Question 6

time
2 types

Answer 6

• length of one training
• length of time of the training program

Question 7

periodisation, tapering and peaking

Answer 7

Periodisation: organising training into a manageable block of periods of work time
Tapering: decrease in training levels in the weeks leading up to the major event. Allows for more recovery time and extra energy storage.
Peaking: refers to the planning of training so that an athlete reaches their optimum readiness at a particular determined time.

Question 8

type

Answer 8

of training method
aerobic
anaerobic
flexibility

Question 9

progression

Answer 9

When the body is comfortable with the workload, progression is required to cause further change, otherwise there is a plateau in performance.

Question 10

frequency

Answer 10

Refers to the number of training sessions per week to ensure improvement

Question 11

maintenance

Answer 11

When athletes reach desired fitness level, can cut back on frequency and still maintain level of fitness but not intensity - intensity of fitness session must be kept

Question 12

individuality

Answer 12

training programs must suit personal differences

Question 13

overtraining

Answer 13

Question 20

medium interval training

Answer 20

Suitable for developing anaerobic glycolysis system when work is between 10-60 seconds
Aim to develop a lactate tolerance/anaerobic
work rest ratio 1:3

Question 21

short interval training

Answer 21

Suitable for developing ATP-PC system when work is less than 10 seconds
Aim to improve speed
Work rest ratio 1:5 - PC system is greatest contributing system

Question 22

high intensity interval training

Answer 22

Short aerobic sessions with periods of high intensity work followed by rest.
Form of aerobic training with periods of high intensity followed by periods of low intensity

Question 23

resistance training

Answer 23

Exercising muscles or muscle groups against resistance.
Aims to build strength, power or local muscular endurance

Question 24

isonertial, isometric, isokinetic

Answer 24

Isoinertial
Constant resistance against the muscle through the range of motion

Isometric
Holding the muscle in one position while the tension works against resistance

Isokinetic
Machines that adjust load as body part works through range of motion

Question 25

plyometrics

Answer 25

Known as the stretch shortening cycle Uses to develop muscular power and helps with speed and agility Involves an eccentric contraction of a muscle followed by a rapid and explosive concentric contraction

Question 26

circuit training

Answer 26

Involves a series of workstations where athletes complete different exercises focusing on muscle groups, energy systems and fitness components

Question 27

flexibility training

Answer 27

Flexibility: the ability to specific joints to move through the full range of motion Muscle temperature must be increased first - warm up

Question 28

static, dynamic, PNF and ballistic flexibility training

Answer 28

Static Safest Hold for 15-30 second Most effective in warm downs Dynamic Slow and controlled movements through the range of motion of the movements that are performed in competition PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) Partner stretches (20% more effective) Isometric contractions for 6 seconds Relax Isometric stretch for another 6 seconds Ballistic Dangerous - only for experiences athletes Moving through range of motion using momentum

Question 29

7 steps to planning a training program

Answer 29

Step 1: Activity Analysis (Fitness components, energy systems and muscle groups) Step 2: Fitness Testing (2x per fitness component) Step 3: Training Methods (Know the application of how) Step 4: Periodisation (Training Cycles) Step 5: Make individual sessions Step 6: Develop timetable Step 7: Evaluate (Critique - positive, negative, suggestion for improvement

Question 30

3 components of a training session

Answer 30

Warm Up Physiological and psychological Prepare body for session Decreased injuries through increasing blood supply to muscles Increase muscle temperature and elasticity Increased heart rate and respiratory rate = increase delivery of oxygen to working muscles Stimulate CNS to psychologically prepare Phase 1: Light aerobic 5-10 minutes (50-60% max HR) Phase 2: Specific exercises gradually build in intensity with Dynamic stretching Conditioning Develop and maintain specific fitness components To ensure optimum development of the fitness components sprint/speed work first strength/[power next while fatigue is low aerobic/muscular endurance last Cool down Light aerobic exercise followed by static stretches (muscle temp is already warm (can use resistance bands and foam rollers) Increase blood and oxygen flow to working muscles, speeding up the removal of metabolic by products and preventing venous pooling and reduction of DOMS

Question 31

what type of data is recorded and why

Answer 31

Physiological data HR, body temperature, distance run, weight lifted, reps, sets, work period, rest period Psychological data How we were feeling before/during/after the session, the level of motivation before, during, after the session Sociocultural data Who with (social support), where, access, transport - to monitor progression and prevent overtraining

Question 32

acute responses to training

Answer 32

Short term (last only for the duration of the training/exercise session. Heart rate Respiratory rate Chronic Adaptations Long term physiological response over a period of time when training is repeated regularly The combined effect of all chronic adaptations is called the training effect.

Question 33

chronic adaptions to training

Answer 33

Changes are dependent upon Type of training (aerobic vs anaerobic) Training responses are specific to type fo training Frequency, duration and intensity The greater these are the more pronounces the adaptions are (however must consider overtraining Hereditary factors

Question 34

cardiovascular adaptations to aerobic training goal and 3

Answer 34

goal = increase o2 transport - cardiac hypertrophy enlargement of left ventricle = ability to hold more blood to allow oxygen delivery - lower HR in sub-max due to increased SV lower and faster attainment of steady state - increased capillarisation of the heart muscle heart beats stronger = decreased risk of heart attack increased metabolic by-products

Question 35

respiratory adaptations to aerobic training goal and 3

Answer 35

goal = increased oxygen intake - increased lung ventilation body can extract oxygen better - increased vo2 max increases max volume of oxygen that can be taken in transported and utilised - increased pulmonary diffusion ability of blood to extract oxygen from the alveoli increase o2 and co2 exchange

Question 36

muscular adaption to aerobic training goal and 3

Answer 36

goal - increased oxygen consumption and energy production - increased muscular fuel stores increased storage of glycogen and triglycerides as well as oxidative enzymes which are used to metabolise fuels to produce ATP aerobically - o2 utilisation increase size and number of mitochondria and increase myoglobin stores enhances bodys ability to attract oxygen into muscle cell and produce ATP for contraction

Question 37

chronic muscular adaptations to anaerobic training goal and 3

Answer 37

goal - increase anaerobic capacity, strength, speed, power - neural adaptations increase motor units recruited at an increased rate and force development - muscle hypertrophy enlargement of muscle fibres = increased strength - increased muscular stores of ATP and PC increased capacity of ATP-PC system faster energy release of restoration
