Q

Explain the Bohr shift

A

It is a shit to the right
When there is an increase in CO2
It causes a reduction of affinity to oxygen

22
Q

Iron

A

Red meat
Helps form haemoglobin
Oxygen has a better affinity to red blood cells

23
Q

Sodium

A

Salts
Helps regulate fluid levels in the body

24
Q

What is the effectiveness of caffeine

A

Increases mental alertness
Reduces fatigue
Fats can be used as energy
Causes dehydration and loosing of fine control

25
What is the effectiveness of creatine
Aims to improve muscle mass Provides atp Can hinder aerobic performance Causes muscle cramps
26
What is the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate
It can delay fatigue Reduces acidity in the muscles Can cause vomiting and cramps
27
Why do performers take drugs
Peer pressure Win at all cost s Not enough detterants Poor role models
28
How to decrease the use of drugs in sport
Educating people Bigger punishments New testing Name and shame negative role models
29
Why take anabolic steroids
Aid storage of protein Promote muscle growth Less fat in the muscle Can train for longer harder Can cause liver damage , loss of testosterone
30
Beta blockers
Help calm individual Improves accuracy and presision They keep heart rate low Can cause tiredness and slower hr affecting aerobic capacity
31
EPO
Natural hormone that produces red blood cells Increases oxygen carrying capacity Can cause blood clotting and strokes
32
Factors affecting stability
Height Area of base Positio; of line of gravity Mass of performer
33
What is periodisation
Dividing the training year into different sections
34
What is tapering
Reducing the volume of training prior to the competitions
35
Peaking
Organising training so that a performer is at their peak bot( physically and mentally
36
What is PNF
Develops flexibility Passive stretching CRAC
37
How can hyperbaric chamber aid a performer
Increased pressure of oxygen Increase in haemoglobin saturation Increase oxygen dissolved in plasma so more to. The injured sight
38
What is cryotherapy
Cooling treatment Causes vasoconstriction When u leaves causes vasodilation allowing fresh o2 to the injured sight
39
Hydrotherapy
Water treatment Decreases the pressure on the weight bearing muscles Helps with muscle relaxation
40
Forces in linear motion
Vertical forces - reaction force + weight Horizontal force - frictional force and air resistance
41
What is angular motion
Movement around a fixed position Dependant on distribution of mass To go slower move away from the centre line
42
Factors affecting projectiles
Speed of release Height of release Angle of release
43
What is parabola
A curve which matches I On both sides
44
How to reduce drag
The velocity of the moving body The cross section area Shape and surface
45
The two types of drag
Surface drag -friction between surface and fluid environment Form drag - forces affecting an object to increase form drag and force
46
What is the Bernoulli’s principle
Where air molecules exert lower pressure the faster they travel
47
Epoc
The amount of oxygen consumed during recovery and rest period
48
What is the fast component in EPOC
Restoration of ATP and desaturation of myoglobin
49
What is the slow component of EPOC
removal of lactic acid and glycogen replenishment
50
How can you work out energy expenditure
Indirect calorimetry - calculates heat in physical changes Lactate sampling - how much lactate is present In blood Spirometer
51
Partial pressure
The pressure excreted by an individual gas when it exits
52
Moment of intertia
Is the distribution of the mass from the axis of rotation
53
Moment of intertia
Is the distribution of the mass from the axis of rotation
54
Angular velocity
The rate of rotation motion around axis of rotation
