What is Aerobic Endurance ?
The ability of the cardiorespiratory system. Heart and lungs pump blood around your body. Supply nutrients and oxygen for marathon runners.
What is Speed ?
Distance divided by time taken. Speed is measured in m/s. the faster the athlete runs over a given distance the greater their speed is.
What is strength ?
The maximum force in kg or N that can generated by muscle or muscle group.
What is Flexibility ?
Having a adequate range of motion in all joints of the body - ability to move fluidly.
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 in the body.
What is Agility ?
The ability of a sports performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction.
What is Balance ?
The ability to maintain centre mass over a base of support.
What is Coordination ?
The smooth flow of movement needed to perform a motor task efficiency and accurately.
What is Power ?
The product of strength and speed expressed as the work done in unit of time, strong movement performed quickly.
What is Reaction Time ?
The time taken for a sports performer to respond to a stimulus and the initiation of their response.
What is Physical ?
Body composition Muscular strength Speed Flexibility Aerobic endurance Muscular endurance
What is Skill ?
Reaction time Balance Coordination Power Agility
3 types of speed
Accelerative speed first 30 meters
Pure speed 60 metre sprints - bolt good at this
Speed endurance Sprints with short recovery time
2 types of balance
Static - headstand
Dynamic - Cartwheel

What is frequency in FITT ?
How often an athlete trains usually a week. When athlete is fitter this will increase
What is intensity in FITT ?
How hard someone trains. Whatever the type of raining it must be carried out worthwhile level of intensity.
What is time in FITT ?
How long each training session is or last to benefit the person.
What is Type in FITT ?
Means the methods of training choose to achieve a persons goals. Athletes may choose to improve a component of fitness, so they will pick a type of training to achieve this. ( E.G continues training run to improve Aerobic endurance.
What is progressive overload ?
Means gradually increasing the amount of overload so as to gain fitness without the risk of injury.
What is Specificity ?
Means matching training to the requirements of an individual.
What is individual needs/ differences ?
Matching training to the requirements of an individual.
