Les 4/5: Coaching & lesgeven

Question 1

What is an affective reaction?

Answer 1

An emotional response to a situation, reflecting one’s feelings and emotions.

Question 2

What is an anabolic process?

Answer 2

Anabolic processes build organs and tissues. These processes produce growth and differentiation of cells and increase in body size, a process that involves synthesis of complex molecules. Examples of anabolic processes include the growth and mineralization of bone and increases in muscle mass.

Question 3

What is anaerobic glycolysis?

Answer 3

A high-intensity energy system (80-90%) that operates without oxygen but produces lactate, used for short, intense efforts.

Question 4

What is the anaerobic a-lactic system?

Answer 4

An energy system functioning without oxygen and lactate, starting at the first muscle contraction, used in very high-intensity activities (90-100%).

Question 5

What is the aerobic system?

Answer 5

Aerobic System – This system uses carbohydrates (glucose/glycogen) and fats to replenish ATP. Because oxygen is required for the process, energy production takes a little longer but can continue for a much longer duration. Because of the presence of oxygen, no lactic acid is produced.

Question 6

What is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)?

Answer 6

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.

Question 7

What is a coaching voice?

Answer 7

The manner of using voice and forming sentences to communicate effectively with a group.

Question 8

What is focus?

Answer 8

Concentration or special attention given to something specific.

Question 9

What is the General Adaptation Syndrome (G.A.S. model)?

Answer 9

A model describing how the body reacts to stress (like training) in three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion.

Question 10

What is group dynamics?

Answer 10

The interactions and behaviors within and between groups.

Question 11

What is homeostasis?

Answer 11

The body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment, balancing anabolic and catabolic processes.

Question 12

What is intention?

Answer 12

The purpose or goal behind an action, implying deliberate or motivated behavior.

Question 13

What is a catabolic process?

Answer 13

Catabolism, at its core, involves breaking down of complex molecules and releasing energy for the body to use. The anabolic process is the complete opposite of catabolism as it involves creating bigger, complex molecules from smaller, simpler molecules. When it comes to exercise, catabolic exercises, such as running and swimming, break down muscle, whereas anabolic exercises, like strength training, build up muscle. Hormones are important factors that impact anabolism and catabolism.

Question 14

What is morphological adaptation?

Answer 14

Adaptations in body tissues, including muscle growth, fat loss, stronger bones, and tendons, often visible changes in the body’s structure.

Question 15

What are neurological adaptations?

Answer 15

Neural adaptation is the change in neuronal responses due to preceding stimulation of the cell. Because adaptation effects are often profound at both the neural and perceptual levels, it has been widely used as a tool to probe the neuronal signals underlying perception.

Question 16

What is a neurotransmitter?

Answer 16

A chemical substance facilitating communication between nerve cells.

Question 17

What is overload?

Answer 17

A stimulus strong enough in duration and intensity to elicit an anabolic response leading to supercompensation, pushing the body beyond its normal capacity.

Question 18

What is the law of specificity?

Answer 18

The body’s adaptation to training is specific to the type of stress imposed, particularly in how the body is fatigued.

Question 19

What is the S.A.I.D. principle?

Answer 19

Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand: the quality you train is where adaptation occurs, manifesting in either neurological or morphological changes.

Question 20

What is supercompensation?

Answer 20

The improvement in performance when the body has adequately recovered from a training stimulus, leading to an anabolic reaction to catabolic exhaustion.

Question 21

What are the phases in the General Adaptation Syndrome?

Answer 21

Three phases: Alarm (initial reaction to stress), Resistance (adaptation and coping), and Exhaustion (resources depleted, leading to fatigue or injury).

Question 22

What are the three systems of cardiovascular training you can distinguish?

Answer 22

Aerobic (endurance, using oxygen), Anaerobic A-Lactic (high-intensity, short duration, without lactate), and Anaerobic Lactic (high-intensity, producing lactate).

Question 23

What is supercompensation?

Answer 23

The phenomenon where performance improves after recovery from training stress, leading to higher fitness levels than before.

Question 24

What is the S.A.I.D. principle?

Answer 24

Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand: the body adapts specifically to the type of demand or stress placed upon it during training.

Question 25

How do you explain the difference between morphological and neurological adaptation?

Answer 25

Morphological adaptation refers to physical changes in the body’s structure, like muscle growth, while neurological adaptation involves changes in the nervous system, improving efficiency and skill.

Question 26

How would you explain the difference between positive reinforcement and providing points for improvement?

Answer 26

Positive reinforcement involves rewarding desired behaviors to encourage their repetition, while providing points for improvement focuses on identifying areas that need change or enhancement.

Question 27

What is the difference between organization and structure in preparing a lesson?

Answer 27

Organization refers to the planning and arrangement of content, while structure pertains to the way the lesson is formatted and delivered to learners.

Question 28

What is good leadership?

Answer 28

Good leadership involves guiding, motivating, and inspiring others effectively while demonstrating integrity, empathy, and the ability to make sound decisions.

Question 29

Describe the different phases of ‘Loopt ‘t, Lukt ‘t en Leeft ‘t’.

Answer 29

This is a didactic model focusing on preparation (Loopt ‘t), delivery (Lukt ‘t), and evaluation (Leeft ‘t) of a teaching session or lesson.

Question 30

Why is a helicopter view valuable?

Answer 30

A helicopter view offers a broad, comprehensive perspective, allowing for better understanding, decision-making, and problem-solving by seeing the bigger picture.

Question 31

What is a general warm-up?

Answer 31

A general warm-up involves cyclic movements that literally warm up the body, increasing core temperature and muscle temperature.

Question 32

What is a cooling down?

Answer 32

Cooling down involves lowering the heart rate, loosening trained muscles, and mobilizing joints to gradually cool the body after exercise.

Question 33

What is a fixed mindset?

Answer 33

A fixed mindset believes that talents are set and unchangeable, and one must make do with the qualities they have.

Question 34

What is a growth mindset?

Answer 34

A growth mindset believes that everything is learnable and challenges are essential steps towards becoming more skilled, not obstacles.

Question 35

What is the core of a training session?

Answer 35

The core of a training session refers to the most important training stimulus or the main focus of the session.

Question 36

What is a specific warm-up?

Answer 36

A specific warm-up targets the core of the subsequent training session, mobilizing, activating, and practicing parts/movement patterns of the body relevant to the main workout.

Question 37

What is self-efficacy?

Answer 37

Self-efficacy is the confidence in one’s ability to successfully influence their environment by completing a task or solving a problem.

Question 38

Anabolic vs catabolic

Answer 38

Catabolism breaks down big complex molecules into smaller, easier to absorb molecules. Anabolism builds molecules required for the body’s functionality. The process of catabolism releases energy. Anabolic processes require energy.
