Name the components of fitness
ABCCEFPRSS
Name the different types of strength
Maximal, static, dynamic and explosive
What’s the definition of maximal
The greatest amount of force that a muscle or multiple can generate
What’s the definition of static
The force a muscle group can apply to an immovable object without shortening the length of muscle
What’s the definition of dynamic
Repeated contraction of a muscle
What’s the definition of explosive
Muscle contractions happen at a high speed
Why do we do fitness tests?
Allows us to find strengths and weaknesses
Set targets
Monitor progress
What’s qualitative data
A measure of opinions
What’s quantitive data
A measurement which has been qualified as a number
What’s the definition of objective
Factual data
What’s the definition of subjective
Opinions and attitudes
What does FITT stand for
Frequency, intensity, time and type
What does SPORT stand for
Specificity, progressive overload, reversibility, tedium
Name the 7 methods of training
Circuit, weight,plyometric, continuous, fartlek, high intensity, static stretching
What is plyometric training
TRaining used to increase power
What exercises are involved in plyometric training
Bouncing, jumping and hopping
What is continuous training
Any activity that can be sustained without rest
What does high altitude training help
It’s helps endurance as the body finds it hard to move the limited oxygen so it creates more red blood cells
Name the effects of a warm up
It’s a gradual pulse raiser
It’s a mental arousal
Less chance of injury
Name the benefits of a cool down
Allows the body to recover
Helps with the removal of lactic acid
Prevents DOMS
What’s a training zone
A threshold you can work in so you don’t under or over train
What are the parts of a lever system
Fulcrum, effort and load
What is a fulcrum
A place where movement occurs (a joint)
What is the effort
It’s the force applied to one part of the lever
What is the load

Name a third lever
Bicep curl(but most levers in the body)
What does a lever depend on
It depends on the insertion of muscle
What is a transverse axes and what movement comes with it
Side to side, and a front flip
What is a longitudinal axes and what movement comes with it
Top to bottom, pirouette
What is a sagittal axes and what movement comes with it
Front to back, cartwheel
What’s a transverse plane and what axes comes with it
It describes a rotational movement and it goes with the longitudinal axes
What’s a frontal plane and what axes comes with it
Describes flexion and extension and goes with the sagittal axis
What’s a sagittal plane and what axes comes with it
Describes addiction and abduction and goes with the transverse axes
