Q

what are slow-twitch fibres used for?

A

they are built for endurance activities

19
Q

define static balance

A

the ability to maintain an upright posture and keep the line of gravity within the limits of the base of support

20
Q

define dynamic balance

A

the ability to maintain balance while moving

21
Q

what are the types of fitness testing?

A

specificity
practicality
validity
reliability

22
Q

what is reliability testing

A

tests that will produce the same results when repeated

23
Q

what is validity testing

A

fitness tests that measure the component of fitness they are supposed to eg the sit and reach test does not only measure the flexibility of the hamstrings

23
Q

what is specificity testing

A

training that is specific to the sport, and actions within the sport

24
Q

what is maximal testing?

A

when the participant is required to perform the test until exhaustion

25
Q

name the three somotypes

A

ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph

26
Q

what body type is an ectomorph

A

a lean and delicate build

27
Q

what body type is a mesomorph?

A

compact and muscular body build

28
Q

what body type is an endomorph?

A

a soft round build with high level of fat tissue

29
Q

what is the skinfold measurement for?

A

determines body composition, specifically body fat percentage

30
Q

what are ways to measure training intensity?

A

percentage of maximal heart rate
rating perceived exertion
measuring blood lactate levels

31
Q

what is the generally recommended frequency of training sessions per week?

A

three. no less than 2 and no more than 5

32
Q

what is progressive overload?

A

increasing the duration, type, intensity or frequency of training to overload in order to see progress.

33
Q

what is continuous training?

A

aerobic activity sustained for 20 minutes or more

34
Q

what is the anaerobic threshold?

A

the exertion level between anaerobic and aerobic training. it is the point in exercise where your body switches the predominant system.

35
Q

what is plyometrics training?

A

extending muscles with applied resistence. exercises that exert maximum force in short time, with the goal of increasing power

36
Q

what is Fartlek training?

A

continuous training with intervals. periods of fast running with periods of slow running or obstacles such as hills.

37
Q

how can BMI be determined?

A

weight in kg divided by height in metres squared. BMI = kg/m2

38
Q

what do low reps and high weight do to muscles?

A

builds muscle mass

39
Q

what will fast reps with low weight do to muscles?

A

improve muscle endurance

40
Q

what contraction lengthens the muscle under tension?

A

isotonic contractions

41
Q

what is anaerobic vs aerobic?

A

aerobic is an activity that requires oxygen to the muscles, anaerobic activity that does not require oxygen to the muscles

42
Q

what is the difference between strength and power?

A

strength is the body resistance to weight, power is weight and speed combined

43
Q

glucose is used to fuel which energy system?

A

lactic acid system/anaerobic glycolysis system
