Intro Flashcards
The ability to produce maximal force
STRENGTH
Mechanical laws relating to the movement/structure of a living etc
BIOMECHAINCS
Energy conservation associated with efficient task performance in a given sport
SPORT ECONOMY
The ability of a joint to move through the full range of motion
FLEXIBILITY
The accurate performance of a sport-specific movement involving rapid change of direction or velocity in reaction to analysis of the environment
AGILITY
Rate of work performed expressed as (forceXdistance) /time
POWER
PRCF. FUNCTION
- POWER
- SPEED
- AGILITY
- QUICKNESS
- BALANCE
- COORDINATION
The property of a body to resist displacement; a factor of internal forces that attempt to maintain or restore the original condition or position.
STABILITY
An increase in muscle cell size of circumference
HYPERTROPHY
What are the Universal attributes of an elite athlete?
-Neuromuscular Efficiency
_
The biliary of an individual to sustain a continual muscular exertion over a given period time
ANAEROBIC ENDURANCE
Highest rate at which o2 can be taken up and utilized
VO2MAX
Functional system that controls contraction activity; composed of a nerve cell, or alpha motor neuron, and all the muscle fibers it innervates
MOTOR UNIT
Quality that denotes being able to accelerate to a high velocity in a short period of time in a given direction or through a member of movements.
QUICKNESS
A stable state of characterized by the cancellation of all forces by equal and opposing forces.
BALANCE
The”intelligence” of muscles and their ability to communicate efficiently with central processing for harmonious adjustment or interaction of parts
- is likely one the most difficult performance components to develop.
COORDINATION
Body proportion used for classification and/or comparison
>Brock Lesner for example is an undeniably imposing specimen but when he tried out for the NFL he didn’t make the team and was released during tryouts.
The comparison would be Brock the wrestler and Brock the Football player.
Anthropometric measures
Relating to stimuli that are produced and perceived within the body, especially those associated with the position and movement of the body.
PROPRIOCEPTIVE PATHWAYS
Property of a tissue to become permanently deformed or altered
Plasticity
Constitutes the supporting contact area of an object.
BASE OF SUPPORT
The response rate from perception to action: including all info processing from the environment to the subsequent physiological response
Reaction time
State of balance between continuing actions; force sums do not equal zero, but are close enough to maintain necessary and stability.
- is needed for adequate energy transfer across a moving object as seen during a fade away jump shot, lateral “juke” move by a running back, or agile slashing with the ball in soccer.
Dynamic Equilibrium
Point where the mass of an object is equally balance (aka Center of Gravity)
Center of mass
Property of.
Stability
