muscular endurance
the ability of a muscle or group of muscle to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time
muscular endurance
sporting examples
rowing
muscular endurance
fitness test
30/60 second push up test
30 second sit-up
modified pull up test
muscular endurance
training methods
continuous training
fartlek training
long interval training
circuit training
HIIT training
muscular endurance
affecting factors
fatigue, fibre type, age, gender
flexibility
is the range of movement around a joint. it is the combination of the skeletal and muscular systems to allow full range of motion for joint movement and muscle actions
flexibility
sport examples
gymnast
dancers
swimmers
- all sports require a degree of flexibility
flexibility
fitness tests
sit and reach test
trunk rotation test
shoulder and wrist elevation test
flexibility
training methods
static stretching
proprioceptive neural facilitation
dynamic flexibility
ballistic
dynamic stretching
is moving taking a joint through its full range of motion (pre-exercise)
static stretching
taking a joint, muscle to its end range to increase flexibility
(hold)
proprioceptive neural facilitation
most effective way to increase flexibility
ballistic
should only be performed by experienced athletes. ballistic stretches uses momentum or bouncing to take the body part beyond its normal range
agility
combines speed with flexibility and dynamic balance, allowing the performer to change direction with speed and control. rapid whole body movement
agility
sport examples
evading an opponent
changing direction quickly
agility
fitness tests
semo agility test
illinois agility test
505 agility test
agility
training methods
short interval training incorporating a change in direction
anaerobic capacity
the total amount of energy obtainable from the anaerobic energy system ( the combined capacity of the ATP-CP and anaerobic glycolysis system)
total amount of work that can be done by the anaerobic system
anaerobic capacity
sport example
100m sprint
50 m sprint in swimming
sprinting in a team sport
