Q

STSS

A

short term sensory storage = has the ability to receive much information but will retain it for a very brief time (1 second)

47
Q

STM

A

= information from STSS is filtered via selective attention and what passes is usually what’s most relevant to the performer

48
Q

LTM

A

= long term memory exists for information which has been repeated or rehearsed. its the permanent storage area.

eg. riding a bike

49
Q

factors affect STM

A 
relevance and meaningfulness 
interference (distractions)
overloading 
chunking and coding
rehearsal and practise
50
Q

overloading

A

STM is limited to 5-9 items of information and only be retained for 60 seconds. any number over this means that information may not be retained and lost due to overloading

51
Q

chunking and coding

A

chunking (putting single pieces of data together into groups). chunking is the process of organizing objects into meaningful wholes. the use of chunking increases the number of items we are able to remember

52
Q

relevance and meaningfulness

A
  • you will find it easier to remember information if it is relevant to what you are attempting to achieve. you can transfer information to STM if the information is relevant
  • specific instructions
53
Q

rehearsal and practise

A
  • you must rehearse information for it to be transferred into STM. it is vital that the rehearsal occurs asap
  • do different practices, helps to get into STM
54
Q

interference

A
  • ‘noise’ can interfere with your ability to concentrate on sensory information and transfer it to STM
  • crowd, other player, dance routine when music cuts out
55
Q

influence of selective attention on STM

A
  • if we selectively attend to what is most relevant to the situation if the information is processed it will go to STM whilst the things that aren’t relevant will be lost. Items of information will only remain if we are giving them attention
56
Q

muscle memory

A

LTM

- muscle memory is the ability to perform a skill without conscious effort. this is usually due to repetition of a skill

57
Q

mains roles of feedback

A

motivate = receiving information can play a strong motivating role for performers. KR & KP makes the task seem more interesting, keeps the learner alert

reinforcement = feedback ca reinforce efficient motor programs and schema. KR will reinforce to the learner that the movement they have developed is working efficiently

instructing = feedback specifically instructs the learner about aspects of movement which need changing during movement

inform and improve = feedback provided to assist players to improve future performance

58
Q

sources of feedback

A

Intrinsic/Internal = - sensory feedback. this sensory information arises as a natural consequence of producing a movement
- it is information that comes from the senses both during and after movement pattern

Extrinsic (augmented/ external) = information provided to the learner from an outside source
- extrinsic feedback provides information about the outcome of the movement

  • feedback from other people such as coaches, team members
59
Q

KR

A
  • knowledge of results is the feedback which provides information about the outcome of a performance. usually from external sources eg coach
    eg. the ball landed 250 meter down the fairway
60
Q

KP

A
  • knowledge of performance indicates the technical correctness or quality of the movement. thus it is the information about the movement patter and/or sub-routine that the athlete has performed either correctly or incorrectly
  • gold = good swing, your hands folded nicely
61
Q

Timing of feedback

A

Continuous = feedback that is provided from many sources during the execution of the skill

Terminal =this is feedback that is provided after a skill has been performed

62
Q

flexion & extension

A

flexion = flexion is a bending movement which brings bones closer together
eg. when the elbow flexes it brings the ulna & radius closer to the humerus

extension = the movement of the joint resulting in an increase in angle between two bones
eg. by extending the arm away from the midline its increasing the angle

63
Q

abduction - adduction

A

abduction = movement away from the midline
eg. movement of the femur lateral from the midline

adduction = movement towards the midline
eg. movement of the femur towards the midline

  • skill phases = break the skill into meaningful phases
83
Q

energy

A
  • energy can be defined as the capacity or ability to perform
  • all energy for body functions comes from the breakdown of ATP (adenosine trisphosphate)
84
Q

role of ATP

A

(adenosine trisphosphate)
- ATP is a chemical that serves as an immediate source of energy

  • it is made up of adenosine and three phosphates
  • the phosphates are linked together by high energy bonds
85
Q

ATP splitting

A

the high energy bonds contain energy which causes the ATP to split to ADP and is known as ATP splitting
- the energy cause the muscle to contract

86
Q

energy sources that replenish ATP

A

ATP-PC system/ ATP- CP, Phosphagen system

lactic acid system, Anaerobic glycolysis

Aerobic system/ Oxygen system, Aerobic glycolysis

87
Q

ATP storage

A
  • stored ATP already present in the muscles can power contractions for 2 seconds
  • thus our muscles can only store limited ATP, ATP splits to release energy and then process is reversed to generate new ATP which is ATP resynthesise
88
Q

Creatine Phosphate - PC, CP, PCr system

  • what reaction
  • food fuels
A
  • Creatine Phosphate is a molecule similar to ATP in that it is a chemical that splits releasing energy
  • the energy is used for the reaction: ADP + P =ATP
  • the food fuels are
    carbohydrates
    fats
    protein
89
Q

carbohydrates
- two types
food sources
- what happens to carbs in the body

A
  • the primary source of ATP
  • Complex carbs = starches, low GI ( bread, grains, pasta)
  • simple carbs = High GI (lollies, potatoes, fizzy, white bread)

when carbs are digested they are converted to glucose for blood transport and then stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver.

