Topic 3- Physical training Flashcards
define health
a state of complete emotional,physical and social wellbeing
define fitness
the ability to meet the demands of the environment
define exercise
a form of physical activity done to maintain or improve health or physical fitness
define performance
how well a task is completed
what is the relationship between exercise,fitness and performance?
taking part in exercise increases fitness
if fitness improves so does performance
give an example of how the relationship of exercise, fitness and performance can be beneficial
cardio vascular fitness improve
less likely to suffer with fatigue
therefore maintain performance for longer
give an example of how lack of exercise can effect fitness and performance
not healthy enough to take part in regular exercise
fitness will deteriorate
causing your performance levels to drop
health benefits will not be gained
define cardio vascular fitness
the ability to exercise the entire body for long periods of time without tiring
when is cardio-vascular fitness required
when activity is:
mainly aerobic
last a long time
cardio vascular fitness is used by performers who need to do what?
maintain quality of performance
work body for long time without fatiguing
define muscular endurance
ability to use voluntary muscles many times without getting tired
when is muscular endurance required?
when activity is:
mainly aerobic
last a long time
repeating the use of same muscles
muscular endurance is used by performers who need to do what?
repeat muscles contractions over a long time without tiring
define flexibility
the range of movement possible at a joint
why is flexibility important?
increases range of movement at the joint
helps prevent injury
define reaction time
time it takes to respond to a stimulus
why is it useful to have a fast reaction?
get a good start
adapt quickly to changes in play
give an example where quick reaction time is needed?
rugby player needing to change direction quickly due to a deflected ball
define power
ability to do strength performances quickly
define speed
amount of time it takes to perform a particular action
when is speed useful?
events won by quickest time
where power is needed
define agility
ability to change position of the body quickly whilst maintaining control of movement
define balance
ability to retain bodies centre of mass above the base of support
define coordination
the ability to use two or more body parts together
define body composition
the relative ratio of fat mass to fat free mass in the body
give an example of when body composition effects performance
if a rugby player doesn’t have enough muscles and body fat its easier for an opponent to push them off the ball
define strength
the amount of force a muscle can exert against resistance
what does PARQ stand for?
physical activity readiness questionnaire
what is point of a PARQ?
identify any potential health problems that would stop them from doing exercise
what is the point in fitness testing?
establishing current level of fitness
idetifying strength and weaknesses
what are the tests for cardio vascular endurance?
12 min cooper run/swim
harvard step test
what is the test for strength?
grip dynamometer
what is the test for flexibility?
sit and reach test
what is the test for agility?
illinois run
what is the test for speed?
30 metre sprint
what is the test for power?
vertical jump test
what is the test for muscular endurance?
one minute press up test
one minute sit up test
what is the meaning of progressive overload
gradually increasing the amount of work in training
give an example of progressive overload
week 1= 5 sit ups
week 2= 10 sit ups
what is the meaning of specificity?
matching training to the particular requirements of an activity
give an example of specificity?
a rower basing their training around a rowing machine
what is the meaning of individual needs?
matching training to the requirements of a person
give an example of individual needs
brothers both 13 and 16
younger one only trains twice a week for 30 minutes
older one trains every other day for an hour
what is the meaning of overtraining?
doing too much training which leads to injury and prevents improvement
what could be the causes of overtraining?
not enough rest between sessions
sessions are too long
using workload that is too high
what does FITT stand for?
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type
what does the frequency mean in FITT
how often you train
it should gradually increase
training more often leads to better performance
what does the intensity mean in FITT
how hard you train
should gradually increase
training harder leads to better performance
what does time mean in FITT
how long you train for
should gradually increase
what does type mean in FITT
relates to specificity. closer match between type of training and activity the better the improvement in performance
what is the meaning of reversibility?
any improvement made when training will be reversed when you stop training
what is the formula called to calculate you aerobic and anaerobic training zones
karvonen formula
what is your aerobic training zone?
60%-80% of your maximum heart rate
how do you calculate your aerobic training zone?
220-your age
find 60% of this number
find 80% of this number
this gives you the upper and lower threshold
what is you anaerobic training zone?
80%-90% of your maximum heart rate
how do you calculate your anaerobic training zone?
220-your age
find 80% of this number
find 90% of this number
this gives you the upper and lower threshold
what are the characteristics of continuous training
should be 20 minutes or longer
must not involve any breaks
what are the benefits to health of continuous training?
improves cardio vascular fitness and muscular endurance
reduce chance of heart disease
what is fartlek training?
a type of continuous training involving variations in pace and terrain
what are the benefits to health of fartlek training?
improves cardio vascular fitness and muscular endurance
reduces the risk of heart disease
what is circuit training?
a chain of different activities that can be selected to suit individual or activity requirements
what components of fitness does circuit training develop?
all components
what are the characteristics of interval training?
high intensity work
followed by rest
health benefits of interval training
weight loss
can be adapted to work on cardio vascular fitness
what is interval training?
periods of intense activity with break in the session for recovery
what is Plyometric training?
muscle exerts maximum short intervals of time
what are the characteristics of Plyometric?
jumping high intensity short duration breaks between sets spead not endurance
