Term
Anaerobic Metabolism
Definition
ATP is produced without the presence of oxygen
Term
pre-screening
Definition
A questionnaire designed to determine the health of a person and their exercise history
Term
Ballistic Stretching
Definition
Where the muscle is stretched by a bouncing action beyond it's normal range of movement
Term
Chemical Energy
Definition
the energy is in bonds between the atoms
Term
kilojoule or calorie
Definition
measures the energy value of food. (A calorie is the equivalent of 4.2 Kj)
Term
Resynthesis
Definition
the process of restoring ATP to its former state
Term
Adenosine Triphosphate
Definition
a high energy compound that stores and transports energy to the body cells, allowing them to perform their specialised functions- for example, a muscle contraction
Term
Creatine Phosphate
Definition
an energy-rich compound that serves as an alternative energy source for muscular contraction
Term
Energy balance
Definition
When the body's energy intake is in balance with its energy expenditure
Term
Energy systems
Definition
- ATP/PC
- Lactic Acid
- Aerobic
Term
ATP/PC
(adenosine triphosphate/phosphocreatine)
Definition

INTENSITY OF EFFORT- 95-100% max effort
DURATION- 8-10 seconds
RECOVERY TIME- 30 seconds- 2 minutes
SPORTS THAT USE THIS- 100m sprint, shot put, javelin, weight lifting
Term
Lactic Acid
Definition
FUEL- Carbohydrates
AMOUNT OF ENERGY SUPPLIED- limited
WASTE PRODUCTS- Lactic acid
INTENSITY OF EFFORT- 60-95% of max effort
DURATION- 30sec-3 mins at moderate intensity
RECOVERY TIME- 20 mins- 2 hours depending on intensity
SPORTS THAT USE THIS ENERGY SYSTEM- 400m run, 100m swim, 200m swim
Term
Aerobic Energy system
Definition
FUEL- Carbohydrates, fats, protein
AMOUNT OF ENERGY SUPPLIED- Unlimited at low intensity
WASTE PRODUCTS- Carbon dioxide, Water
INTENSITY OF EFFORT- up to 60% max effort
DURATION- unlimited at low intensity
RECOVERY TIME- Sufficient time to replace diminished fuel supplies (24hrs)
SPORTS THAT USE THIS ENERGY SYSTEM- Marathon running, triathlon
Term
Purpose of Warm up
Definition
- prevent injury by increasing blood supply to promote flexibility around the joints
- increase performance of the cardiovascular system
- Mentally prepare for activity
- Increase core body temperature to promote stronger muscle contractions
Term
Continuous training
Definition
Sustained effort- that is, exercise without rest intervals.
Needs to be continuous for more than twenty minutes.
heart rate must rise above the aerobic threshold and remain in the target zone for the duration of the session.

Examples: Jogging, Cycling, Aerobics.

Two types:
- Long, slow distance training
- High intensity work of moderate duration
Term
Continuous training: Long, slow distance training
Definition
improves general condition, working between 60 and 80% MHR and focus on distance rather than speed
Term
Continuous Training:
High intensity work of moderate duration
Definition
Very demanding, Work at 80-90% of MHR. Well conditioned athletes use this.. Requires work at or near competition pace and is essential for developing leg speed.
Term
Four kinds of Strength
Definition
1. Absolute Strength
2. Relative strength
3. Muscular endurance
4. Power
Term
Absolute Strength
Definition
max force that can be applied by a muscle
Term
Relative Strength
Definition
Max strength relative to ones weight
Term
Muscular endurance
Definition
The ability of a muscle to withstand fatigue
Term
Power
Definition
the ability to apply force at a rapid rate
Term
Interval Training
Definition
Involves alternating periods of work and recovery.
Example: run 800 m in 3 minutes and then 3 minutes rest. this can be repeated.
Term
Fartlek training
Definition
involves adding speed to continuous training.
Example: If you're running, a sudden burst of speed is added every 2-3 minutes lasting for 15-30 seconds.................... Running up and down sand hills.
Term
Circuit Training
Definition
Involves moving from one station to another, performing different activities. Different muscle groups should be worked at each station.
Term
Aerobics
Definition
a variety of exercises performed to music. A session should include a warm up, a conditioning stage, and a cool down stage.
Term
Strength training
Isometric
Definition
participants develop strength by applying resistance and using exercises in which muscle length does not change.
Example: Pushing against a wall.
Term
Strength Training
isotonic
Definition
participants raise/lower or pull/push free weights to contract and lengthen the muscle fibers
Term
Strength Training
Isokinetic
Definition
Participants use elaborate machines to ensure that the resistance applied to the muscle group is uniform throughout the full range of movement
Term
Systolic Blood Pressure
Definition
the force exerted against the arterial walls as the ventricles contract
Term
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Definition
the relaxation or filling phase of the heart (when at rest)
Term
Stroke Volume
Definition
The amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle.
Term
Cardiac Output
Definition
The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute.
CO= HR x SV
Cardiac output is approximately 5L per minute (at rest) for both trained and untrained people.
When exercising CO increases to around 20-25L per minute for untrained people, and 35-40L for highly trained athletes.
Term
Lactate Levels
Definition
Formed formed from lactic acid.
relate to the pH levels of the blood.
Term
Ventilation Rates
Definition
refers to our depth and rate of breathing.
Increases during exercise as the demand for oxygen is greater.
Term
Haemoglobin Levels
Definition
The substance found in red blood cells that binds and carries around oxygen.
Term
Flexibility
Definition
essential for:.................................................
- Prevention of injury.........................................
- Improved coordination between muscle groups..................
- Muscular Relaxation..........................................
- Decreasing soreness and tightness following exercise..........
- Increased range of movement around the joints, maximising performance potential..........................................
- Counteracting the restricting effects of the muscle growth resulting from resistance training.
Term
Flexibility- Static Stretching
Definition
the muscle is slowly stretched to a position, which is held for about 30 seconds. The movement is smooth and performed slowly.
Term
Flexibility- Dynamic Stretching
Definition
Involves the stretching of muscles that cross over joints and involves gentle repetition of the types of movements that will be experienced in performance. also called active stretching.
Term
Flexibility- Active Stretching
Definition
Involves the stretching of muscles that cross over joints and involves gentle repetition of the types of movements that will be experienced in performance. also called dynamic stretching.
Term
Flexibility- Ballistic Training
Definition
Involves repeated movements such as swinging or bouncing to gain an extra stretch. Can be damaging if the muscle is stretched beyond its preferred length. Also called bounce stretching.
Term
PNF Stretching
Definition
Involves lengthening the muscle against a resistance. Useful for rehabilitation as it strengthens and stretches the muscles. incorporates static stretching, as isometric contraction and relaxation ....................... Steps are:................... Static stretch of the muscle group.......... An isometric contraction is held for 10 seconds........ Relax the muscle for 5 seconds..... Repeat the sequence.................... Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.
