18
Q

Interval training

A

Period of work and relief with varying levels of intensity. Used to develop speed and muscular endurance

19
Q

Plyometric Training

A

Muscles are used to exert maximum force in short periods of time, with the aim of developing speed and strength

Q

Weigh Training

A

Uses weight to provide resistance. Used to develop muscular strength. By varying weights and reps, you can improve muscular endurance.

21
Q

What is Body pump?

Give an advantage and disadvantage.

A

Develops strength and Cardio Vascular endurance

A
Train for longer and more intensely
Fitness levels are improved
Recovery is quicker
Sleep better
Resting heart rate is lower
Reduced body fat
Improved health
26
Q

Exercise - Benefits to the musculo-skeletal system

A

Increased bone density - making bones stronger and more able to withstand potential impacts better

Increased strength of ligaments and tendons - improving joint stability

Muscle hypertrophy - muscles become bigger in size, fibres get thicker and stronger.

27
Q

Why is rest important for adaptations to take place?

A

Without adequate rest, changes will not occur. Rest is a crucial part of any training programme.

Its important to allow adequate time to recover before the next training session

Increased in number of red blood cells
Drop in resting blood pressure
Increased lung capacity/volume and vital capacity
Increased number of alveoli
Increased strength of diaphragm
