2
Q
VO2 Max Test
A
Measures
- Maximal oxygen consumption in Litres per Minute per Kilogram of body weight
- Maximum heart rate
- Ventilation rate
- Efficiency of muscles
3
Q
Lactate Threshold Test
A
- Identifies lactate inflection point (Point where lactate begins to accumulate in blood)
- Helps athlete set accurate training zones
- Helps aerobic training to help body recovers from lactate overload
4
Q
Biomechanical Analysis
A
- Analyse techniques to ensure movement is efficient and safe
- Saves energy and provides athlete with advantage
5
Q
Other Training Innovation
A
- Heart Rate Monitors
- GPS Devices
- Video Analysis
6
Q

Q
Equiptment Advances
A
- Clothing
- Protective Equiptment
- General Equiptment
- Technological Equiptment
8
Q
Equiptment Advances: CLOTHING
A
- Loose or tight
E.G. Clothing in Rugby became tighter so opponents don’t grab hold of it when tackling
