tissues which make up the body (ratio).

Question 13

reasons FOR fitness testing

Answer 13

• 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

Question 14

reasons AGAINST fitness testing

Answer 14

• 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

Question 20

how does power relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 20

• complete set amounts of work at a faster rate
• advantageous in sports where short fast movements are helpful

Question 21

how does speed relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 21

• increased speed shows the athlete is moving in the most efficient way
• many sports requires athletes to move as fast as they can

Question 22

how does agility relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 22

• are able to read and respond to a stimulus quicker
• more precise
• spends their time moving in the most appropriate/efficient way

Question 23

how does coordination relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 23

• save energy with their movements
• last longer at higher workloads
• increased movement efficiency due to all the necessary systems working together smoothly

Question 24

how does balance relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 24

• an underlying requirement for all general movements
• allows an individual to stay in control of their body
• direct attention to other aspect of movements

Question 25

how does reaction time relate to movement efficiency?

Answer 25

• the faster you are able to react, the quicker your body will be able to react to the stimuli

Question 26

what is power?

Answer 26

the ability to produce force quickly.

Question 27

what is speed?

Answer 27
