- PARTICIPATION IN SPORT
- AGE
- FLEXIBILITY
- Quite high in teens, but decreases with age.
- A tendency ro put on weight also reduces flexibility.
- STRENGTH
- Decreases as we get older, but younger people need to be fully grown to reach maximum strength.
- You are fully grown when you reach your late teens/ early twenties.
- OXYGEN CAPACITY
- Reduces with age as the heart becomes less efficient.
- The arteries gradually lose their elasticity, which increases blood pressure and reduces blood flow.
- SKILL LEVELS
- Improve with age and experience and as we grow and become stronger.
- Age
- The older you get, the longer it takes for you to recover from injuries.
- More chance of suffering from diseases and there is a gradual wear and tear on the body.
- FLEXIBILITY
- DISABILITY
- ADAPTATIONS
- ACCESS
- Doors and doorways have to be wide enough to allow wheelchair access, and ramps must be provided.
- ADAPT
- Different aspects of games have been adapted to suit disabilties such as rules and equipment, a Paralympic Games has also been established.
- Disablity classifications exist for all activities relating to the particular physical demands of that sport.
- PARKING
- Disabled bays must be marked and made available.
- PROVISION
- Lifts must allow access to upper floors, disabled toilets provided
- ACCESS
- ADAPTATIONS
- GENDER
- Physique
- Women tend to be smaller with flatter pelvis's and smaller lungs and heart
- Cardiovascular Endurance
- Women have smaller lungs and hearts so obviously have a lower oxygen carrying capacity than men
- Strength
- Muscle strength and power can vary, however women have less total muscle mass
- Bone Structue
- Women have a flatter, broader pelvis
- Flexibility
- Women have much less muscle mass which makes them more flexible
- Fat
- Women have a higher percentage of fat
- Physique
- SOMATOTYPE
- Endomorph
- Roughly pear-shaped, wide hips, wide shoulders, tendency to gain fat, short legs
- Sporting examples- in rugby their bulk could be an advantage, sumo wrestler, shot putter
- Roughly pear-shaped, wide hips, wide shoulders, tendency to gain fat, short legs
- Mesomorph
- Wedge-shaped, broad wide shoulders, muscled arms and legs, narrow hips, minimum amount of fat
- Sporting examples- strength and agility sports, especially swimming
- FAST TWITCH
- Sporting examples- strength and agility sports, especially swimming
- Wedge-shaped, broad wide shoulders, muscled arms and legs, narrow hips, minimum amount of fat
- Ectomorph
- Long and slender, thin with narrow shoulders and hips, thin arms and legs, very little body and muscle fat
- Sporting examples- endurance events such as marathon running
- SLOW TWITCH
- Sporting examples- endurance events such as marathon running
- Long and slender, thin with narrow shoulders and hips, thin arms and legs, very little body and muscle fat
- Endomorph
- ENVIRONMENT
- Pollution
- Pollution levels can be a health risk, the more pollution the less oxygen. Therefore cardiovascular fitness will be affected and performance levels will drop
- If pollution levels are too high training would be restricted to indoors, you are best to train somewhere with low pollution levels
- Pollution levels can be a health risk, the more pollution the less oxygen. Therefore cardiovascular fitness will be affected and performance levels will drop
- Altitude
- Training at high altitude can beneficial as the air is less dense and oxygen levels are low
- This method increases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, this method of training increases your performance at sea level is especially good for someone partaking in endurance events
- Training at high altitude can beneficial as the air is less dense and oxygen levels are low
- Terrain
- The landscape you require is crucial to your sport, and you may not be able to compete without them
- A skier would need snow and slopes and a windsurfer would need wind and sea
- The landscape you require is crucial to your sport, and you may not be able to compete without them
