A

Plyometrics, also known as “jump training” or “plyos”, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength). This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or “explosive” manner, such as in specialized repeated jumping.

A

Circuit training is a form of physical exercise that combines strength exercises, or weight training, with endurance exercises, or cardiovascular training. It can be used by a single person following an exercise routine or by a group of people who rotate among training stations. This type of routine works out the whole body in a single session.

40

A

The range of motion about a joint

49
Q

A

The range of motion about a joint without reference to speed of movement

50
Q

Define dynamic flexibility

A

The range of motion about a joint with reference to speed of movement

51
Q

A

Achieved by the performer completing a voluntary contraction to move a joint just beyond its point of resistance

52
Q

Static passive flexibility ?

A

Is assisted by a partner or aid to move the joint just beyond its point of resistance

53
Q

Dynamic flexibility ?

A

The range of motion about a joint with reference to speed movement. It reflects a joint’s muscles and connective tissues resistance to movement

54
Q

Factors effecting flexibility ?

A

Type of joint - The size and shape of bones can aid or limit the range of motion

Length and elasticity of surrounding connective tissue - Greater the length the greater the distance before the stretch is initiated and greater the elasticity , the greater the motion possible at a joint

Gender - Females have a higher levels of oestrogen and relaxin , the hormones responsible for elasticity

age - Age related decline in flexibility is due to a loss of elasticity in the connective tissue

55
Q

Active stretching ?

A

The performer themselves moves the joint into its stretched position without any external force or resistance. They will contract the agonist muscle to hold position and stretch the antagonist pair

56
Q

Passive stretching ?

A

The performer moves the joint into its stretched position with assistance , the aid of a partner or apparatus to help move the joint just beyond the point of resistance.

57
Q

Isometric stretching ?

A

Involves isometrically contracting the muscle while holding a stretched position. With use of assistance . a partner or apparatus , the performer will move into a static passive stretch and isometrically contract the muscle

58
Q

Benefit of isometric stretching ?

A

Fast and effective way to develop increased static passive flexibility while decreasing the amount of pain associated with stretching routines.

Also develop strength in the ‘tensed muscles’ to increase static active flexibility
However has the risk of damaging tendons and connective tissues

59
Q

Define proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

A

A stretching technique to desensitise the stretch reflex , whereby a performer completes a static stretch , isometrically contracts against the agonist , relaxes an stretches further

60
Q

Three steps of PNF ?

A

Static . With assistance from a partner , a limb is moved just past the point of resistance and held

Contract - The agonist muscle isometrically contracts against the resistance

Relax- The muscle relaxes and the limb can be moved further into the stretch position

61
Q

Define muscle spindles

A

Sensory receptors within the muscle that detect stretch and relay the information to the brain

62
Q

What is ballistic stretching ?

A

Involves swinging and bouncing movements to create momentum to force the joint through its extreme range of motion. By bouncing into position , the lengthened muscles are used as a spring , which pulls the performer out of the stretched position

63
Q

Benefit of ballistic stretching ?

A

Prepares the muscle and connective tissue for rapid movement and improve speed and power

However risk of injury

64
Q

Dynamic stretching ?

A

Stretching technique which involves taking the joint through its full range of motion with control over the entry and exit of the stretch

73
Q

Effects of training ? Heart

A

Reduce levels of blood of blood lipids and overall cholesterol and increase the proportion of HDL and LDL cholesterol

Prevent hardening and loss of elasticity in the arterial walls due to regular vasoconstriction and dilation

Increase coronary circulation and increase diameter and density

Decrease body fat and help manage weight

Increase blood flow and oxygen transportation to the muscle cells

reduce risk of stroke by 27 %

74
Q

Define Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ?

A

An umbrella term for one or more respiratory diseases severe asthma where persistent inflammation leads to permeant damage in the air ways and lungs

75
Q

What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ? COPD

A

Over time the inflammation narrows the airways and thickens bronchioles , increased mucus damage to the alveoli and decrease lung elasticity

76
