Q

Concentric and Eccentric Contraction

A

Concentric causes tension in your muscle as it shortens

Eccentric is when the force applied exceeds the momentary force produced by the muscle.

Q

Role of ligaments, tendons and cartilage

A

Ligaments: bone to bone and keep joints stable
Tendons: muscle to bone and transmit power needed to move the bones
Cartilage: Reduce friction and act as shock absorbers

Q

Cardiac Output

Study These Flashcards
A

Volume of blood ejected by the left ventricle per minute (stroke volume x heart rate)

20
Q

What does myocardial hypertrophy cause

Study These Flashcards
A

A lower heart rate forcing the stroke volume to be increased to keep the same cardiac output

21
Q

Explain process of inspiration

Study These Flashcards
A

External intercostal muscles contract and diaphragm contracts downwards increasing area of thoracic cavity. Lungs pulled outwards through surface tension decreasing the pressure in the lungs and becoming less than the pressure outside the body. Gas is inspired into the lungs.

22
Q

Explain process of expiration

Study These Flashcards
A

Relaxation of intercostal muscles and the diaphragm. The ribs are lowered and the area of the lungs is increased and the pressure of the lungs increases. Air is now forced out to equalise the pressure and expiration takes place

23
Q

Tidal volume

Study These Flashcards
A

Volume of air inspired or expired per breath (ml)

24
Q

Minute Ventilation (l/minute)

Study These Flashcards
A

Tidal volume x f (number of breaths per minute)

25
Short Term Effects on the body of exercise
Increase in temp, Metabolic Rate increase and Lactic Acid Increase in cardiac output Increase in tidal volume and minute ventilation
26
Vascular Shunt
Arterioles that supply muscle tissue experience vasodilation to increase blood flow to muscles and arteries that supply blood to other organs vasoconstrict to reduce blood flow to them. Capillaries open valves to skeletal muscles and close valves that supply other organs
27
Long Term effects of exercise on the body
Tendons strengthened, Muscular endurance increases and hypertrophy occurs Cardiac Output, Bradycardia, Increased capillarisation, Decrease in blood viscosity, Increase in red blood cells. Greater intercostal muscle strength, Gas exchange more efficient and increase in vital capacity
28
What is oesteoporosis
Disease where bones become fragile and can progress painlessly until bones break
29
Principles of Training and their definitions
Specificity - Training undertaken is relevant to the sport Overload - Body works harder than normal so that there is stress and discomfort Progression - Training should become progressively more harder Reversibility - If training is reduced or stopped fitness gained will be lost
30
FITT Principle and their definitions
Frequency - Number of training sessions Intensity - How hard the athlete is training Time - Duration must take into account intensity Type of training - Fulfils specific needs
31
Prehabilitation
Used to describe strength and conditioning exercises for specific muscles that help to reduce risk of injury
32
Ballistic Stretching
Involves using the momentum of a moving body or limb in an attempt to force it beyond its full range of motion
33
Continuous Training
Low intensity | 30mins - 2 hours
34
Fartlek Training
Fartlek means 'speed play'. A form of continuous training. Changes in speed, incline and terrain are used to provide changes in exercise intensity. Aerobic and anaerobic work can be done in the quantities that suit the performer and it is more varied than continuous training.
35
Interval Training
Intervals of work and intervals of rest
36
How to disperse lactic acid
Light jogging
37
Plyometrics (Interval Training)
Involves rapid and repeated stretching and contracting of the muscles to increase strength and power. Used to improve dynamic strength
38
5 factors of a good warm-up
Pulse raising - Increases heart rate and body temperature Mobility - Take the joints through their full range of movement Stretching - Dynamic stretches that include ballistic movements Dynamic Movements - Movements that show a change of direction or speed Skill Rehearsal - Practicing for common movement patterns in the sport such as dribbling or passing drills
39
What is capiliarisation
Process where new capillaries are formed
40
What is mechanical advantage and what levers does provide it
This means that they allow you to move a larger output with a smaller effort First and Second
41
What is the origin
The end of the muscle attached to the bone that is stable. The point of origin remains still when the contraction occurs
42
What is the fixator
Muscle that works with others to stablise the origin of the prime mover.
43
An example of a frontal plane movement (abduction/adduction at the hip)
Jumping jacks or action at the hip during the breast stroke leg action in swimming
43
An example of a transverse plane movement (Rotational)
Arm action when bowling in cricket with rotation at the shoulder joint
44
An example of a sagittal plane movement (up and down movements of flexion and extension)
Leg action in running
45
What are the three axes of rotation
Frontal - Abduction/Adduction - Cartwheel Transverse - Rotation - Somersault Longitudinal - Flexion\Extension - Pirouette in dance
