Question 1

Aerobic power

Answer 1

The body’s ability to continue exercising over long periods using the large muscles of the body. It is also known as aerobic fitness or aerobic stamina/endurance.

Question 2

exercise that lasts longer than five minutes without any rest.

Answer 2

Aerobic training

Question 3

Aerobic training zone 

Answer 3

A level of intensity that causes the heart rate to be high enough to cause training gains, usually between 70 and 85 per cent of its maximum rate.

Question 4

The ability to start, stop and change direction rapidly at maximum speed, without losing balance.

Answer 4

Agility

Question 5

Balance 

Answer 5

The ability to remain stable, whether static (still) or dynamic. (moving)

Question 6

The percentage of fat, water, bone, muscle, skin, and other lean tissues that make up the body.

Answer 6

Body composition

Question 7

Circuit training 

Answer 7

Fitness training method involving a series of activity stations in sequence; designed to improve specific components of fitness.

Question 8

Motor skills component of fitness involving control of movement, such as hand–eye coordination.

Answer 8

Coordination

Question 9

Fitness

Answer 9

Physical capacity to do various physical activities, measured by testing a range of components.

Question 10

The range of motion of specific joints and the muscles that act on them; may be static or dynamic.

Answer 10

Flexibility

Question 11

Frequency

Answer 11

How often physical activity is undertaken.

Question 12

Measurements of intensity include what speed or heart rate (measured as a percentage of maximum heart rate) is achieved during activity.

Answer 12

Intensity

Question 13

Interval training

Answer 13

Periods of work broken up with periods of rest; can be used to train the ATP–CP system or the anaerobic glycolysis system, depending on the intensity of the work period and the length of the rest period.

Question 14

Approximated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, a 15-year-old would have an MHR of 220 − 15 = 205.

Answer 14

Maximum heart rate (MHR) 

Question 15

Mental health 

Answer 15

Relates to emotions, thoughts and behaviours. It involves the functioning of the mind and ability to cope with daily stresses and decision-making.

Question 16

Sub-maximum exercise that increases heart rate and breathing rate somewhat above resting levels

Answer 16

Moderate intensity 

Question 17

Muscular endurance

Answer 17

Ability of a muscle or muscle group to sustain or repeat a force over a long period.

Question 18

A combination of speed and strength. When strength is exerted quickly, it is called power.

Answer 18

Muscular power

Question 19

Muscular strength

Answer 19

Exertion of a single maximum force by a muscle or muscle group.

Question 20

Rely on data or observations.

Answer 20

Objective methods

Question 21

Pedometer

Answer 21

Device that measures the number of steps taken during the day and estimates the distance covered in kilometres.

Question 22

Physiological functioning of the body.

Answer 22

Physical health 

Question 23

Plyometrics

Answer 23

Used to train for power through activities such as bounding and depth jumping.

Question 24

Training principle that requires the workload to be progressively increased at regular intervals; for example, by increasing the weight lifted, the number of repetitions, the distance run or the time over which the activity is performed.

Answer 24

Progression or progressive overload

Question 25

Reaction time 

Answer 25

Time taken to respond to, or initiate movement after, a given signal or cue; for example, a starter’s gun.

Question 26

Also known as a rep; a single effort or performance of an exercise.

Answer 26

Repetition

Question 27

Repetition maximum (RM) 

Answer 27

The heaviest load that can be successfully completed in a given number of efforts or exercises.

Question 28

The ability to recover quickly from difficulties; to be able to `bounce back' from challenges.

Answer 28

Resilience

Question 29

Resistance training 

Answer 29

A type of training that causes muscles to work against resistance from a body part or weight.

Answer 33

Ability to develop and maintain positive relationships with others, including family, friends, peers and colleagues.

Question 34

Training principle that ensures that activities performed within a training program are directly related to the sport or activity being trained. This includes energy systems, components of fitness, muscle groups and movement patterns.

Answer 34

Specificity
