25
Q

what are the reasons for carrying out fitness tests

A

identify strengths and weaknesses
monitor improvement
motivate and set goals
to show a starting level of fitness

26
Q

what are the limitations of the components of fitness tests

A

non sport specific to general
may not replicate movement of actual activity
may not replicate competitive conditions

27
Q

what does S.P.O.R.T stand for

A

specificity
progressive overload
reversibility
tedium

28
Q

what does F.I.T.T stand for

A

Frequency
intensity
time
type

29
Q

what is specificity

A

making the training specific to the sport being played or the movements being used

30
Q

what is progressive overload

A

gradual increase in training to fitness gains can occur without injury potential. overload is the increase of stress put on the body

31
Q

what is Plateauing

A

this is where you progress to a certain level and get stuck there before being able to move on

32
Q

what is reversibility

A

losing fitness levels when you stop exercising

33
Q

what is tedium

A

boredom that can occur from training the same way every time: variety is needed

34
Q

what is progression

A

gradually increasing the amount of training you do

35
Q

what is circuit training

A

circuit training consists of a number of different exercises or activities arranged in a circuit

36
Q

what is continuous training

A

continuous training is exercise that’s done at a constant rate without any rests

37
Q

what is fartlek

A

fartlek is a training that uses a variety of speed terrain and work/ rest ratios

38
Q

what is high intensity interval training (HIIT)

A

HIIT involves periods of exercising hard. it commonly involves running

39
Q

what is static stretching

A

A stretch held in an isometric contraction for up to 30 seconds improves flexibility

40
Q

what is weight training

A

weight training could be either power or strength and muscular endurance you need to be sure you use the proper technique to stay safe. Also a spotter is needed

41
Q

what is plyometric training

A

plyometric training involves bounding or depth jumping.

42
Q

how do you calculate maximum heart rate

A

220-age=maximum heart rate

43
Q

what is the aerobic training zone

A

60-80% of maximum heart rate

44
Q

what is the anaerobic training zone

A

80-90% of maximum heart rate

45
Q

three main factors of circuit training

A

work time,
rest time
actual content

46
Q

what are the factors you can adjust in weight training

A

the number of reps and sets you do. Another important factor is your one rep max

47
Q

how to train for strength/ power training

A

high weight low reps
should be above 70% one rep max
3 sets of 4-8 reps

48
Q

how to train for muscular endurance

A

low weight high reps
below 70% of one rep max
3 sets of 12-15 reps

49
Q

how to prevent injury

A
warm up
appropriate clothing footwear 
hydration should always be maintained
stretch don't over stretch of bounce
correct technique at all times
rests between sessions to allow recovery
50
Q

what is high altitude training

A

usually takes place above 2000m
the body adapts by making more red blood cells to carry O2
additional O2 gives endurance athletes an advantage when they return to sea level to compete

51
Q

advantages of high altitude training

A

your body is more efficient at supplying O2

52
Q

disadvantages of high altitude training

A

effects disappear quite quickly

maintain fitness
working on specific skills for the best playing performance

effective rest

light aerobic exercise to maintain general fitness levels

56
Q

what should an effective warm up consist of

A
gradual pulse raising
stretching
skilled based practices
mental preparation
activity to increase O2 to the working muscles
57
Q

what are the benefits of an effective warm up

A

increases body temperature
increases range of movement possible
psychological preparation
reduces injury

58
Q

what should an effective cool down consist of

A

Allows the body to recover
removal of lactic acid, CO2 and other waste products
helps to prevent (doms) delayed on set muscles soreness

Q

what is Qualitative data

A
  • involves opinions relating to the quality of the performer rather than the quantity (such as the score you achieved)
  • non of the fitness tests would result in qualitative data
  • if you were to take part in a gymnastics comp your routine score would be qualitative data
61
Q

what is Quantitative data

A

this is a measurement which can be quantified as a number such as time in seconds, or goals scored or achieved, no opinions expressed
