Lecture 3 Different sport and exercise science sub-disciplines Flashcards
Describe clinical exercise physiology role
Provide individual exercise programs for those at high risk of developing or with existing chronic conditions
Examples(Clinical Physiology) Chronic diseases
Hypertension Heart disease Diabetes Injuries Others
Describe exercise physiology
Generally employed with:
State-based sporting institutes
National sporting Organisation
Professional sporting organisations
Describe clinical exercise physiology
Generally employed:
Clinical setting
Describe Exercise physiology role
Physiology demands and characteristics necessary for success in specific sports
How an athlete performs in tests that accurately measure these characteristics
Advising coaches and athletes about training and competition based on physiological data
Monitoring physiological stress and prescribing recovery
Describe Biomechanics
Study of kinetics and kinematics associated with human movement and performance
Describe biomechanics role
Technique analysis
Injury mechanisms assessment
Understanding mechanical loads associated with sports
Describe strength and conditioning
Targeted physical preparation of athletes for their specific sport
- Resistance training
- Energy systems conditioning
Describe strength and conditioning role
Developing physical qualities necessary for sporting success
Preventing injury(Prehab)
Optimising recovery from training/competition
Rehabilitating injured athletes
Describe Motor control and learning
Knowledge about motor control gained indirectly through observed behavior
Describe sport and exercise physiology
Two different types
Exercise physiology
- focused on positive health outcomes
Sport Psyolgocy
-focused on positive performance outcomes
Describe sports nutrition/dietetics
Study of how nutritional strategies can
Optimise the health of athletes
Enhance /limit performance for athletes
Alter body composition of athletes
Describe sport nutrition/dietetics role
Focus on:
Implementing Specialised dietary advice/plans
Recommending supplements specific to aims of athlete
Additional athlete support
Performance analysts Coaches Doctors Physiotherapist Massage therapist High performance managers
