what are 5 skills in fitness?
coordination reaction time balance power agility
name the 3 types of speed?
acelerative speed (first 30 meters) pure sprint ( 60 metre sprints) speed endurance ( sprints with short recovery time)
what are the 2 types of balance?
static ( headstand)
dynamic (cartwheel)
what is the definition of aerobic endurance?
the ability of the cardiorespiratory system to work efficiently , supplying nutrients and oxygen to working the muscles during substantiated physical activity
what is the definition of speed?
distance divided by the time taken . speed is measured in metres per second (m/s) .the faster an athlete runs over a given distance, the greater their speed.
what is the definition of strength?
the maximum force ( in kg or n) that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group.
what is the definition of flexibility?
having a adequate range of motion in all joints of the body; the ability to move a joint fluidly through its complete range of movement.
what is the definition of muscular endurance?
the ability of muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance
what is the definition of body composition?
the relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free ( vital organs,muscle ,bone)in the body.
what is the definition of agility ?
the ability of a sport performer to quickly and precisely move or change direction without loosing balance or time.
what is the definition of balance?
the ability to maintain centre of mass of support
what is the definition of coordination?
the smooth flow of movement needed to perform a motor task efficiently and accuration
what is the definition of power?
product of strength and speed expressed as the work done in a unit of time. a strong movement performing quickly.
what is the definition of reaction time?
time taken for a sports performer to respond to stimulus and initiation of their response.
what is the definition of frequency?
how often an athlete trains over a period of time (usually a week , 3 times a week? 4 times a week? 5 times a week?) as the athlete becomes fitter ,this may increase.
what is the definition of intensity?
how hard someone trains. whatever the type of training ,it must be as the athlete becomes fitter ,this may increase.
what is the definition of time?
how long each training session must last in order to be of any benefit. as the athlete becomes fitter ,this may increase.
what is the definition of type?
means the methods of training chosen to achieve a persons particular goals . athletes may wish to improve a component of fitness , so they will pick a type of training to achieve this. (EG , continuous training run to improve aerobic endurance)
what is the definition of progressive overload
gradually increasing the amount of overload so as to gain fitness without the risk of injury.
what is the definition of specificity?
matching training to the requirements of an activity .
what is the definition of individual needs/ differences?
matching training to the requirements of an individual
what is the definition of adaptation?
when you train your body so it gets used to it
what is the definition reversibility ?
your fitness level changes all the time and will go down if you stop training or get injured
