Test

Question 1

Principles of speed agility and quickness

Answer 1

Involves being coached correct techniques for movements

Involves progression exercises to improve motor abilities to do skills faster / more accuracy

Question 2

Benefits of speed agility quickness SAQ

Answer 2

Improves muscular power
Improved reaction time
Improved motor skills

Question 3

How can an increase in vO2 max aid performance of a player

Answer 3

VO2 max is the maximum volume of oxygen utilities per minute

More oxygen available means lactic acid can be broken down quicker/ no build up

More red blood cells to carry oxygen to muscles

Question 4

Function and process of fast component of EPOC

Answer 4

EPOC - amount of oxygen consumed in recovery above resting rate
Re saturation of myoglobin
Resynthesises ATP/PC levels

Completed in 2-3 mins
50 % of PC stores replenished within 30s

Question 5

Factors that contribute to a performers vo2 max

Answer 5

VO2 max definition

Lifestyle - exercise, smoking, diet

Type of training - continuous, fartlek, aerobic, endurance

Age - decreases with age

Genetics

Gender - men have approx 20% better vo2 max

Physiology - number of slow twitch fibres, mitrochrondria, red blood cells

Question 6

Analyse each energy system in the table during the different races (15marks)

Answer 6

The ATP-PC involves the breakdown of PC to form ATP.
The aerobic system uses oxygen to release energy
The aerobic system has a higher ATP yield than the other systems

ATP PC system only lasts 8-10 seconds

Explain each system
