physical training

Question 1

weight training

Answer 1

The use of weights/resistance to cause adaptation of the muscles.

Question 2

tedium

Answer 2

Boredom that can occur from training the same way every time. Variety is needed.

Question 3

progressive overload

Answer 3

Gradual increase of the amount of overload so that fitness gains occur, but without potential for injury. Overload is the gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise training (more than normal).

Question 4

reversibility

Answer 4

Losing fitness levels when you stop exercising.

Question 5

specificity

Answer 5

Making training specific to the sport being played/movements used/muscles used/energy system(s) used.

Question 6

season

Answer 6

A period of time during which competition takes place or training seasons, dividing the year up into sectional parts for pre-determined benefits. Training seasons include: pre-season (preparation) competition season (peak) post-season (transition).

Question 7

principles of training

Answer 7

Specificity. 
Progressive Overload, 
Reversibility 
Tedium 
(SPORT)

Question 8

principles of overload

Answer 8

Frequency (How often we train)
Intensity (How hard we train)
Time (How long we train for)
Type (The method of training we use)

Question 9

pre-season (preparation)

Answer 9

period leading up to competition usually using continuous/fartlek/interval training sessions to increase aerobic fitness weight training to build up strength and muscular endurance developing techniques specific to the sport in order to be fully prepared for matches at start of season

Question 10

post season

Answer 10

Period of rest/active recovery/light aerobic work after the competition period (season).

Question 11

interval training

Answer 11

Periods of training/work that are followed by periods of rest, eg work, rest, work, rest

Question 12

High intensity interval training (HITT)

Answer 12

It’s an exercise strategy alternating periods of short intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods.

Question 13

F.I.T.T principle

Answer 13

(Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type)

These are used to progressively overload training.

Question 14

Fartlek training

Answer 14

Swedish for ‘speed play’. Periods of fast work with intermittent periods of slower work. Often used by games players, ie sprint, jog, walk, jog, sprint, etc.

Question 15

DOMS (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness)

Answer 15

The pain you feel in your muscles the day after exercise.

Question 16

Competition season (peak)

Answer 16

It is defined as: playing season taking part in matches every week maintenance of fitness related to the activity but not too much training as it may cause fatigue, which would decrease performance concentration on skills/set plays to improve team performance.

Question 17

Circuit training

Answer 17

A series of exercise stations whereby periods of work are interspersed with periods of rest.

Question 18

Agility

Answer 18

The ability to move and change direction quickly, at speed, while maintaining control.

Question 19

Balance

Answer 19

Maintaining the centre of mass over the base of support.

Balance can be static or dynamic.

Question 20

Cardiovascular endurance

Answer 20

The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles.

Question 21

Coordination

Answer 21

The ability to use two or more different parts of the body smoothly and efficiently

Question 22

Flexibility

Answer 22

The range of movement possible at a joint

Question 23

muscular endurance

Answer 23

Ability of a muscle or muscle group to undergo repeated contractions, avoiding fatigue.

Question 24

Strength

Answer 24

The ability to overcome a resistance. This can be explosive, static or dynamic: explosive – see Power static – static ability to hold a body part (limb) in a static position.

Question 25

speed

Answer 25

The maximum rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time, putting the body parts into action as quickly as possible. Calculated by: distance ÷ time

Question 26

reaction time

Answer 26

The time taken to initiate a response to a stimulus, ie the time from the initiation of the stimulus (eg starting gun in 100 m) to starting to initiate a response (eg starting to move out of the blocks in 100 m).

Question 27

Power/explosive strength (anaerobic power)

Answer 27

The product of strength and speed, ie strength x speed.
