Unit one Flashcards
What is Aerobic endurance?
The ability of the cardio respiratory system to work efficiently, supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained to physical activity.
What is Speed?
Distance divided by the time taken. Speed is measured in meters per second (m/s). The faster an athlete runs over a given distance the greater their speed.
What is Strength?
The maximum force (in kg or N) that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group.
What is Flexibility?
Having adequate range of motion in all joints of the body; the ability to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of movement.
What is Muscular endurance?
The ability of the muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance load.
What is Body composition?
The relative ratio of fat mass to fat free mass (vital organs, muscle, bone) in the body.
What is Agility?
The ability of a sports performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction without losing balance or time.
What is Balance?
The ability to maintain centre of mass over a base of support.
What is coordination?
The smooth flow of movement needed to perform a motor task efficiently`and accurately.
What is Power?
The product of strength and speed expressed as the work done in a unit of time. A strong movement performed quickly.
What is reaction time?
The time taken for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and the intonation of their response.
What is Physical?
Muscular strength Aerobic endurance Speed Muscular endurance Composition Flexibility
What is Skill?
Balance Coordination Agility Reaction time Power
3 types of Speed?
Accerlerative speed (first 30 meters) Pure speed (60 meter sprints) Speed endurance (Sprints with short recovery time)
2 types of Balance?
Static - Headstand
Dynamic - Cartwheel
How can intensity be measured?
Echelle de borg
What is heart rate measured in?
BPM (beats per minute)
How do you calculate heart rate max?
220 - age = heart rate max
How do you calculate an individuals aerobic training zone?
60% - 85% of heart rate max = training zone
What benefits do athletes get from training in their aerobic training zone?
They will improve their certain phisics like components
Explain how the Borg scale works?
Range of 6-20 to show the different levels intensity athletes are working at
Disadvantages of the Borg scale?
Athletes may exaggerate there level of intensity and may not be precise
What is the Borg scale also known as?
RPE
How can you calculate HR by using the Borg/RPE scale?
RPE x 10
What types of training would have high intensity? Low intensity?
High = circuit, fartlec
Low = continuous, interval
What is Frequency? (FITT)
How often an athlete trains over a period of time. (usually a week? 3 times a week? 4 times a week? 5 times a week?) As the athlete becomes fitter this may increase.
What is Intensity? (FITT)
How hard someone trains. Whatever the type of training, it must be carried out at a worthwhile level of intensity. As the athlete becomes fitter this may increase.
What is Time? (FITT)
How long each training session must last in order to be of any benefit. As the athlete becomes fitter, this may increase
What is Type? (FITT)
Means the methods of training chosen to achieve a persons particular goal. Athletes may wish to pursue different types of training
What are Additional Principles? (FITT)
Progressive overload Specificity Individual needs Adaptation Reversibility
What are the basic Principles? (FITT)
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type
What is Progressive overload? (FITT)
Means gradually increase the amount of overload so as to gain fitness without the risk of injury. For example, performing 2 more reps then your card could ask for each time.
What is specificity? (FITT)
Means matching training to the requirements of an activity. Every sport has its own special needs. for example divers and long distance runners will train differently
What are the methods of training?
Continuous
Fartlek
Interval
Circuit
What are the advantages and disadvantages of continuous training?
Advantages - No equipment needed, very cheap and easy to organise.
Disadvantages - Risk of injury on certain terrain, long distance can be mountainous.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Fartlek training?
Advantages - Can be sport specific, easy to organise and carry out, adds variety to training.
Disadvantages - Need to monitor training.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Interval training?
Advantages - Easy to organise, can measure progress and improvement.
Disadvantages - Can become boring, requires a certain level of fitness.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Circuit training?
Advantages - Develop strength and endurance, can be adjusted to suit age, fitness and health.
Disadvantages - Many exercises require equipment, requires a certain amount of health and safety.
What component of physical/skill related fitness links to continuous training?
Stamina, aerobic endurance.
What component of physical/skill related fitness links to Fartlek training?
Speed, aerobic endurance, power.
What component of physical/skill related fitness links to Interval training?
Aerobic, anaerobic endurance.
What component of physical/skill related fitness links to Circuit training
All of the components of fitness can be linked.
How can the FITT principles be applied to Continuous training?
You can vary your training by swimming, cycling and running sprints.
