Question 1

what are the characteristics of skeletal muscle tissue

Answer 1

is a highly organized tissue composed of bundles of muscle fibres called myofibers which contain several myofibrils.

Question 2

what is contractibility

Answer 2

shortening the muscle and decreasing the angle between 2 points.

Question 3

what is extendibility

Answer 3

lengthening the muscle and increasing the angle between 2 points.

Question 4

what is elasticity

Answer 4

how much a muscle can stretch

Question 5

how do the origin and insertion points determine the action of the muscle

Answer 5

Origin is relatively the less movable end of the muscle/tendon that is attached to a bone.
Insertion is the more flexible end of the muscle that is usually attached to a bone via tendons.

Question 6

what are the origin and insertion points of skeletal muscles

Answer 6

The origin is the attachment site that doesn’t move during contraction, while the insertion is the attachment site that does move when the muscle contracts.

Question 7

what is origin

Answer 7

the point at which the muscle joins the stationary bone.

Question 8

what is insertion

Answer 8

the point where the muscle’s tendon joins the moving bone.

Question 9

how long does ATP-CP last for

Answer 9

10 seconds of high intensity physical activity.

Question 9

how long does Lactic Acid last for

Answer 9

30sec to 2 minutes

Question 10

how long does Anaerobic last for

Answer 10

10-15 seconds.

Question 11

how long does aerobic last for

Answer 11

2-3 minutes or as long as you need

Question 12

what are 2 ways to test fitness

Answer 12

1.field 2.lab

Question 13

what does ATP stand for

Answer 13

Adenosine Triphosphate

Question 14

what does ATP-CP stand for

Answer 14

Adenosine Triphosphate + Creatine Phosphate

Question 15

what does the anaerobic system do

Answer 15

providing energy for all forms of physical activity.

Question 16

what does aerobic system do

Answer 16

uses oxygen to enable you to exercise at a level of intensity for sustained periods of time.

Question 16

what are simple test to measure the capacities of the aerobic energy system

Answer 16

the beep test: it’s used to measure aerobic fitness by predicting maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and performance.

Question 16

what are simple test to measure the capacities of the anaerobic energy systems

Answer 16

The Wingate test: typically involves 30 seconds of maximal exercise.

Question 16

what does lactic acid system do

Answer 16

is the body’s method of rapidly creating energy in the form of ATP

Question 17

how prevention of sport injuries using protective equipment

Answer 17

well-fitting uniform and shoes as well as helmet, mouthguard or body pads can prevent injuries so they can move freely and naturally.

Question 17

how prevention of sport injuries ensuring a safe environment

Answer 17

making sure that surfaces are level, smooth and free of objects, making sure areas on indoor courts are not slippery and enough space so no athletes cant collide together.

Question 18

how prevention of sport injuries using effective warm-up and cool-down

Answer 18

warm-up: raising the body temperature and increasing blood flow to muscles.
cool-down: heart rate and blood pressure slowly recover to pre-exercise levels.
