Q

Name 3 purposes of fitness testing.

A
  • to identify strengths + weaknesses in a performance/the success of a training programme
  • to monitor improvement
  • to show a starting level of fitness
  • to inform training requirements
  • to compare against national averages
    national averages
  • to motivate/set goals
  • to provide variety in a training programme.

Q

Name 3 limitations of fitness testing

A
  • tests are often not sport specific/too general
  • they do not replicate movements of activity
  • they do not replicate competitive conditions required in sports
  • many do not use direct measuring/sub- maximal – therefore inaccurate/some need motivation/some have questionable reliability
  • they must be carried out with the correct procedures to increase validity.

31
What are the advantages of continuous training?
ADVANTAGES : easy to do doesn’t require equipment helps prepare you for sports where you have to play without a break DISADVANTAGES : doesn’t improve anaerobic fitness can become boring
32
What are the advantages and disadvantages of fartlek training?
ADVANTAGES : adaptable to suit different sports DISADVANTAGES : frequent changes mean lack of structure and its easy to skip harder bits and monitor progress
33
What are the advantages and disadvantages of interval training?
ADVANTAGES : easily adapted to improve aerobic and anaerobic DISADVANTAGES : exhausting making it difficult to push yourself
34
What are the advantages and disadvantages of resistance / weight training?
ADVANTAGES : easily adapted to suit different sports many exercises require little / no equipment DISADVANTAGES : puts muscles under high stress levels so can result in pain after poor technique can be dangerous so assistance is needed
35
What are the advantages and disadvantages of circuit training?
ADVANTAGES : you can adapt it to the component you want to improve variety keeps it interesting DISADVANTAGES : takes a long time to set up requires equipment and space
36
What are the advantages and disadvantages of plyometric training?
ADVANTAGES : the only form that directly improves power DISADVANTAGES : very demanding on muscles used need to be very fit otherwise you will get injured
37
What are the advantages and disadvantages of high altitude training?
ADVANTAGES : Improves cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance increases red blood cell count DISADVANTAGES : effects only last for a short period of time can be very expensive altitude sickness = lose training time
38
What is SPORT?
Specificity - matching training to the component of fitness Progression - gradually increasing the level of training Overload - the only way to get fitter is to work your body harder than it normally would, increase frequency, intensity and time Reversibility - improvements will reverse if you stop training Tedium - there needs to be variety otherwise you will become bored / lose motivation
39
What is FITT?
FITT is how you make sure you are overloading Frequency - how often you should train + leaving time to recover Intensity - how hard you should train Time - how long you should train for Type - what exercises and methods of training you should use e.g cardiovascular endurance = running , continuous training
40
How do you calculate maximum heart rate?
220 - age
41
how do you calculate aerobic training zone?
60% - 80% of maximal heart rate
42
How do you calculate anaerobic training zone?
80% - 90% of maximal heart rate
43
How do you train with one rep max to do strength/ power training?
high weight/low reps – above 70% of one rep max, approximately three sets of 4–8 reps
44
How do you train with one rep max to improve muscular endurance?
low weight/high reps – below 70% of one rep max, approximately three sets of 12–15 reps
45
Name 3 considerations to prevent injury.
* a warm up should be completed * over training should be avoided, eg appropriate weight * appropriate clothing and footwear should be worn * taping/bracing should be used as necessary * hydration should be maintained * stretches should not be overstretched or bounce * technique used should be correct, eg lifting technique * appropriate rest in between sessions to allow for recovery.
46
List the names of 3 training seasons :
* pre-season/preparation * competition/peak/playing season * post-season/transition.
47
What are the aims for pre - season?
general/aerobic fitness, specific fitness needs
48
What are the aims for competition season?
maintain fitness levels, work on specific skills
49
What are the aims or post season
rest and light aerobic training to maintain a level of general fitness.
50
What should you do in a warm up :
* gradual pulse-raising activity * stretching * skill based practices/familiarisation * mental preparation * increase amount of oxygen to the working muscles.
51
What should you include in a cool down :
* maintaining elevated breathing and heart rate, eg walk, jog * gradual reduction in intensity * stretching
52
What are the benefits of warming up :
* effect on body temperature * range of movement increased * gradual increase of effort to full pace * psychological preparation * practice of movement skills through the whole range of movement * injury prevention.
53
What are the benefits of cooling down :
* allowing the body to recover * the removal of lactic acid/CO2/waste products * prevent (delayed onset) muscle soreness/ DOMS.
54
What is quantitive data?
deals with numbers
55
Methods for collecting quantitative data :
Questionnaires Surveys
56
What is qualitative data?
deals with descriptions
57
Methods for collecting qualitative data :
Interviews Observations
58
What type of data can be used to compare fitness test results to national averages?
Quantitative data
