Test Revision Flashcards
Speed
Maximum rate which someone can complete a movement or cover a distance
Flexibility
Range of movement possible at a joint
What do tendons attach too
Bone to bone
What planes and axis’s do summer salts havs
Sagittal plane , frontal axis
Define specificity
Makes training specific to your sport, position, components of fitness and muscle group
Define static strength
Holding a body part in a still position
Define progressive overload
Stressing the part of the body to cause adaptations to take place. Its a gradual ams steady process
Whats the acronym used to describe progressive overload
F = frequency- training more often than before
I = intensity - increasing range of movement, heart rate or resistance
T= time- training for longer sessions, more reps and sets or shorter recovery
T = type - variety of training
Define plyometric training
Increases power, elastic strength and explosiveness. It uses eccentric to concentric movement. Power increases speed , agility and jumping ability
Define interval training
1 interval = 1 work+ 1rest . Working anaerobically means at 90-100% intensity for over 3 seconds and under 60 seconds with a defined rest after. Working aerobically is at a 70-80% intensity and it means working for longer with shorter rests. It improves speed, strength, CV fitness
What happens in the multi stage fitness test
There are 2 cones or lines 20 m apart. You run from 1 line to the other in between beeps and the beeps will gradually increase in speed which increases intensity. You continue till failure which tests for cardiovascular endurance
Cardiac output equation
Stroke volume x heart rate
