52
Q

What is ballistic stretching?

A

A stretch which uses the force of movement to stretch muscles beyond their normal range of movement

53
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of ballistic stretching?

A

Can be made sport specific, allows muscles to be stretched beyond normal range of movement.

Can cause injury, must be undertaken with caution, not effective way to stretch certain muscle groups

54
Q

What is proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)?

A

A stretch which is an advanced form of passive stretching, using a partner or object to provide resistance, used to develop flexibility mobility and strength with a partner pushing for 10 seconds

55
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of PNF?

A

Can increase flexibility and and range of movement, can be used as part of a rehabilitation program.

Must be carried out by a specialist, risk of over stretching

56
Q

What is plyometric training?

A

A training which is used to develop sport specific skills and explosive power, speed and strength.

57
Q

Plyometric training works by an athlete muscle lengthening and then immediately shortening.

A

(Eccentric contraction - muscle lengthens)

Concentric contraction - muscle shortens

58
Q

What components of fitness does plyometric training develop?

A

Explosive power, speed and strength.

59
Q

Who would use plyometric training?

A 
Sprinters
Hurdles

60
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of plyometric training?

A

Can adapt to many sports, can improve muscular strength and power

Not suitable for younger athletes must be performed on a suitable surface.

Q

What two types of training develop strength, muscular endurance and power?

A

Circuit training and weight training

62
Q

What is circuit training?

A

A training where it develops aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, strength and power, can be adapted to which stations you have, you should never to the same muscle more than once

63
Q

What are advantages and disadvantages of circuit training?

A

Can be adapted to suite sport, can be adapted to fitness, can carry out with little equipment

67
Q

How would a performer develop muscular endurance?

A

Doing a lot of reps with low weight

68
Q

What is elastic strength and how could a sports performer develop their maximum endurance?

A

Elastic strength is a type of training with speed endurance and maximum strength, to improve endurance high amount of reps, to improve strength lower reps and higher weights

69
Q

What is maximum strength and how can a sports performer develop it?

A

It’s is the maximum weight a performer can do with one Rep and can be improved with doing a high weight and not many reps
