Q

Despite having good fitness

A

You can still become unwell (suffer from poor health), even if you are very fit.
Ill health can negatively affect fitness. For example, a performer may be too unwell to train, which means they lose their fitness.
An increase in fitness will not always stop you from becoming ill, so your health can still suffer.

97
Q

Evaluate the importance of muscular endurance to a trampoline performer when
performing a routine.

A

Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to undergo repeated contractions
avoiding fatigue.
It’s important as the body is constantly moving uses arms and legs throughout
Marks could be lost in a competitive routine if muscles fatigue and cause loss of technique
Power more important
power needs to be generated off of the bed to gain the height required

98
Q

Outline what static strength is and using a sport of your choice, justify why it is important to performers in that sport.

A

Static strength is the ability to apply a force where the length of the muscle does not change and there is no visible movement at a joint. Ie During a Handstand in Gymnastics if a handstand is not held the move is incorrect marks could be deducted in a competition the
proceeding move may not be possible.

99
Q

Evaluate how appropriate an ice bath may be to aid the recovery of a performer immediately after a game of badminton.

A

A method used for recovery purposes to remove lactic acid procedures for using an ice bath
Involves sitting in ice cold water for between 5–20 minutes. Recovery may be needed after badminton due to lactic acid build. Rallies can be long and exhaustive and the Ice Bath can help relieve DOMS. However Ice Baths may not be always avaliable an alternative way may be a massage could also help relieve DOMS.

A

Can easily become a routine
Easy to do
Free
Don’t need any equipment

111
Q

How can you manipulate your diet by rehydration after exercise

A
  • Water or Isotonic Drinks should be consumed to replaced fluids lost. - If not could lead to becoming Dehydrated,Dizziness and Nausea
112
Q

How can you manipulate your diet by Carbohydrates after exercise

A

Food high in Carbs should be used to replace glycogen stores.
Example Endurance Performers such as marathon runners, manipulate their diets like this.

113
Q

Why are Ice Baths good

A

Putting the body in a ice bath will cause the blood become narrower and flush out waste products (lactic acid). To reduce swelling.
When the performer steps out of the bath, their muscles return to a warmer temperature and the blood flowing through them is now cleaner (fewer waste products). This delivers oxygen and nutrients to the muscles to help repair them.

114
Q

Why are massages good

A

Rubbing and kneading a performer’s muscles can relax the muscles and cause blood to flow.
This blood flow can help remove waste products (lactic acid), speed up recovery and prevent DOMS.

115
Q

Downsides to massages

A

Massages can be expensive and some people may not have the knowledge to perform a massage.

116
Q

Downsides to Ice Baths

A

Not everyone has an ice bath and it’s time consuming

117

  • Body Temp +
  • Heart Rate +
  • Increase in Breathing Rate +
118
Q

What happens in the body during exercise to cool down?

A

Sweating

Vasodilation of Arteries

119
Q

A 
Muscular endurance +
Muscle Size +
Hypertrophy of Muscles
Hypertrophy of Heart
Bradycardia
Cardiovascular Endurance
Weight Loss
120
Q

What would be the best way to increase muscle size through weight training?

A

High Numbers of Sets

Low Number of Reps

121
Q

Why does weight loss occur in the long term as a consequence of exercise?

A

This is because the body breaks down fat stores to use the glucose for energy.

122
Q

Why is a triathlete more likely to manipulate their carbs intake compared to a 100m runner

A

The triathlete will use a lot of carbohydrates to complete his race therefore his carbs needs to be replaced otherwise he won’t have enough energy to compete again. The 100m is a shorter and more intense so won’ t use the same amount of carbs as triathlete. A 100M SPRINTER IS THEREFORE LESS IN NEEDS OF CARBS

123
Q

Short Term effects of exercise

A 
Tiredness/Fatigue
Lightheadedness
Nausea
DOMS
Cramp
