Q

respiratory system
explain how it is important to the physiological makeup which impacts the VO2 max

A

strong respiratory muscles and large lung capacities will inspire more air and therefore increase VO2 max

Q

cardiovascular system
explain how it is important to the physiological makeup which impacts the VO2 max

A

the bigger and stronger your left ventricle, more stroke volume and cardiac output which increases blood flow. more haemoglobin content and therefore a greater oxygen delivery will be available for working muscles

Q

muscle cells
explain how it is important to the physiological makeup which impacts the VO2 max

A

a high % of slow twitch muscle fibres will allow more energy to be produced aerobically due to a greater myoglobin store and mitochondria available

Q

What is progression in terms of the principles of training?

Study These Flashcards
A

The training programme should gradually increase overtime to ensure adaptations and ultimately improvement is seen

22
Q

What does tests mean in terms of
Principles of training?

Study These Flashcards
A

The trianing should always start with baseline fitness tests
The same tests should then take place midway and end of programme to check for progression
Much easier to monitor using test data

23
Q

In terms of principles of training what is warm up?

Study These Flashcards
A

The training programme should always ensure that each session begins with a warm up
Reduces risk of injury

24
Q

Define periodisation

Study These Flashcards
A

The organised division of training into blocks each with a goal and a time frame

25
What do you call the organised divisions of training into blocks each with a goal and a time frame?
Periodisation
26
What is the aim of periodisation?
1- the performer reaches their physiological peak at the correct time 2- to avoid injury or burn out 3- their training is structured to give realistic and achievable goals
27
In terms of the principles of training, what is cool down?
The trianing porthole should ensure that each session finishes with an active cool down This prepares body for rest and reduces the risk Of OBLA
28
What is micro cycle?
A short term training plan Typically one week Tia curve short term goals E.g a swimming improving her dive
29
What is meso-cycle?
A mid term training plan Typically 6 weeks to achieve a mid term goal E.g swimmer improving her muscular endurance
30
What is macro cycle?
A long term plan Typically lasting 1 year to achieve a long term goal E.g a swimmer Improving her PB time in time for comp
31
What is mega cycle?
A long term training plan for elite athletes Typically 4 years To achieve Olympic gold medals type goals
32
What are the three main phases on the competition season?
-preparation phase (off season and pre season) -competitive phase (comp season) -transition phase (transition season for R&R)
33
What’s the goal for the preparation phase?
6-8 weeks to get into peak physical fitness in preparation for the start of the season
34
What is part 1 of the preparation phase? During off season?
Athletes focus on general conditioning programme to maintain a base of fitness ready for pre season training
35
What is part 2 of the preparation phase during pre season?
Progressive over load begins to ensure the athlete is ready for the start of the season. This will focus on sport specific fitness and move into condition games etc in prep to the start of the season
36
What’s the aim for the competitive season?
Plan specific tactics for certain comps and peak at the right times
37
What is part 1 of the competitive phase?
The trianing load reduces l Rest days to ensure injury free And athletes focus of strategies and team tactics
38
What is pert 2 of the competitive phase?
Tapering is included into the orphaned to ensure the athletes are perfect for the key games / finals / events etc
39
What is tapering?
Maiming the intensity of training sessions but decreasing the volume by approx a third to probate for competition
40
What’s the aim of tapering?
To PEAK at the right time
41
Tapering What does it actually mean?
Reducing intensity prior to key match
42
Why do People really taper?
The ensure glycogen levels are full Or reduce fatigue (aid recovery) leading up to event
43
What are the positives of tapering?
Optimised performance due to increase in RBC oxygen capacity /buffering ability /maximised energy stores
44
What’s bad about tapering?
-Performer may feel Lethargic due to reduced intensity -They miss the exercise endorphin release -Possible weight gain
45
What is the aim of the transition phase?
2-4 week recovery period after the seasosomefimes a different activity to aid motivations whilst maintaining fitness
46
What is part 1 of the transition phase?
-Athletes behind rest and relaxation so their body is rested and they have a healthy life style balance -includes low level intensity of aerobic training like swimming or cycling -ideal time for treatment of injuries
47
What’s part 2 of the transition phase?
As the preparation phase approaches, athletes will begin to gradually Increase their training in preparation
48
What is capillarisation?
Formation of a network of capillaries Result of aerobic training
49
How does age affect VO2 max score?
Elasticity deteriorates in your -heart wall -blood vessel walls -lung tissue walls Therefore this reduces efficiency to inspire and transport oxygen From age 20 VO2 max score- every year it declines by 1%
50
How does gender affect VO2 max?
Boys have a 10-15 ml/kg/min higher VO2 max due to 1. Better oxygen carrying capacity -larger lung capacity -Higher SV and CO 2. Boys have a better oxygen utilisation capacity due to -more slow twitch muscle fibres -greater density of mitochondria
51
How does your training regime effect VO2 max?
Taking part in regular aerobic training can increase your VO2 max by up to 20% -increase strength of respiratory muscles -increase SV and decrease resting HR -increase number of slow twitch muscle fibres and mitochondria
52
What are the 4 aerobic capacity tests?
1. Direct gas analysis 2. The 12 min Cooper test 3. The queens college step test 4. The multi stage fitness test
