NCSF CSC Unit 1 Flashcards
Highest rate at which oxygen can be utilized during exercise
VO2max
Response rate from perception to action
Reaction time
A derived unit of power, defined as one joule per second
Watts
Related to the perception of position and movement within the body
Proprioception
Combination and interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems in an effort to effectively control bodily movement
Kinetic chain
Property of a body to resist displacement
Stability
Supplies anaerobic energy to support maximal efforts lasting up to 15 sec
Phosphagen system
The change in velocity over time; can vary in magnitude/direction
Acceleration
Programming method that breaks specific stresses into training cycles
Periodization
Property of tissue to become permanently altered
Plasticity
Identify three universal attributes of an elite athlete
Neuromuscular efficiency, Requisite anthropometric measures, and Exposure to sport during youth
Rate of performing work expressed as (force x distance) / time
Power
Accurate performance of a sport-specific movement involving rapid changes of direction/velocity in reaction to analysis of the environment
Agility
Stable state characterized by the cancellation of all forces by equal and opposing forces
Balance
The intelligence of muscle and their ability to communicate efficiently with central processing for harmonious adjustment or interaction of parts
Coordination
The time rate of change of an object’s position without regards to direction
Speed
Most sports are more negatively affected by low measures of fitness than positively benefitted by high measures of fitness.
True
The primary role of a strength coach is to prevent injury and keep athletes on the field.
True
Muscular strength is a measure of the ability to produce maximal force
True
Lower measures of flexibility are associated with training limitations
True
Muscular (anaerobic) endurance is directly associated with VO2max
False
A very low percentage of body fat is desired for all athletes
False
Identify the two major factors associated with the Olympic lifts that make them more effective for developing sport-specific power over the exercises performed during competitive “power-lifting”.
a. The velocity of the lifts , b. The energy transfer efficiency necessary to accelerate the resistance
During most sport-specific movements, forces tend to start from the trunk.
False
