chapter 17

Question 1

speed

Answer 1

the skills and abilities needed to achieve high movement velocities

Question 2

agility

Answer 2

the skills and abilites needed to explosively change movement velocities or modes

Question 3

speed-endurance

Answer 3

the ability to maintain maximal movement velocities or repeatedly achieve maximal accelerations and velocities

Question 4

special endurance

Answer 4

the ability to repeatedly perform maximal or near-maximal efforts in competition specific exericise:relief patterns (work:rest ratios)

Question 5

2 qualities of competition specific exericise relief patterns

Answer 5

1: the metabolic power to executs specific techniques at the targeted effort level
2: the metabolic capacity to do so repetitively

Question 6

force equation

Answer 6

mass x acceleration

Question 7

impulse

Answer 7

the change in momentum resulting from a force

Question 8

power

Answer 8

the rate of doing work the product of force and velocity

Question 9

sprinting error: hands too wide

Answer 9

Cause: misunderstand of movement
Correction: place arms at shoulder width

Question 10

sprinting error: not getting 90 degree of front leg

Answer 10

cause: hips too high or low
correction: adjusting hip height

Question 11

sprinting error: too much weight distributed to arms

Answer 11

Cause: improper weight distribution
Correction: raising hips upward more than forward and straightening arms and distributing weight evenly

Question 12

sprinting error: unnecessary tension in dorsal muscles

Answer 12

cause: misunderstanding of movement
correction: normal head alignment eyes focused on group

Question 13

sprinting error: “jumped” first stride

Answer 13

cause: push off angle too high; upward thrust too steep
correction: increase forward lean, head alignment, accelerate leg

Question 14

how can force be expressed

Answer 14

impulse and power (mass x acceleration)

Question 15

the final movement velocity targeted when a mass is being accelerated

Answer 15

velocity specificity

Question 16

what has a greater force lengthening or shortening?

Answer 16

lengthening

Question 17

muscle shortening depends on

Answer 17

1: contractility and exitability of neuromuscular system
2: muscle architecture
3: motor unit composition; cross bridge rates

Question 18

how to improve SSC

Answer 18

1. skillful multijoint movements
2. work/rest exercises
   plyometric and heavy reisiance training

Question 19

complex training

Answer 19

alternating SSC with heavy resistance

Question 20

what is postactivation potentiation

Answer 20

the phenomenon of complex training that enhaces the SSC

Question 21

which is untrainable: reactive ability of reaction time?

Answer 21

reaction time

Question 22

braking is during what movement

Answer 22

eccentric

Question 23

propulsion is during what movement

Answer 23

concentric

Question 24

starting position for sprinting

Answer 24

even distribution of body weight

front knee angle 90 degree and rear knee 110-130

Question 25

push-off sprint position

Answer 25

rear leg produces greater initial force

Question 26

head position sprinting

Answer 26

relaxed neutral position

Question 27

flight phase for sprinting

Answer 27

maximum velocity

Question 28

training objective for sprinting-minimize braking forces

Answer 28

plant food directly beneath the center of gravity

Question 29

training objective for sprinting emphasize brief groud touching to increase stride rate

Answer 29

high level of explosive strength

Question 30

training objective for sprinting emphasize training for hamstring

Answer 30

eccentric knee flexor strength

Question 31

goal of sprinting

Answer 31

to achieve high stride grequency and stride length with explosice push-off and minimal vertical impulse

Question 32

purpose of spring resistance

Answer 32

to improve explosice strength and stride length

Question 33

purpose of sprint assistance

Answer 33

improce stride rate, overspeed

Question 34

a long response is greaster thant ? ground contanct and a short response is less than ? ground contact

Answer 34

.25

Question 35

methods for speed-endurance development supramaximal training

Answer 35

I: greater than competition D: less than competition

Question 36

methods for speed-endurance development maximal training

Answer 36

I: equal to or less than competition D: equal to competition

Question 37

methods for speed-endurance development submaximal training

Answer 37

I: less than compeition D: greater than compeition

Question 38

tertiary methods for speed and agility developmet

Answer 38

mobility strength and spreed endurance training
