What are the AEROBIC COMPONENTS OF FITNESS?
- Localised Muscular Endurance
- VO2 Max
- Maximal Aerobic Fitness
- Submaximal Aerobic Fitness
- Exercise Economy
What are the ANAEROBIC COMPONENTS OF FITNESS?
- Anaerobic Capacity
- Maximal Strength
- Agility
- Strength
- Power
- Co-ordination
- Reaction Time
- Balance
- Flexibility
Define LOCALISED MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
- The ability of a muscle group to sustain repeated contraction
- Against a submaximal resistance
Define VO2 MAX
Highest rate of O2 consumption during maximal exercise
Define MAXIMAL AEROBIC FITNESS
Ability to maintain the upper limit of VO2 max
Define SUBMAXIMAL AEROBIC FITNESS
Ability to maintain high % of VO2 for a prolonged period of time
Define EXERCISE ECONOMY
- Quantity of O2 or energy required to generate a specific amount of power
- To perform a task
Define ANAEROBIC CAPACITY
Total amount of energy obtainable from anaerobic energy systems
Define MAXIMAL STRENGTH
- Greatest amount of force a muscle group can produce voluntarily
- During a single contraction
Define STRENGTH
- Maximal force produced in a muscle
- To apply against resistance during contraction
Define AGILITY
- Ability to move quickly and precisely and move/ change direction
- Without losing balance or time
Define CO-ORDINATION
- Ability to move 2 or more body parts under control
- Smoothly and efficiently
Define REACTION TIME
Time taken to respond to a stimulus through muscular response
Define BALANCE
Ability to retain CoM over base of support when dynamic or stationary
Define FLEXIBILITY
ROM avaliable at a joint
Define POWER. What is the EQUATION?
- Ability to exert maximal force in as short time as possible
- P= Strength x Speed
Define SPEED
- Maximum rate at which an athlete can cover a distance
- Or perform a movement in a chosen period of time
