Less Important

Question 1

Training Principals x5

Answer 1

Progression

Overload

Specificity

Variation

Reversibility

Question 2

Progression

Answer 2

The gradual increase in load and intensity of training, from easy to difficult.

Question 3

Overload

Answer 3

Placing greater rather than previous demands on the energy system being trained.

Question 4

Specificity

Answer 4

Concentration on the development of the primary fitness components required for a particular sport.

Question 5

Variation

Answer 5

Helps maintain the athlete’s interest in the training programme and therefore keeps the athlete motivated.

Question 6

Reversibility

Answer 6

“If you don’t use it, you lose it.”

Question 7

Components of fitness x5

Answer 7

Strength

Power

Speed

Endurance

Flexibility

Question 8

Strength

Answer 8

Ability of body & parts to apply force against resistance
Important for power & speed

Question 9

Power

Answer 9

Rate of work performance.

Comes from combination of optimal combination of strength & speed

Question 10

Speed

Answer 10

Max velocity of muscle contraction in movement of body parts - accelerate & run

Question 11

Endurance

Answer 11

Max work muscles can perform in repeated contractions

Question 12

Flexibility

Answer 12

Range of movement around joint

Depends on bone & point structure and bulk of muscle close to joint

Question 13

The suitability of circuit training for young children

Answer 13

• Circuit training exercises concentrate on the all-round development of the child.
• The young athlete has to focus on the use of personal body weight (this makes it easier for schools/clubs that do not have equipment) and other resistance methods (medicine balls, weights or equipment).
• Exercises completed according to the child’s ability.
• The rate of improvement is determined by the rate of progression.

Question 14

The reason for the modification of rules for children’s sport (mini-sport)

Answer 14

● Children cannot play according to adult rules and nor can they use adult equipment.
● Children’s physical size and proportions are changing constantly and rules need modification.
● Modifications include decreasing the playing area, the goals, the playing times, and smaller teams.
● Changes will increase the level of success/achievements which, in turn, will have a good effect on children’s self-image. This will then encourage them to continue participating in sport.

Question 15

Dealing with epileptic seizure

Answer 15

● No restraints should be applied – let the seizure take its course.
● Environment must be made safe, remove objects.
● Place child in a lateral recovery position.
● Keep the tongue out of way, open air way.
● Allow for free drainage of secretions and vomit.
● Once finished, get tongue out of way. Keep in lateral position.
● Keep patient warm and comfortable, send for medical assistance.

Question 16

Precautions PE teachers have to take to avoid negligence and ensure learners’ safety

Answer 16

● Learners must wear the correct attire.
● Activities should be properly planned.
● Teachers should know first aid.
● Safe and proper equipment should be provided.
● Activities should be closely supervised.

Question 17

3 types of stretching

Answer 17

Ballistic

Static

PNF

Question 18

Ballistic

Answer 18

• should be avoided or treated with extreme caution.
• Involves forcing a joint to adopt a greater joint angle.
• Bouncing is a common type of ballistic stretching.
• Body weight is used to gradually force joint angle to increase.

Question 19

Static

Answer 19

• athlete adopting position on near maximum stretch and holding position for 20 to 30 seconds.
• Following initial stretch, athlete should relax then move into a position of greater stretch for a further 20 to 30 seconds.
• This procedure should be repeated 3 times.
• All the relevant joints must be stretched.

Question 20

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation).

Answer 20

• Voluntarily adopting a position of maximum stretch and then submaximally contracting the stretched muscle.
• By contracting, the stretched muscle and tendon reduce their sensitivity to stretch and subsequently allow the athlete to move into a stretch position greater than the first position.
• This movement should be repeated three times.
