Q

Test protocol for lactate threshold test

A

Athlete performs at steady pace.

Exercise intensity is ⬆️ at 3 min intervals.

Blood sample is taken from finger at each stage.

Critical level = Lactate threshold.

Higher intensity reached = more the body has adapted to buffering lactic acid.

Q

Test protocol for Wingate 30 sec cycle test

A

Cycle ergometer is set up w/ resistance in proportion to athlete’s body weight.

Athlete cycles at max effort for 30 secs

Number of revolutions pedalled every 5 secs is counted by computer.

Results show average power over 30 secs, peak power and the fatigue index.

25
Test protocol for the MSFT
Exact 20m distance marked on flat surface, Shuttles 20m keeping in time with the 'beeps'. Beeps become progressively faster Subjects continue to run to exhaustion Level reached is compared to normative tables and a predicted VO2max value.
26
Test protocol for the Harvard step test
20 inch high bench Metronome to step up and down at a rate of 30 steps per minute for 5 mins. Number of heart beats are counted between 1 and 1.5 mins after completing test. - Used to calculate Fitness index.
27
Test protocol for 1 rep max
Select free weights for the specific muscle group Weight is ⬆️ until failure. Score is compared to normative data
28
How do you train for muscular endurance?
60% of 1 rep max
29
Define fartlek training
Training at various intensities at different distances often at different gradients. Used to develop all energy systems.
30
Define plyometric training
Max intensity activity of relatively short period of time, usually no more than 10 sec with rest periods. Involves exercises including 3 phases: - Eccentric contraction - Amortisation (quick change from up to down or left to right) - Concentric contraction
31
Define mobility training
Involves stretching to improve range of movement.
32
What are the types of stretching in mobility training?
Active - Independent Passive - External resistance provided Ballistic - bouncing in and out of a stretched position (adv. performers only)
33
Define the PNF
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation Active & Passive partner stretching technique that overrides the protective stretch reflex.
34
What must coaches follow when designing a training program?
SPORV and FITT
35
What does SPORV and FITT stand for?
Specificity Progression Overload Reversibility Variance Frequency Intensity Time Type
36
Define specificity
Must be matched to the needs of the sporting activity, incl. aerobic thresholds and muscular groups.
37
Define progressive
Start slowly and gradually ⬆️ amount of exercise
38
Define Overload
Fitness can be improved by stressing body more than normal to cause adaptations
39
Define reversibility
Any adaptations from training will be lost when training is stopped or reduced
40
Define Variance
Keep training interesting
41
List 4 reasons to warm up
Reduces chance of injury Speeds up nerve conduction ⬆️ Blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles ⬆️ concentration (mental prep)
42
What is the oxygen like at higher altitudes?
Partial pressure of oxygen is reduced. Still 21% oxygen but atmosphere is thinner so less oxygen available.
43
How does body adapt to the lack of oxygen in altitude training?
Increases the production of RBCs by an increased secretion of the erythropoietin (E.P.O) hormone Oxygen carrying capacity ⬆️ VO2 max ⬆️ Myoglobin levels ⬆️ Lactate buffering capability in muscle tissue ⬆️
44
How long do benefits from altitude training remain?
2-8 weeks after returning to sea level
45
What are the 3 methods of altitude training
Live high, train high Live high, train low Live high, train high/low
46
Negative to live high, train high as a method of altitude training
Difficult to keep intensity of training high due to fatigue
47
Explain live high, train low as a method of altitude training
Sleep high to cause adaptations and then train low to keep intensity of training Hugh and maintaining the neuromuscular adaptations (capillary and mitochondrial density)
48
Explain live high, train high / low as a method of altitude training
Carry out easy / moderate training at high altitude Maintain high intensity of training by returning to low levels for hard workouts 1-3 times a week.
49
List examples of artificial altitude training
Altitude tents / chambers High altitude houses
50
What are the two types of artificial altitude training
Intermittent hypoxic exposure - regular exposure to low O2 conditions Intermittent hypoxic training - regular training in low O2 conditions
51
List 4 problems to altitude training
Variation in the benefits to different people ⬇️ in plasma volume = ⬆️ bloody viscosity ⬆️ in ventilatory response (breathing harder due to lack of available oxygen) Can’t train as hard or recover as quickly
52
List 4 effects to training in extreme heat
⬆️ sweating = dehydration ⬆️ blood viscosity = blood flow ⬇️ Cardiovascular drift (gradual increase in HR over long duration exercise) Reduced amount of nutrients to working tissues - fatigue
53
What are the adaptations from acclimatisation training in extreme heat
⬆️ sweat response ⬆️ blood volume and flow to skin
54
List 3 effects to training in extreme cold
⬆️ blood pressure Muscular strength and endurance ⬇️ Blood flow to skin ⬇️ = vasoconstriction
55
What are the adaptations from acclimatisation training in extreme cold
Improved energy source usage - earlier fat breakdown ⬇️ blood pressure
56
Define periodisation
Organisation of training into phases so an optimal physiological and psychology peak can be reached
57
What are the 3 levels of periodisation
Macrocyle Mesocycle Micro cycle
58
Define macrocyle
Based on long term goals Lasting 1-4 years Split into 3 phases: Preparation phase Competition phase Transition phase
59
Define the preparation phase
General conditioning Competition specific program
60
Define the competition phase
Competition maintenance Tapering
61
Define the transition phase
Rest and recovery
62
Explain the mesocycle
Medium term goals within the macrocyle Usually 1-3 months May have a component of fitness as focus
63
Explain the microcycle
Short term goals within the mesocycle Usually lasts a few weeks Involves a number of training sessions of different volumes and intensities
64
What does tapering and peaking include
Decrease in training volume Maintaining training at competition intensity
65
How long will taper take to occur
1 or 2 weeks prior to competition
66
What 5 regions can the vertebral column be divided into?
Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacrum Coccyx
67
Define a spirometer trace
Piece of apparatus that measures the air capacity of the human lungs
68
Define tidal volume
Amount of air breathed in or out per breath
69
Define expiratory reserve volume
Max amount of air that can be forcibly expired after TV.
70
Define inspiratory reserve volume
Max amount of air that can be forcibly inspired after TV.
71
Define residual volume
Amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal expiration
72
Define vital capacity
Largest volume of air that can be forcibly expired after your deepest inspiration
73
Define minute ventilation
Volume of air moved into + out of lungs in 1 min + dictates CO2 elimination from alveoli.
74
Describe the principle of Progressive overload when planning a training programme
Start slowly + gradually ⬆️ amount of exercise Fitness can only be improved by stressing the body more than normal to cause adaptations Apply Progressive overload by ⬆️ Frequency, intensity + time.
