A
  • enables coaches and performers to make important links bw training and actual perf.
  • determines physical requirements of a sport (energy systems , muscle groups and fitness components)

Q

what happens if X activity analysis

A
  • not know spec requirements of the game - training program will not be as specific - waste times on unimportant MG, ES, FC - X improve as much as they could

Q

direct obs evaluate

A

+ immediate feedback - quicker impact on performance and easier to organise (die to decrease in equiptment)

  • not as accurate - can be subjective and need expertise

Q

factors affect strength muscular

A
  • age - peak at 30 increased mm
    -sex - increased testosterone
  • muscle fibre type - greater % fast twitch
  • muscle size - increase force generated/ mf recruited
  • type of contraction - isometric = greatest force without movement

35
Q

factors affecting muscular endurance

A

-sex= males increased aerobic capacity and musc strength - larger muscles and VO2
-muscle FT = increase % slow twitch - higher intensities aerobically and contract repeatedly
- LA tolerance = greater LA tolerance - increase anaerobic capacity - more by products tolerated - longer high intensity efforts

36
Q

aerobic power

A

max rate of energy produced in the presence of O2

37
Q

fitness tests aerobic POWER

A

Vo2 max
Yoyo test
20m shuttle run test
Coopers 12 minute run

38
Q

factors affecting aerobic power

A
  • age = peaks at mid 20s - increased elacticity of the lungs , increase VO2 max , increase haemoglobin and mitochondria (increased muscle mass)
  • sex= males larger lungs and O2 / larger muscle mass and mitochondria
  • MFT = slow twitch = use more O2 bc increase mit. and myoglobin - increase aerobic
39
Q

increased mitochondria links with what ?

A

increased muscle mass

40
Q

anaerobic capacity

A

total amount of energy obtainable fro, anaerobic energy systems
eg sprints , repeated efforts

41
Q

0 -5 m sprints is what fitness component

A

muscular power

42
Q

anaerobic capacity tests

A

Repco peak power test
30 second wingate test
phosphate recovery test

43
Q

factors affecting anaerobic capacity

A
  • age - peaks at 30 - decreases due to decrease muscle mass and protein synthesis
  • sex = males have increased muscle mass and places to store CP and anaerobic enzymes - increased anaerobic ability
  • MFT - % fast
  • LA tolerance
44
Q

muscular power

A

the ability of muscle or a muscle group to exert a mix force in shortest period of time
eg. jump / pass

45
Q

fitness test muscular power

A
  • vertical jump test
  • basketball throw
    -margaria kalamen stair sprint
46
Q

factors affecting muscular power

A

-age = peak 30 - protein / muscle mass
- sex = increase testosterone / mm
-MFT= % of fast twitch
- muscle length = muscle prestretched - increase length - eccentric then concentric contract with greater power

47
Q

speed - anaerobic

A

ability to move from one point to the other in the shortest possible time
eg sprints >5 m

48
Q

fitness tests speed

A

20m/35m/50m sprint

49
Q

speed factord affecting

A
  • age = 30 peak
  • sex = men increase muscle mass and testosterone - increase mit and 02 to muscle
  • MFT = fast twitch - generate greater force
  • flexibility - greater stride length greater speed - get further each sprint
  • reaction time
50
Q

agility

A

ability to change direction quickly without losing balance
eg. dodges , boxing

51
Q

factors affecting

A

-MFT= % fast
-RT = quicker rt - quicker speed + ag.
-sex = increase t and muscle mass - generate greater force and speeds
- age - peak at 30 - protein and mm

52
Q

fitness tests agility

A

semo , illinois and 505

53
Q

flexibility

A

the range of movement possible around a joint

54
Q

types of flexibility

A
  • static - stationary
  • dynamic - whilst moving
    -ballistic - dynamic while moving /bouncing
  • PNF - hold isometric against resistance
55
Q

fitness tests flexibility

A
  • sit and reach test
  • trunk flexion and rotation
  • shoulder and wrist elevation
56
Q

factors affecting flexibility

A
  • sex - females better bc oestrogen - greater joint laxity and less muscle mass
  • age - flex decrease as age increases bc inactivity and decrease lubrication -> pain and aches in their joints
  • warm up
  • joint structure eg ball and socket joint
  • injury - increase scar tissue inhibit flex.
  • resting muscle length
57
Q

body comp

A

ratio of fat to non fat components (muscle/bones) of the body

58
Q

types of bodys

A

-ectomorph- low fat and non fat - skinny
-mesomorph - low fat and high non fat - muscly
-endomorph - high fat and low non fat - spongy

59
Q

av body comp

A

males - 15-20% body fat
females- 25% body fat

60
Q

test for body comp

A

skinfold caliper
BMI chart
weight circumfrence

61
Q

factors affecting body comp.

A

-age - increase chance of endomorph as age increases as dec. metabolism
- sex - females - more likely to be endomorphbc increase body fat% and hard to build muscle
- genetics
diet and physical health - pos energy balance more eat than burnt - increase endomorph

62
Q

coordination

A

ability to execute a sequence of movements smoothly and accurately

63
Q

factors affecting coordination

A
  • poor eyesight and hearing
  • stage of development
64
Q
