A

Cross training can be used for any sports because it is a mixture of different types of training.

40
Q

Give three advantages of cross training

A

  3. It is easy to monitor progress and overload.
46

C: Cross

D: Weight

A

D: Weight

47
Q

Explain why the suggested target heart rtae zone for a 20 year old is different to that suggested for a 40 year old (3 marks)

A

Maximum heart rate = 220-age (1)

Therefore as you age your maximum heart rate reduces (1)

Target xones are worked out as a percentage of maximum heart rate (1)

Therefore a 20 year old would have a higher maximum heart rate/higher target zone OR therefore a 40 year old would have a lower maximum heart rate/lower target zone (1)

48
Q

Explain why resting heart rate is lower than recovery heart rate (3 marks)

A

Resting heart rate is lower because this is the heart rate whilst the indivdual is inactive (1)

At rest the body has its lowest demand on the circulatory system/demand for oxygen less/less blood flow/less CO2 (1)

Therefore resting heart rate does not need to be high/heart doesnt need to work as hard (1)

Recovery heart rate is higher as the body needs increased blood flow/more oxygen to recuperate after exercise/pay back oxygen debt (1)

49
Q

The following are two training adaptations:

  • Muscular hypertrophy
  • Increased bone density

Identify the method of training that is most likely to cause muscular hypertrophy

A

Weight training

50
Q

The following are two training adaptations:

  • Muscular hypertrophy
  • Increased bone density

Identify an exercsie activity that will result in an increase in bone density

A

Any example of any weight bearing exercise

E.g.

  • Running
  • Jogging
  • Walking
  • Weight bearing activity
  • Tennis
  • Netball
51
Q

Identify the working, resting and recovery heart rate

120bpm

70bpm

80bpm

A

Resting = 70bpm

Working = 120bpm

Recovery = 80bpm

52
Q

Looking at the herat rates explain why the working heart rate is the highest (1 mark)

Resting = 70bpm

Working = 120bpm

Recovery = 80 bpm

A

It is the highest heart rate because the heart has to work hard to supply mre blood carrying oxygen to working muscles / heart beast faster when working

53
Q

Looking at the herat rates explain why the recovery heart rate is the middle value (1 mark)

Resting = 70bpm

Working = 120bpm

Recovery = 80 bpm

A

It is higher than resting heart rate because there is insufficient time to return to resting heart rate

OR

It is higher than resting heart rate because there is not enough time to recover

OR

It is higher than resting heart rate because repaying oxygen debt

63
Q

Why would a person measure their resting heart rate each week as part of their PEP? (1 mark)

A

To measure their fitness

OR

To see if they are getting fitter

OR

To see if resting HR is decreasing as this indicates the PEP is working

B: 80%

C: 70%

D: 60%

A

B: 80%

66
Q

Briefly explain why a quicker recovery rate would be an advantage during a cross country race (2 marks)

A

Fitter cardiovascular system. This indicates they are fitter/can work harder during the race/cardiovascular system more efficient/stronger heart (1)

This means they wull not need to slow down/stop/restart quicker after stopping/slowing down/they can return to their normal pace quicker (1)

This means during a race they are able to run fast for longer/maintain speed on more intense sections of the course (1)
