Q

Define plyometrics

A

Involves repeated rapid stretching and contracting of muscles to increase muscle power, high intensity explosive activities. Muscles can generate more force if they have previously been stretched.
Eccentric phase - stretching the muscle where it lengthens, under tension
Amortisation- time between the eccentric and concentric muscle contraction
Concentric - uses stored energy to increase the force of the contraction

20
Q

Explain the rationalisation and Morden day development of association football

A

Urbanisation
Improved transport
Increased professionalism - broken time payments enabled workers to get time off work to play football
Increased organisation - formation of FA 1863

21
Q

Explain the rationalism and modern day development of lawn tennis

A

Middle class invention
Important activity in the emancipation of women
Middle class - alternative affordable to real tennis
Use of specialist equipment
Use of standardised rules

22
Q

Explain the rationalism and modern day development of track and field athletics

A

Purpose built track and facilities
Exclusion clause to separate modern athletics from old professional
1866- amateur athletic club
1880- amateur athletic association

23
Q

Define both amateur and professional

A

Amateur- play for the love of it, no financial gain. Gentlemen - having wealth, social elite,free time
Professional - person who plays for financial gain,

24
Q

Explain how a coach can help the performer reach optimal levels of arousal

A

Situation,performer and leader characteristics must be considered
R- determined by the situation, P- performers ideal behaviour of the leader, A- leaders action towards the performer
Closer the leaders behaviour is to that expected by performer, greater chance of optimal arousal will be of high quality satisfaction

25
What’s the aim of sport England
Develop sporting habit for life co ordination Investment in county sport partnership programme delivered regionally to meet specific local needs Worth W local authorities, NGB, sports clubs
26
Explain some national partners
Lottery funding - improve the sport on offer for disabled people Street games - create network of national and local levels to strengthen commitment to ‘doorstep sport’
27
What investment has there been in woman and ethnic minorities
Making woman’s sport a major priority financially across the board, “This Girl can’ Sporting Equals aim to help and promote ethnic diversity across sport
28
Discuss the use of caffeine
(+)Stimulates fat metabolism,preserve glycogen stored and increases speed of glycogen restoration, increased mental alertness (-) loss of fine control, insomnia, anxiety and dehydration
29
Define and discuss the use of sodium bicarbonate
HCO3 consumed 1 hour before match, antacid and can increase buffering capacity of the blood (+) neutralises acidity in blood, increases buffering capacity, increases tolerance LA, delays fatigue (-) nausea and gastrointestinal problems
30
Define and discuss the use of glycogen loading
Form of dietary manipulation to increase glycogen stores over and above that which can normally be stored- 1st deplete glycogen stores (+) increased glycogen stores, glycogen stores in the muscle, delays fatigue (-) water retention, bloating, affects digestion, DDP- irritability,can alter training programme
31
Define and discuss the use of creatine mono hydrate
Aims to increase the amount of phosphocreatine, effective for events with high intensity (+) replenishes PC stores, allows ATP-PC to last longer, improves muscle mass (-) muscle, water retention, bloating, hinders aerobic performance
32
Define some vitamins
Fat soluble - A,D,E and K- found predominantly in fatty foods and animal products , stores fat soluble vitamins in the liver and fatty tissues Water soluble vitamins - B and C: fruit and vegetables, not stored in body
33
What are the benefits of goal settings
Increasing motivation, development of task persistence, improve confidence, regulating and sustaining effort
34
What’s the difference between an outcome/ product and task orientated goals
Outcome goal - a goal set against performance of others and based on a result, e.g finish top 3 Task orientated - improvement in technique or performance , doesn’t compare against others
35
Define and compare between performance and process goals
Performance goal - athlete sets a goal to better their own performance rather than comparing to others e.g achieving a PB Process goal - based on improving technique, improve technique on arm action
36
Define the SMARTER PRINCIPLE
Specific - goals should be clear and precise Measured - some form of assessment to occur to aid motivation Achievable - should be attainable- gain self confidence and satisfaction Realistic - goals should be within reach Time bound - short and long term steps, deadline to assess if goal being reached Evaluate -evaluate how and when goal was achieved Re do -target adjusted to ensure success
37
Outline the theories of learning
Behaviourist theory / Operant conditioning - the use of reinforcement to ensure correct responses are repeated Observational learning - acceptable and unacceptable behaviour can be learnt: attention, retention, motor production, motivation Social development theory - intra psychological learning - learning from within after gaining external knowledge from others. Constructivism: Vgotsky - zone of proximal development - what can I do alone, what can I do with help, what can I not do yet Insight learning - using experience and understanding to solve problems relating to the whole skill
38
Describe how you could dissect a motor skill for the analysis of technique
Preparation - allows identification of the technical detail to build leading into Execution - allows the undertaking of the skill leading Recovery - allows the completion and follow through to the next action
39
Summarise 3 memory system that are used in order to perform a motor skill
Short term sensory store - functionally limitless store of info,short period 1-2, selected info passes into the STM Short term memory store - process whereby stimulus can go through the detection,DCR processing period, motor action plan formed Long term memory store- storage in our long term memory with unlimited capacity,recall
40
Discuss how the various skill classification are used to promote the learning of skills + decision making
Different continuum of skills Learner can process info linked to speed of stimulus, enable selective attention, Skills can be broken down Technical detail can be identified
41
Outline 4 reasons why NGB uses formal development routes from talent ID through to elite performances
Provides structure, specialisation, care of the athlete Based on 8-12 years process which builds control of athlete career Funding can be allocated as appropriate to each athlete when required Cater for different stages of athlete development
42
Define broken time payments
Payments made to performers from sport clubs to compensate for the loss of wages Payments which begin the process of professionalism
43
Explain how the structures of 4 different components of cardiovascular system enable them to be suited to their function
Arteries - thick walls,layer of muscle - resist high pressure of blood, allow it to stretch when blood comes through Capillaries - one cell thick, allows gas exchange SAN - allows electrical conductivity - next stage of contraction Ventricles- thick muscular walls - pump blood to ventricles
44
Outline the names of each lung volume
Tidal volume - volume of air breathed in or out per breathe Inspiratory reserve volume - volume of air that can be forcibly inspired after a normal breath Expiratory reserve volume - volume of air that can be forcibly expired after a normal breath Residual volume - volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximum expiration Minute ventilation - volume of air breathed in or out per minute
