Sports Physiology Flashcards
what are the 5 aspects of a warm up
pulse raiser
mobility
stretching
dynamic movement
skill rehearsal
what is pulse raiser
light/gentle activity e.g jogging this helps raise the herat rate and starts vascular shunt
what is mobility
moving joints through a whole range of movement in a controlled way. we do this to increase the flexibility of ligaments and tendons
what is stretching
this is a type of movement to help increase flexibility in muscles
what is dynamic movement
this involves things such as shuttle runs and agility runs this prepares muscles and joints for explosive movement
what is skill rehearsal
this involves practicing basic skills this allows the performer to play at a peak performance and is part of mental preparation
whta is a cool down
a cool down is done after sport to help remove waste product and decrease heart rate
what are the two aspects of cool down
low intensity jog and stretching 30 second per stretch
what are the five main methods to prevent injury in sport
conducting a warm up and cool down
using the correct clothing/ forswear
wearing PPE
ensuring the level of competition is appropriate
lifting/ carrying equipment correctly
why do you need to wear the correct kit when playing sport
for example in football you need to wear football boots otherwise u will slip over
what is the point in wearing PPe
this is important as it prevent you for getting serious injury e.g box in cricket and shin pads in football
what is the point in ensuring competition matched
this ensures the game in even and is prevents dangerous things happening
why do you have to be careful when carrying things
this stops you dropping it o you or other things
what is a hazard
something that has potential to cause harm
what is a risk
the chance someone will be harmed by a hazard
what is the environmental continuum
this tells us how open or closed is e.g an open play pass in open and a penalty is closed
what is the difficulty continuum
this tells us how easy/ difficult each skill is
what are the classifications of a skill
fluent
aesthetic
efficient
pre- determined
co-ordination
what is a motor skill
an action or a task has a target or goal and that requires voulantay body/and or limb movement to achieve that goal
what is a skillful movement
this is one which has a predetermined objective in accomplished with maximum efficiency with minimum outlet by energy
why do athletes set goals
for exercise and training adhesive
to help motivate the performer to try their best and work hard to achieve the goal
to improve the persons performance as the goal will be challenging but realistic this causes the athlete to get better/ fitter
