Physical Training Flashcards
Limitations of fitness testing
Not sport specific Not replicating movements of activities Not replicating competitive conditions Not direct measuring so can be inaccurate Can be difficult to do properly
What is muscular strength
The ability to overcome a resistance
What are the stages of a warm up
Gradual pulse raiser
Stretching
Skill based practises
Metal preparation
What changes in progressive-overload
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type
What is power
Strength x speed to create fast high intensity movements
What is co-ordination
The ability to use 2 or more body parts at the same time/together smoothly and efficiently
Methods to prevent injury
Training intensity Hydration Appropriate rest Warm up Using braces and tape Appropriate clothing and footwear
What is reaction time
The time taken to initiate a response to a stimulus
Reasons for fitness testing
To identify weaknesses and strengths
To monitor improvement
For comparisons
To set goals
What is agility
The ability to change direction quickly with control
What is muscular endurance
It is the ability of a muscle to undergo repeated contractions whilst avoiding fatigue
What is fitness

Reversibility
Tedium
What is cardio-vascular endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to the working muscles
What types of training are there
Continuous Fartlek Circuit Interval Static stretching Weight Plyometric
What are the stages of a cool down
Maintain elevated breathing and heart rate
Gradual reduction in intensity
Stretching
What is speed
Maximum rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement/ cover a distance in a period of time
What training techniques are there
High altitude
Pre-season
Competition
What is balance
The ability to keep your centre of mass over the base of support
What is the point of warm ups
Reduces risk of injury Increase body temperature Increase range of movement Psychological preparation Elevated heart and breathing rate
What is the point of a cool down
Allows body to recover
Removes lactic acid
Increased removal of carbon dioxide
Helps prevent DOMS
What is flexibility
The range of movement possible at a joint
What is health
A state of complete mental, social and physical well being
