U4 AOS1 Flashcards
what are the 12 fitness components
- aerobic power
-aerobic capacity - muscular power
- muscular endurance
- muscular strength
- speed
-flexibility - co-ordination
- agility
- balance
- body composition
- reaction time
aerobic power- what, test, limit
Aerobic- Themax rate of energy production from the aerobic energy system
-rate at which we can work aerobically
-important as aerobic energy system is predominant supplier for team sports which last for long periods of time , increase max aerobic steady state to resist fatigue
respiratory system- health of lungs, large lung cap
cardio- increased cardiac output
Gender - Males typically have larger bodies and muscles, so can uptake, transport and utilise more oxygen, increasing their aerobic power.
- vo2 max
-20 m shuttle run test
anerobic capacity- what, test, limit
total amount of energy obtainable from anerobic energy system
-cp stores/amount stored in muscles
- gender- male greater muscle mass, lactate tolerance
test- phosphate recovery-ability to recover between sprints and produce the same level of power repeatedly. The test involves eight flat-out sprints every 30 seonds (each sprint lasts seven seconds, with 23 seconds recovery). See what cone u get to when 7 seconds is up
- 300 m shuttle run test
muscular power- what, test, limit
-The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert a maximum amount of force in the shortest period of time.
Power = Force x velocity
It relies on:
T eam sports like basketball require a high level of muscular power.
–Muscular Strength- The stronger an athlete is the more force they can create
Fibre type and recruitment
-Fast-twitch need to be recruited to generate force quickly
- vertical jump, seated basketball throw
muscular strength - what, test, limit
- max force that can be generated by a muscle/group
–NOT dependant on the speed/velocity of contraction.
-Peak muscular force can be obtained by moving slowly (or not moving at all)
-angle of joint, muscle action - eccentric= greatest force
- grip strength dynamometer
muscular endurance - what, test, limit
- ability for muscle to sustain repeated contraction/continue repeat muscle movements, sustain movement in the face of fatigue eg cycling same localized muscle groups repeating movement
-increase ability to reduce fatigue
–removal or tolerance of by products
Fast-twitch fibre are suited for high intensity activities, therefore create fatigue quicker
-Slow-twitch fibres are ‘fatigue resistant’ and suited for extended periods of exercise or activity. - 60 sec push up, 30 sec sit up
speed- what, test, limit
rate of motion d/t
- greater anerobic power will provide energy faster
-muscle action- eccentric= greatest force
- aerobic power- greater will provide energy faster
-lactate tolerance- more that can be tolerated= greater speed
- joint angle optimal angle for strength
- anerobic power- greater will provide energy faster
- 20 m sprint test, 35m sprint
agility- what, test, limit
- speed with flexibility, allows athlete to change direction with max speed and control
-Reaction time to the stimulus
-Position of centre of gravity
athletes with a lower COG tend to be more agile due to greater abilities to balance. - semo agility test
flexibility- what, test, limit
flexibility- capacity of joint to move through full range of motion
static flexibility- not moving, dynamic- moving
-flexibility- reduces likelihood of injury
-joint structure- type of joint can affect type of movement / allowed movement at joint
muscle temp- increased temp increases muscle elasticity
- shoulder and wrist elevation test, sit and reach
reaction time- what, test, limit
- ruler drop test
- time between stimulus and first response
- number of choices
- enviro/distractions- more =slower time
balance- what, test, limit
-The ability to control equilibrium while stationary or moving
- stork stand
-Base of support- the greater the base of support, the greater the equilibrium
Centre of Gravity- by lowering one’s centre of gravity, balance is increased
Core stability- greater core stability leads to improved balance
body composition - what, test, limit
relative proportions of bone muscle and fat within the body
- BMI, waist circumference
-Age – After 40 years of age, people’s metabolism tends to slow down and in women hormonal imbalances can cause them to increase % body fat
Genetics – Body types tend to be 90% genetically inherited
purpose of activity analysis
- gather sport specific physiological data through viewing performance of an individual
- such as energy sytem used, muscle groups, what fatigues the athlete etc
methods of data collection
direct observation, digital recording( reobserve things over again), mobile apps, wearable tech(hr moniter), other tech(eg skycam)
direct observation
- make decisions about demands of the game based off what they see
- locomotion patterns- how and where the athlete moves
-skill frequency - muscle groups/movements utilized
- team tactics and team plays
adv and disadv of direct observation
a- implement immediate change
- highly practical in a variety of settings
d- highly subjective data
- memory limitations for long periods of time
- difficult to observe every single aspect live
digital recording what and adv and disadv
- recording via a digital camera, allows replay and freezeframe performance
a- ability to replay, increased accuracy when compared to direct observation
d- expensive, trained equipment operators often required
