Q

What 4 body functions happen with an increase in body and muscle temperature?

A
  1. Nerve transmission (reaction time)
  2. Reduced muscle viscosity (smoother contractions)
  3. Increased strain resistance (warm = greater ability to withstand tension)
  4. Increased nerve receptor sensitivity (kinesthetic awareness)

Q

Should certain events be warm-up specific to their sport?

A

Yes.

Movements in WU should represent movements in actual event. (Sprinting, Throwing, Jumping, Distance)

Q

What is the purpose of a cool-down?

A

A post-exercise component of training used to bring an athlete to a normal state and assist in the first step of the adaptation process.

Q

What are 5 benefits/purposes of a cool-down?

A
  • Waste product removal
  • Decrease muscle temp (slowly)
  • Decrease HR (gradually)
  • Readjust focus
  • Assist in beginnings of adaptation process

Q

Are cool-downs universal or event specific?

A

Event specific.

A distance runners cool down will be different than a sprinters cool-down.

Q

Define BASE OF SUPPORT

A

the area bounded by all points of contact between a body and the support surface

17
Q

List the 4 describing points of FORCE AND MOTION

A
  1. Force causes motion
  2. inertia is directly related to mass
  3. More mass = greater resistance to change (greater force required to move it)
  4. When two bodies interact with each other, they exert equal and opposite forces
18
Q

Define FORCE

A

any influence that causes an object to

undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape. Essentially a push or pull.

19
Q

Define MASS

A

the amount of matter of an object

20
Q

Define INERTIA

A

the tendency of an object to resist change of motion

21
Q

Define ACCELERATION

A

the rate of change of velocity with time

22
Q

Describe how an athlete moves at the beginning of a race.

A

In order for an athlete to start a race they must apply a large amount of force in order to overcome inertia.
Once moving, less force is required to maintain the same velocity because of the athlete’s inertia.
Note: Friction and air resistance are external forces that slow the athlete.

23
Q

List 3 general safety considerations.

A
  1. Track clear of debris
  2. Equipment checks
  3. Clothing checks
24
Q

List 4 safety considerations for running events.

A
  1. Visual and Spatial awareness
  2. Lane designations
  3. Walk back areas
  4. Stopping areas
25
Q

list 4 safety considerations for Jumping events

A
  1. Runway clearance
  2. Take-off area
  3. appropriate landing area
  4. Athletes
26
Q

List 3 safety considerations for throwing events

A
  1. Clear throwing area
  2. Throw and retrieve areas
  3. left or right handed
