33
What are the DISADVANTAGES of the NCF multi-stage fitness test ?
- not a measurement - elderly - health conditions - not sport specific
34
What is KARVONEN'S PRINCIPLE ?
training HR = resting HR + %(HRmax - resting HR)
35
What is CONTINUOUS TRAINING ?
steady-state low-moderate intensity work for a prolonged period of time
36
What is the INTENSITY of continuous training ?
60 - 80% of HRmax
37
What is the DURATION of continuous training ?
20 - 80 mins
38
What are the ADVANTAGES of continuous training ?
- improve aerobic capacity | - little equipment
39
What are the DISADVANTAGES of continuous training ?
- boring | - not sport specific
40
What is HIIT ?
repeated bouts of high-intensity work followed by varied recovery times
41
What is the INTENSITY of HIIT ? (work intervals)
80 - 95% of HRmax
42
What is the DURATION of HIIT ? (work intervals)
5 secs - 8 mins
43

44
What is the DURATION of HIIT ? (rest intervals)
equal to the work intervals (1:1 work to relief)
45
AEROBIC TRAINING : RESPIRATORY SYSTEM : STRUCTURAL ADAPTATIONS : FUNCTIONAL EFFECT
- stronger respiratory muscles = increased lung volume & decreased respiratory fatigue - increased SA alveoli = increased external gaseous exchange
46
AEROBIC TRAINING : CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM : STRUCTURAL ADAPTATIONS : FUNCTIONAL EFFECT
- cardiac hypertrophy = increased SV = decreased resting HR - increased elasticity of arterial walls = efficient vascular shunt = increased vasodialation - increased RBC and HB count - capillarisation
47
AEROBIC TRAINING : MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM : STRUCTURAL ADAPTATIONS : FUNCTIONAL EFFECT
- SO MF hypertrophy = aerobic energy production - size and density of mitochondria = utilisation of O2 - store of Mb and glycogen - connective tissue
48
AEROBIC TRAINING : METABOLIC SYSTEM : STRUCTURAL ADAPTATIONS : FUNCTIONAL EFFECT
- increase in mitochondria = increased metabolism - decreased fat mass = increased lean mass - decrease insulin resistance = maintains blood glucose levels
49
What is STATIC STRENGTH ?
- against a resistance - no movement - isometric contractions = no muscle length change
50
Give an example of static strength
handstand on the floor
51

58
Give an example of explosive strength
wrestling
59
What are the 4 AFFECTING FACTORS of strength ?
- cross-section area - fibre type - gender - age
60
How does the CROSS-SECTION AREA affect strength ?

- FO and FOG = strength | - large number of motor neurons forming large motor units
62
How does GENDER affect strength ?
- males have more strength - high muscle mass and cross-sectional area - more testosterone
63
How does AGE affect strength ?
- females = 16-25 - males = 18-30 - efficiency of neuromuscular system and elasticity
64
What is the average vertical jump score for 16-19
``` females = 36 - 46 cm males = 40 - 49 cm ```
65
What is the ONE REP MAX TEST ?
MAXIMUM STRENGTH - specific piece of gym equipment - increase weight until one rep can be completed - full recovery between reps
66
What are the STRENGTHS of the one rep max test ?
- direct objective measure - easy procedure - most muscle groups can be tested
67
What are the WEAKNESSES of the one rep max test ?
- trail and error = fatigue - good technique - potential for injury
68
What is the GRIP STRENGTH DYNAMOMETER ?
MAXIMUM STRENGTH - hold the dynamometer with a straight arm above head - arm brought down as grip is squeezed
69
What are the STRENGTHS of the grip strength dynamometer ?
- simple objective measure - cheap - highly reliable
70
What are the WEAKNESSES of the grip strength dynamometer ?
- only measure forearm | - not sport-specific
71
What is the UK ABDOMINAL CURL TEST ?
STRENGTH ENDURANCE - progressive intensity to exhaustion - timed to an auto-cue - stage and sit-up # given
72
What are the STRENGTH of the uk abdominal curl test ?
- large groups - simple and cheap - isolates abs - valid and reliable
73
What are the WEAKNESSES of the uk abdominal test ?
- good technique - strain on lower spine - limited to subject motivation - not sport-specific
74
What is the VERTICAL JUMP TEST ?
EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH - wall-mounted vertical jump board - highest point reached with arm outstretched - difference between resting and jumping score
75
What are the STRENGTHS of the vertical jump test ?
- easy - minimal equipment - administered by pp
76
What are the WEAKNESSES of the vertical jump test ?
