Q

What are the main benefits of an effective cool-down?

A
  1. Allows the body to start recovering after exercising
  2. Helps with removal of carbon dioxide, lactic acid and waste products
  3. Helps to prevent the delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS)

Q

What are the principles of overload (the ways you can differentiate your training)

A

Frequency (eg. how many times a week you train)
Intensity (eg. shortening rest breaks inbetween sets)
Time (eg. making sessions longer)

Q

What are the principles of training (the things you are trying to achieve when planning a training session)

A

Specificity (how relevant to the athlete it is and their sports/ fitness goals
Progressive Overload (how you can gradually improve fitness FITT principles)
Reversibility (how to stop the athlete from losing fitness like not taking a long break)
Tedium (how to prevent boredom whilst training and making it engaging)

Q

what are some reasons for carrying out fitness tests (TEST)

A

Training programme (shows what needs to be trained more)
Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of an athlete
Set goals to improve generally or reach a specific target
Tedium- to provide variety in training and prevent boredom

Q

how to implement safety measures whilst training (SAFER)

A

Stretches should be completed as part of a thorough warm up
Appropriate intensity should be used (avoid overtraining)
Footwear, equipment and clothing should be appropriate to allow support/movement
Exercise and Rest; allow appropriate rest inbetween sessions

A

the ability to use voluntary muscles repeatedly without tiring

26
Q

define muscular strength

A

the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance

27
Q

define power

A

the product of strength x speed

28
Q

define reaction time

A

time taken to respond to a stimulus

29
Q

define speed

A

the maximum rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time.

30
Q

what are the limitations of fitness testing

A
  • often not sport specific
  • do not replicate competitive in game situation
  • must be carried out correctly to ensure validity
  • need motivation
31

time is taken and recorded

32
Q

A

stork stand test
participant balances on one foot in the stork position
time is taken and recorded

33
Q

how is cardiovascular endurance tested

A

multi stage fitness test
participant runs from one end to another between beeps in an audio clip
maximum level and shuttle recorded

34
Q

how is coordination tested

A

wall toss test
participant stands infront of wall and throws ball onto it and catches with the other as many times in 30s
score recorded

35
Q

how is flexibility tested

A

sit and reach test
participant sits against sit and reach box and reaches forward as far as possible, holding for a few seconds at maximum
score as shown on box recorded

36
Q

how is muscular endurance?

A

sit up bleep test
participant does sit ups between bleeps from audio
maximum level recorded from audio

37

vertical jump test
difference between participant max reach at standing and max reach when jumping recorded
difference in cm recorded and compared

38
Q

how is reaction time tested

A

ruler drop test
participant lines up fingers with 0 on ruler and ruler is dropped, and caught as fast as possible. difference recorded and compared

39
Q

how is maximal strength tested

A

one rep max test
participant lifts heaviest weight they can once
this weight is recorded

40
Q

how is speed tested

A

30m sprint test
participant is timed sprinting a measured out 30m
time is taken and recorded

41
Q

what is specificity?

A

how relevant training is to what you are training for and what areas of fitness you want to improve

42
Q

what is overload

A

gradually increasing intensity or frequency/ duration of training to gradually improve

43
Q

what is reversibility

A

when progress in training or fitness is reversed due to a long period of rest/injury

44
Q

what is continuous training

A

training without rests

45
Q

what is fartlek training

A

training with varied speed, terrain and work to recovery ratios

46
Q

what is plyometric training

A

use of jumping exercises to improve power

47
Q

what is interval training

A

periods of intense exercise interspersed with periods of rest

48
Q

what is training threshold?

A

Training threshold is the level of training that puts enough stress on the body systems to induce change and improve performance, yet is safe and does not lead to injury

49
Q

how can weight training be adapted to improve muscular endurance vs strength?

A

muscular endurance: low weight (below 70% of one rep max), high reps eg. 3 sets of 12-15 reps

strength: high weight (above 70% of one rep max), low reps eg. 3 sets of 4-8 reps

50
Q

how is altitude training carried out?

A
  • train at high altitude
  • less oxygen in and oxygen carrying capacity is reduced
  • body compensates by making more red blood cells to carry oxygen
