What is Aerobic endurance also know as?
Cardio-respiratory fitness, endurance or aerobic fitness
What is the Cardio Respiratory system main purpose?
To efficiently supple nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity
What is flexibility?
Having an adequate range of motion in all joints of the body: the ability to move a join fluidly through its complete range of movement
What is muscular endurance?
Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscle to apply force and overcome resistance over a prolonged period of time
What is agility?
Agility is the ability to change direction with speed
What is balance?
Balance is the ability to the performer to retain their centre of mass over their base of support without falling
What is coordination?
Coordination is the ability to move two or more body parts at the same time
What is reaction time?
Reaction time between the presentation of a stimulus and movement
What is power/explosive strength?
Power is a combination of strength and speed
What do the S-P-O-R-T principles stand for
Specificity, Progressive Overload, Reversibility
What is specificity?
What you need to train specifically to develop the right: muscles, type of fitness (strength, speed or stamina), or skill
What is progressive overload?
Progressive overload is working the body harder than normal and gradually increasing the amount of exercise you do
What is Reversibility?
Reversibility is simply: unless you keep training, any fitness gains will be lost
Explain F.I.T.T
Frequency-how often we train, Intensity- How hard we train, Time -How long we train, Type-What type of training used
What is circuit training?
Circuit training is a series of exercises completed one after another
What is continuous training?
This type of training involves a steady but regular pace at moderate intensity for at least 30 mins.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of continuous training?
It is highly effective for long distance athletes as it best matches the requirement of the event. Only need a small amount of equipment. Good for losing weight and aerobic fitness.
Can be extremely boring, and doesn’t improve anaerobic fitness (games which involve short bursts of speed)
What is Plyometrics training?
Plyometrics is a method of strength training that can be used to improve power of muscular strength.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of plyometric training?
It is easy to set up, highly effective in developing power, but the likelihood of injury can be increased if not performed correctly
