Q

adaptation

A

This happens during your recovery from training. Your body builds itself bigger and better to be able to cope with training loads. Your body adapts to training.
The principle of adaptation refers to the process of the body getting accustomed to a particular exercise or training program through repeated exposure

Q

reversibility

A

Q

disadvantages of circuit training

A

many exercises require equipment, space required, can only be conducted where appropriate facilities/equipment are available,may require health and safety monitoring

37
Q

FITT principle can be applied to continuous training by….

A

running more per week, running faster, run for longer each time, change activity (swimming or cycling)

38
Q

FITT principle can be applied to fartlek training by….

A

shorter rest with longer sprints, go around twice or more, do it for longer and increase per week, vary amount of each speed or change the gradient

39
Q

FITT principle can be applied to interval training by….

A

do the activity more per week, make it faster with shorter rests, make it last longer, longer sprint with shorter rest or change activity (swimming or cycling)

40
Q

FITT principle can be applied to circuit training by….

A

doing it more times per week, do more reps of each activity in the time given, each activity for longer, change the exercises in the circuit

41
Q

how can intensity be measured during exercise?

A

borg scale (rpe) and bmp

42
Q

what is heart rate measured in?

A

beats per minute

43
Q

how do you caculate HR max?

A

220 minus your age

44
Q

how do you calculate an individuals aerobic training zone?

A

find 60% and 85% of your HR max

45
Q

what benefits do athletes get from training in their aerobic training zone?

A

develops cardiovascular fitness

46
Q

explain how the Borg scale works?

A

athlete selects a number between 6-20 based on the intensity they think they’re working at. 6 being very very light and 20 being very very hard

47
Q

what can the Borg scale also be known as?

A

RPE

48
Q

Disadvantages of the borg scale?

A

can be subjective and need experience for accurate ratings

49
Q

how can you calculate HR by using the borg/RPE scale?

A

RPE x 10

50
Q

what types of training would have a high intensity? low intensity?

A

circuit has a high intensity and continuous training is low intensity

51
Q

what are the three types of flexibility training?

A

static stretching
ballistic stretching
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching

52
Q

what is static stretching?

A

helps reduce the injury and muscle soreness.

can be done 2 ways.

53
Q

what are the two types of static stretching?

A

active stretching= independently stretching yourself

passive stretching= getting help from another person or object with stretching.

54
Q

which sports performers require a high level of flexibility?

A 
most sports require good level of flexibiliy
gymnasts
athletes
dancers
skaters
55
Q

what are the advantages of static stretching?

A

safest form of stretching
easy to carry out
performed by someone with any level of fitness

56
Q

what are the disadvantages of static stretching?

A

can only stretch muscles within the bodies natural range of nation.
not physically exerting so it cant always be beneficial as a warm up.
not effective for certain muscle

57
Q

what is ballistic stretching?

A

force of limb movement to stretch beyond normal range of movement. usually fast and jerky. Normally in a warm up

58
Q

which sports performers require a high level of flexibility in ballistic stretching?

A 
ballistic stretching requires flexibility with good range of motion for benefit.
gymnastics
hurdles
football
dancing
59
Q

what are the benefits of advantages of ballistic stretching?

A

can be made sport specific

allows muscle to be stretched beyond normal range

60
Q

what are the disadvantages of ballistic stretching?

A

can cause injury
not effective way to stretch certain muscle groups
often performed incorrectly

61
Q

what if PNF training/

A

advanced form of passive stretching which is often in rehabilitation programmes. A partner applies pressure for 6-10 seconds, muscle is relaxed and then pushhed again but further than before.

62
Q

PNF training sport activities examples?

A 
gymnastics
tennis
squash
dancing
skating

used to develop sport specific skills and explosive power, speed and strength
lots of explosive movements
increase intensity by increasing repitions

66
Q

which sports performers would benefit from plyometric training?

A 
volleyball
netball
high jump
long jump
useful for sports when you need maximal force when muscle contracts eccentrically (lengthens) and then contracts concentrically (shortens)
67
Q

advantages of plyometric training?

A

can be adapted to suit many sports

can improve muscular speed and power

grip dynamometer

71
Q

how would you test flexibility?

BIA, BMI and skinfold test

75
Q

how does the grip dynamometer work?
