Training planning Flashcards
What is quantitative data?
Data that can be shown numerically.
What is qualitative data?
Descriptive data about feelings.
What is rating perceived exertion (RPE)?
Giving an opinion about how hard you feel your body is working during exercise.
What is objective data?
Data that is factual.
What is subjective data?
Data that involves opinions.
What is the Harvard step test?
Stepping up and down on a bench to set a rhythm for 5 minutes and recovery heart rates are recorded.
What is meant by validity?
The degree as to which the test actually measures what it sets out to do.
What is meant by reliability?
How consistent the test is and whether it can be repeated.
What is a warm-up?
Exercise that is carried out before training to help the body prepare.
What is the first stage of a warm-up?
Cardiovascular exercise to raise HR.
What is the second stage of a warm-up?
The four types of stretching.
What are the four types of stretching?
Ballistic, static, passive, active.
What is static stretching?
Stretching whilst not moving.
What is active stretching?

When a stretch occurs with the help of an external force like a partner or a wall.
What is ballistic stretching?
Swinging or bouncing movements to further stretch the muscle.
What is the third stage of a warm-up?
Practising movements that relate to the sport.
What are five physiological benefits of a warm-up?
Reduce injury, Increase HR, Production of synovial fluid, Movement rehearsal, Muscle temperature increase which increases efficiency of oxygen.
What is a cool down?
Light exercise at the end of the main exercise to keep HR elevated.
What are 3 physiological effects of a cool down?
Flush lactic acid, Reduce DOMS, Prevent blood pooling in the veins.
