preperation and training methods Flashcards
1
Q
Principles of training - SPOVMR ( Specificity)
A
training should be relevant and appropriate for the individual, sport, energy system , muscle fibre type and movement pattern
2
Q

24
Q
aerobic capacity
A
the ability of the body to inspire, transport and utilise oxygen to perform sustained periods of aerobic activity
25
what is aerobic capacity dependent on
the efficiency of the respiratory ,CV and muscular systems
V02 max
26
v02 max
max volume of oxygen inspired, transported and utilised per minute during exhaustive exercise
meausured in ml/kg/min
27
factors affecting v02 max - physiological makeup effect on V02 max
- the greater efficiency of the respiratory + CV system and muscle cells to inspire, transport and utilise 02 the higher V02 max.
-
28
factors affecting v02 max - physiological makeup - explanation
- stronger respiratory muscles and large lungs can inspire more air
- strong and large ventricle increase SV and blood flow
- capillarisation increases surface area for gaseous exchange
29
factors affecting v02 max - age
- from early 20s , v02 max declines 1% per year as elasticity in heart, blood tissue and walls reduce ability to inspire and transport 02
30
factors affecting v02 max - gender
- females have a 15-30% lower v02 max than males as they have higher body fat % , smaller lungs and lower haemoglobin levels
31
factors affecting v02 max - training
- aerobic training will increase v02 max by 10-20%
as causes long term adaptations such as strength of respiratory muscles, levels haemoglobin , myoglobin and mitochondria
32
capillarisation
the formation and development of a network of capillaries to a part of the body
33

ability of the body to apply a force
61
neuromuscular system
the connection between muscles and the NS - is what strength is dependent on
62
static strength
force is applied against a resistance without any movement occurring created by isometric muscle contraction ( plank)
63
dynamic strength
force is applied against a resistance with movement meaning muscles change in length
(triple jump )

67
factors affecting strength - cross sectional area
the greater the cross sectional area the greater the strength
68
factors affecting strength - fibre type
greater % of FG and FOG fibres , the greater the strength over a short period of time as they have large motor neurons which produce more force
69
factors affecting strength - gender
males have higher strength than women as they have higher muscle mass and cross sectional area due to testosterone
70

joint is moved to a full stretch position by the performer with o assistance and held for 10-30s
103
static passive stretching
joint is moved to beyond point of resistance with assiatnce and held for 10-30s
104
isometric stretching
performer isometrically contracts the muscle while holding position for 7-20s with the use of assiatnce
105
effect of isometric strethching
overcomes the stretch reflex and is a fast and effective way to develop flexibility and strength in a muscle
106
negative of isometric stretching
very demanding so should be limited to once every 36 hours
107
PNF stretching
performer completes a static passive stretch whilst isometrically contraction the agonist muscle then relaxes and stretches futher
108
PNF advantages and disadvantages

112
CVD
term for all diseases of the heart and blood circulation that affects 7 million in the UK
113
atherosclerosis
build up of plaque formed by fatty deposits on artery walls which narrows the lumen and hardens the artery walls causing increased BP
114
CHD
atherosclerosis of coronary artery which supply heart with oxygenated blood limiting the hearts ability to respire
115
Heart attack
if a piece of plaque breaks away from an arterial wall a clot may form which could block the coronary artery causing oxygen to the heart to be blocked off
