mr smith-paper 2 Flashcards
quantitative data
contains factual information
numerical data
most fitness tests use this data
qualitative data
subjective as looks at feelings, emotions
e.g borg scale method of rating perceived exertion RPE
used to measure performers intensity during training
objective data
data based on facts and is measurable
in fitness testing, involve a measurement
e.g. bleep test
subjective data
based on opinions
e.g Harvard step test as usually relies on data which is predicted
can result in problems with accuracy and objectivity
validity
wehn a test actaully measures what its set out to do
reliability
when results are consistent and can be repeated with the same outcome
first stage of a warm up
performing cardiovascular exercise to gently increase HR
will increase cardiac output
therefore, vascular shunt, directing blood to the working muscles
altogether, increase amount of oxygen to working muscles
second stage of warm up
stretching/flexibility
helps with joints and muscles
prevent injury taking place
what are the 4 types of stretching
static
passive
ballistic
active
static stretching
stretching while not moving
active stretching
performer focuses on one joint, pushing it beyond resistance
ballistic stretching
stretch with swinging or bouncing movements
passive stretching
stretch occurs with help of an external force e.g partner, coach
third stage of a warm up
movement patters that ate to be carried out
e.g practicing shooting or dribbling
psychological effects of a warm up
reduces risk of injry/increases elasticity of muscles
msucle temp increases
mental rehersal, stress or anxiety reduction
supplies blood flow to heart
cool down
consists of some form of light exercise to keep heart rate elevated
allows for oxygen to be flushed around muscles and removal of any lactic acid that still remains
allows skeletal muscle pump to keep working, maintains venous return and reduces risk of blood pooling
limiting effects of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
principles of training
SPORR
specificity
making sure training you do is relevant to your chosen activity
progressive overload
performer gradually trains harder as fitness improves
reversibility
refered to as detraining
if training stops, adaptations made are lost
recovery
important
rest days are needed
3:1 ratio should be used
performer trains for 3 days and rests for one
FITT principles
frequency
intensity
time
type
frequency
how often you train
intensity
how hard you train must gradually increase
time
time spent training should gradully increase
type
needs to be relevant to your chosen sport
