Q

What is quantitative data

A

Information that includes numerical date and facts
Eg.Fitness test
Normally in a lab or fixed setting
Analysis of data is in tables, graphs and statistics
Various instruments are used to collect data eg. Treadmills

Q

What is qualitative data?

A

Generally subjective and involves words rather than data
Looks at feelings, opinions, emotions and sentiments
It can include gathering, describing, observing as well as interviews and media analysis

Q

Subjective

A

is based on personal opinions, interpretations, assumptions and beliefs, for example sub maximal tests tend to be subjective as they use the data gained to predict or estimate therefore not as accurate

Q

Validity

A

Does a test measure what its meant to measure
Eg.the 30m sprint test is a valid test for a sprinters speed as it measures sprinting speed over a 30m distance however you can’t use it to measure cardio

Q

Physiological effects of a warm up

A

Increased pliability and elasticity of muscles
Increased production of synovial fluid around joints
Increased body temperature so HB dissociates easily and enzyme activity increases - better chem reactions
Increased vasodilation of capillaries so more O2 goes to muscles and heart
Increased speed of nerve transmission- improves reaction time
Increase in HR due to adrenaline

Q

Physiological effects of a cool down

A

DOMs can be reduced
Gradually reduces heart rate and breathing rate
Reduces body temp
Keeps O2/blood flowing and waste products like CO2, lactic acid and adrenaline can be removed
Venous return maintained so blood pooling is reduced

Q

Reversibility

A

This means that any adaptation which is gained can be lost if training stops
It is commonly known as detraining or the use it or lose it principle

Q

Recovery

A

Rest days are vital for the body to refuel, repair and adapt
Sufficient rest is essential for progression
research suggests 3:1 ratio should be used

Q

Glycaemic index

A

Release rate of energy from carbs
High GI= rapid, short bursts of blood glucose (1-2 hrs before)
Low GI= slower,sustained release (3-4 hrs before)

Q

what are the good fats

A

Monosaturated
polyunsaturated

28
Q

what are the bad fats

A

saturated fat
trans fat

29
Q

LDL cholestrol

A

can cause weight gain, HBP and CHD
carries cholestrol to tissues and organs
is in deep fried food, cheese, fatty meat, butter,cake,chocolate,ice cream

30
Q

HDL cholestrol

A

In trout,tuna,mackrel,salmon,olive oil,sunflower oil,nuts and seeds
polyunsaturated and monounsaturated reduce build up of LDL
stops clogging of arteries
carries cholestrol away from tissues and back to liver

31
Q

sodium

A

works in conjunction with potassium to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance within cells
too much will increase BP

32
Q

Iron

A

Required for production of haemoglobin

33
Q

calcium

A

For strong bones and teeth, nerve function, muscle function, correct quantities have shown lower risk of osteoporosis

34
Q

what is glycogen loading

A

6 days before a comp eat high protein diet/ low carbs for three days with increased training, then increase carbs and decrease training

35
Q

what does glycogen loading do

A

increased glycogen stores in muscle/ supercompensation/6-10g per kg of body weight

36
Q

Evaluation of glycogen loading

A

+work harder
+work for longer
+improve performance
+delays fatigue
+endurance improves
-bloating
-nausea
-diarrhoea
-weight increase
-water retention
-lack of energy

37
Q

What is caffeine

A

A mild stimulant found in coffee, tea, cola and common flu or cold remedies

38
Q

evaluation of caffeine use

A

+increase in HV/SV/Q/BP/ alertness and perception of fatigue/improve decision making and reaction time
+increases ability to mobilise and use fats as a fuel so glycogen use can be delayed
-tremors/anxiety/headaches/
muscle and stomach cramps
-vomiting/irregular heart beat/diarrhoea/diuretic
-dehydration/ sleep deprivation

39
Q

what is creatine monohydrate

A

A creatine supplement that increases threshold of ATP/PC system

40
Q

evaluation of creatine monohydrate use

A

+increased capacity to perform explosive or strength related exercises so you increase your max strength and lean muscle mass
+benifits people who use weight training
-abdominal cramps/water retention/bloating
-dizziness/diarrhoea/nausea

41
Q

sodium bicarbonate/ soda loading - what is it?

A

It is an antacid
this increases the buffering capacity of the blood
this neutralises lactic acid and hydrogen ions which reduces acidity in the blood

42
Q

evaluation of soda loading

A

+bicarb blocks the conversion of lactate into lactic acid. this means it prolongs time to exhaustion and delays fatigue
+440m-1500m performer, rowing, team sports and lactic acid system performers
-stomach issues
- pain, cramping, diarrhoea, bloating

43
Q

what does FITT stand for

A

Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type

44
Q

Frequency

A

This means how often the participant will train
Recommended guidelines are 3-5 times a week for health and 6+ per week for athletes

45
Q

Intensity

A

This means how hard you work in training
usually stated in terms of % MHR or RPE
can also be % 1RM for weight training

46
Q

Time

A

Length of each training session or exercise
Depends on intensity of session and fitness
Recommended 50-60mins

47
Q

Type

A

this refers to the method of training

48
Q

macrocycle

A

plan per session/ few weeks
preparation- quantity over quality

49
Q

mesocycle

A

plan working off of base phase, longer term prep- few months- specific

50
Q

microcycle

A

plan per session

51
Q

pre season

A

prep stage where training gradually increases

52
Q

competitive season

A

many competitions
tapering

53
Q

tapering

A

less training, increased quality

54
Q

off season

A

base training, recovery and rest

55
Q

periodisation

A

splitting year up into blocks of training- link to season/training phases
can be based on major events like world cups/olympics
double periodisationallows to peak twice in a season eg. nationals then internationals

56
Q

Benifits of periodisation

A

improves physiological preparedness for comps-reaching peak
specific fitness/ skill components can be targeted

57
Q

Acute injuries

A

symptoms occur quickly
usually caused by sudden high force/change of direction/collisions/contact with others or objects
can involve one or more tissue type
swelling,bruising, pain,hot,malalignment,bleeding,loss of function, increased joint laxity

58
Q

what do sprains affect

A

ligaments- twist, roll

59
Q

what do strains affect

A

muscles-pulled/torn in an eccentric contraction
sudden change of speed, high intensity,overuse

60
Q

what is a joint dislocation

A

where joint surfaces separate in an abnormal way
symptoms- swelling, bruising,discoloured,strange shape, loss of motion, pain, numbness around area, tingling feeling.
impact, falls, contact

61
Q

what causes chronic/overuse injuries

A

Repetitive frequent forces
repetitive training
repetitive movement patterns
not enough recovery time
sudden, rapid increase in training load

62
Q

intrinsic causes of injury

A

age
sex
bodyweight
muscle weakness
poor flexability
malalignment of body parts
joint weakness/ hypertrophy

63
Q

extrinsic causes of injury

A

Poor technique in training
over training
playing surface
equipment (defect/inappropriate)
inappropriate footwear
environmental conditions

64
Q

why is screening done

A

used to identify/reduce/prevent injury
identify those at risk of medical complications
identify areas of weakness eg. muscular imbalances
create relevant rehab training programmes
prepare performers for their sport
enhance performance