90
Q

fats

  • what happens in the body
  • food sources
A
  • fats are the major source for long endurance activities
  • fats are broken down to fatty acids, which circulate in the blood and triglycerides which are found in the muscles or liver stored in the adipose tissue.
  • nuts, meats, oils
91
Q

proteins

A
  • protein contains amino acids which are important for growth and repair, only minimally contribute to ATP production
  • when the body has severely depleted stores of carbs and fats amino acids can be used to provide energy
92
Q

ATP-PC system/ Phosphagen system

A
  • once ATP stores are depleted we begin to produce ATP by splitting the chemical fuel phosphocreatine.
  • thus: PCr + P +Cr - ADP + Pi = ATP
  • 8-10 seconds of ATP production, at a very rapid rate. It is used at the start of sub maximal exercise and during very short, intense exercise efforts of high intensity such as sprints, throws and jumps that take less than ten seconds.​
93
Q

Lactic acid system / Anaerobic glycolysis system

A
  • this system allows ATP to be reformed using the muscles glycogen stores
94
Q

Aerobic system

A
95
Q

Aerobic Glycolysis

A
  • occurs in the muscle cells (cytoplasm), this only occurs when carbs are used as fuel
  • glycogen is broken down into glucose which is then broken down into pyruvic acid releasing small amounts of ATP
96
Q

Krebs Cycle

A
  • occurs within the mitochondria fuel and oxygen enter the krebs cycle. Pyruvic acid (carbs), fats or protein can be used as fuel in this stage.
  • oxygen combines with carbons producing CO2 as a by product the CO2 diffuses into the blood and then carried to the lungs and eliminated
  • hydrogen ions are produced and go to the next stage
97
Q

Electron transport chai

A
  • occurs within the mitochondria
  • H and O2 mix to form H2O, heat and water are produced as by products. water diffuses into the tissue and blood and my be sweated or urinated or breathed out
  • ## a large amount of ATP is produced
98
Q

Energy Continuum

A
  • all three energy systems work together to meet energy demands, the contribution of each is determined by the duration, intensity, cardiovascular fitness and type of activity
99
Q

muscle fibre types

A

slow twitch = slow twitch are suited to endurance activities light exercise
eg. long distance

fast twitch IIa = moderate exercise

fast twitch IIb = high inensity, short duration eg sprint

100
Q

aerobic steady state

A

aerobic steady state is when there is a balance between the amount of oxygen required for the activity and the amount of energy being supplied aerobically

101
Q

oxygen deficit

A
  • when the body would rather produce the energy aerobically. when it cant do this it will enter an O2 deficit, as moving from rest to exercise without letting our systems sufficient time to start working the body will use the anaerobic energy sources
102
Q

VO2 & VO2 max

A

VO2 = the amount of oxygen taken up and used by the body to produce energy

VO2 Max = the maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken up, transported to and consumed by the working muscles to produce energy.

103
Q

acute responses

A
  • only last for the duration of the exercise
104
Q

chronic circulatory respiratory adaptations

A

at rest = increased stroke volume, decreased blood pressure, decreased cardiac output

during submaximal exercise = decreased heart rate, increased stroke volume, decreased blood flow

during maximal exercise = increased VO2, increased cardiac output

105
Q

chronic muscular adaptations

A
  • endurance training

- non-endurance training

106
Q

O2 transport in muscles

A
107
Q

absolute and relative VO2 Max

A

absolute = VO2 max is expressed in L per min, body size isnt taken into account

relative = body size is taken into account by dividing the person absolute reading by their weight using mL/Kg/min

108
Q

LIP

A
  • LIP reflects the balance between lactate entry into the blood and lactate removal from the blood it is the last point where these two factors are balanced
109
Q

acute responses

A

acute responses to exercise are those changes which occur in the body between rest and exercise and only last for the duration of the exercise
- acute responses occur due to the working muscles needing greater oxygen supply during exercise

110
Q

chronic response

A

long term adaptations

are changes that occur over longer time durations due to the effects from training

111
Q

myoglobin

A

The main function of myoglobin is in aiding the delivery (diffusion) of oxygen from cell membrane to the mitochondria where it is consumed

112
Q

buffering

A

The increased performance after LIP training results from educating the body’s buffering mechanism
