Strength, flexibility and aerobic capacity

Question 1

Flexibility

Answer 1

Range of Movement (ROM) at a joint

Question 2

Flexibility importance

Answer 2

Reduces risk of injury, maintain/improve posture, develop power, develop max strength, allows full ROM

Question 3

Types of flexibility

Answer 3

Static flexibility: ROM at a joint without reference to speed
Dynamic flexibility: ROM at a joint with reference to speed

Question 4

Factors affecting flexibility

Answer 4

Type of joint, length/elasticity of surrounding connective tissue, surrounding muscle bulk, age, gender, body composition/somatotypes, temp, training

Question 5

aerobic capacity

Answer 5

ability to take in, transport and use oxygen to sustain prolonged periods of aerobic work

Question 6

Vo2 max

Answer 6

The highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during 1 minute of maximal work. untrained average = 40-50 ml/kg/min

Question 7

factors affecting Vo2 max

Answer 7

Age, genetics/hereditary, training, gender

Question 8

Types of strength

Answer 8

Max strength
Explosive strength
Static strength
Dynamic strength
Endurance strength

Question 9

Endurance Strength

Answer 9

ability of a muscle to sustain repeated muscle contraction without fatigue

Question 10

Dynamic Strength

Answer 10

ability of the neuromuscular system to overcome a resistance with a change in length

Question 11

Static Strength

Answer 11

Force applied against a resistance without change in muscle length

Question 12

Explosive Strength

Answer 12

ability to expend a maximal amount of energy in one or a series of movements

Question 13

Maximum Strength

Answer 13

maximum force that the neuromuscular system can exert in a singular voluntary muscular contraction

Question 14

Factors affecting strength

Answer 14

Gender, age, fibre type, cross-sectional area, temp, training, previous injury, warm-up
