Topic 3 Physical Training Flashcards
health definition
a state of complete emotional, physical and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity
fitness definition
the ability to meet the demands of the environment
exercise definition
a form of physical activity done to maintain or improve health and/or physical fitness, it is not a competitive sport
performance definition
how well a task is completed
factors working together between health and fitness
if you take part in regular exercise you can increase your fitness, if your fitness improves then your performance will also improve
factors not working together between health and fitness
if you aren’t healthy enough to take part in regular exercise then your fitness will deteriorate, causing your performance levels to drop, and health benefits will not be gained
what who why how cardiovascular fitness
ability to exercise the entire body for long periods of time without tiring
long distance runners/games players
so they can maintain a high level of performance for the entire period
mainly aerobic activities, require a prolonged additional oxygen delivery
what who why how muscular endurance
the ability to use voluntary muscles many times without tiring
rowers, long distance athletes
so they can maintain a high level of performance for the entire period
mainly aerobic, require repeated use of the same muscles
what who why how flexibility
the range of movement possible at a joint
gymnasts
so that injury is prevented, so skills become easier
allows the performer to reach further without injury
what who why how reaction time
the time it takes to respond to a stimulus 100m sprinters to respond to a gun to get the best start to finish quicker
examples of different stimulus in sports
ball, starting pistol, whistle, opponent, error, dangerous situation
what who why how power
ability to do strength performances quickly trampoliner to do moves quickly and accurately to get the best height to get the best score
power equation
strength x speed
what who why how speed
amount of time take to perform a particular action or cover a particular distance
sprinter/ javelin thrower
race/ speed of the arm to get the maximum distance
to get the best time/score
what who why how agility
ability to change the position of the body quickly while maintaining control of the movement games players to dodge tackles or to get free to perhaps distract the opponent to win a point or the game
three main components of agility
speed
change direction
under control
types of balance
static and dynamic
what who why how static balance
the ability to retain the body’s centre of mass above the base of support
no movement
gymnast
so they don’t wobble during a beam performance
so they get a higher score for execution
what who why how dynamic balance
the ability to retain the body’s centre of mass above the base of support
movement
shot put/ hammer throw
so they don’t step outside of the boundary
so they don’t get disqualified
what who why how co-ordination
ability to move two or more body parts together
tennis player
so they can hit the ball
to win the point
what should the end result be when an action is co-ordinated
efficient
smooth
effective
what who why how body composition
the relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass in the body
long distance runners
so they don’t have too much muscle
as muscle is heavy
it will slow them down as it will be excess weight
what who why how strength
the amount of force a muscle can exert against resistance
weightlifter
to lift heavy weights
to get a better score
what does PAR-Q stand for
Personal
Activity
Readiness
Questionnaire
use of PAR-Q questions
used to make recommendations for training
typical PAR-Q questions
personal physical details (weight)
family health history
known health problems
lifestyle
when are fitness tests used
at the start of an exercise programme to create baseline results
during a programme to monitor how the training is going
at the end to see if the training has worked
reasons for fitness tests
establishing your current level of fitness
identifying your strengths and weaknesses
to plan a relevant training programme
help you set SMART targets
check for improvements
tests for cardiovascular endurance
12 minute cooper run, harvard step test
run for 12 minutes, calculate the distance and compare your results to a rating chart
step up and down onto a bench for 5 minutes, when finished take your HR after 1,2 and 3 minutes, add the HR together and do 100 x 300 divided by the sum of the three heart rates, compare to a rating chart
strength test
grip dynamometer
adjust grip to fit your hand, keep arm beside your body, squeeze as hard as you can, compare results to a rating chart
flexibility test
sit and reach test
use a sit and reach box, sit with your legs straight and soles of feet flat against the box, palms face down one hand on top of the other and reach as far as possible, record the distance reached and compare to a chart
agility test
illinois agility run
set up the course, lie face down at the start , on GO run around the course as fast as possible, record time and compare to a rating chart
speed test
30m sprint
mark out 30m, place a cone at the start and at the end,, record the time taken, compare results to a rating chart
power test
vertical jump test
stand side on to a wall, mark highest point that you can reach, holding chalk jump as high as you can, mark wall at the top of the jump, measure differences between first and second chalk mark, compare results to a rating chart
muscular endurance test
60s sit ups/press-ups
work with a partner, one times and one counts, complete as many as you can in 1 minute, compare to a rating chart
raw data
score from your fitness test
interpret
using the data to provide a rating for your fitness
analyse
break down the test to identify strengths and weaknesses
evaluate
make a judgement about the impact of training by looking at the data
what should be on a data collection sheet
date
name of the test
result
relevant rating
principles of training way to remember
FITT, SPORTI
principles of training
frequency, intensity, time, type, specificity, progressive overload, overtraining, reversibility, thresholds of training, individual needs
progressive overload
gradually increasing the amount of work in training so that fitness gains occur, but without the potential for injury
week 1= 5 sit ups
week 2= 10 sit ups
specificity
matching training methods to the particular requirements of an activity
rower could train using a rowing machine
individual needs
matching the training to the requirements of the person
13 year old would lift different weights to a 25 year old body builder
overtraining
too much training which can lead to injury and prevent improvement
can happen by making sessions too long, inadequate rest between sessions, using a workload that is too high
injury could occur
reversibility
improvement or change that takes place as a consequence of training will be reversed when you stop training
due to holiday or injury
FITT frequency
how often you train, should gradually be increased
training more often can lead to improved performance
FITT intensity
how hard you train, gradually increase
1 set of 5 reps
2 sets of 5 reps
2 sets of 7 reps
FITT time
how long you train, gradually increase
20 mins-25 mins-30 mins
FITT type
relates to specificity, the closer the match between the type of training and the activity the better the improvement in performance
thresholds of training
to maximise the chance of fitness adaptations you should train within your target zone
what is your anaerobic training zone
80-90% of your MHR
what is your aerobic training zone
60-80% of your MHR
what is the Karvonen formula
calculation to find your max HR
how to find your MHR
220-age
sub-maximal
you don’t work flat out and so you can continue to work for longer periods of time
what are methods of training used for
to improve fitness and performance levels
how to find the most suitable training method
your level of fitness
the requirements of the sport
the facilities available
characteristics of continuous training
20 minutes+
no breaks
advantages of continuous training
improves cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance
good for long-distance athletes
disadvantages of continuous training
boring
not good for short distance athletes
characteristics of fartlek training
changes of pace
changes of terrain
advantages of fartlek training
allows the performer to recover so they can work maximally
improves cardiovascular and muscular endurance
reduces chances of coronary heart disease
keeps it interesting
good for games players as there is a constant change of pace
disadvantages of fartlek training
still a variation of continuous so is still boring
not useful for short distance athletes
safe route isn’t easy to find
characteristics of circuit training
stations can be fitness or skilled based
number of stations which can be varied easily
advantages of circuit training
benefits all as it is easily adaptable to the surroundings
can be good for weight loss
interesting and fun
can be done with little or lots of equipment
