Define the term 'fitness'
The ability to meet the demands of your everyday environment or lifestyle.
1 of 38
Define the term 'health'
A state of physical and social and mental well-being, where we are free from disease.
2 of 38
Name the two components of fitness
Health-related and skill-related components.
3 of 38
Define the term 'cardiorespiratory endurance'
The ability of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to take in and transport oxygen to the working muscles where it can be utilised and aerobic performance maintained.
4 of 38
What 4 factors we may expect a trained triathlon to posses?
A greater concentration of myoglobin within the muscle cell, greater number of mitochondria, greater concentration of red blood cells, greater capillarisation of the alveoli and muscles.
5 of 38
Name 3 tests to measure stamina
The cooper 12 minute run test, the multi-stage fitness test, the harvard step test,
6 of 38
What is strength? Name the 3 types of strength.
The ability of the body to apply a force against a resistance. There is maximal strength, elastic strength and strength endurance,
7 of 38
Define maximum strength.
the maximum force that can be developed in a muscle or group of muscles during a single maximum contraction.
8 of 38
Name 2 factors that effect maximum strenght
The cross sectional area of a muscle and the amount of fast twitch muscle fibres
9 of 38
Define elastic strength.
The ability to overcome a resistance rapidly and prepare the muscle quickly for a sequential contraction of equal force
10 of 38
Name 3 performer that require elastic strength
Sprinters, Triple jumpers, and Gymnasts.
11 of 38
Define 'strength endurance'.
The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to undergo repeated contractions and withstand fatigue.
12 of 38
Name 3 tests used to measure strength
25m hop test (elastic), one repetition maximum test (maximum strength), The hand grip dynamo meter test
13 of 38
Define 'muscular endurance'
the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.
14 of 38
name 2 tests used to measure muscular endurance
the NCF abdominal conditioning test and the modified pull up test
15 of 38
Name 3 sports that require muscular endurance
Rowing, swimming and Olympic kayakers
16 of 38
Name the 2 types of muscle fibres
Fast twitch glycolytic muscle fibres (type 2b) and Fast oxidative glycolytic muscle fibres
17 of 38
Define 'explosive strength'
the amount of work done per unit of time or the rate at which we apply strength
18 of 38
Name 3 tests to measure power
The wingate cycle test, the standing vertical jump test and the standing broad jump test
19 of 38
Define 'speed'
the maximum rate that a person can move over a specific distance or the ability to put body parts into motion quickly
20 of 38
Name a test to measure speed
The 30m sprint test
21 of 38
Name 3 factor that determine speed
The number of high twitch glycolytic muscle fibres, stores of phosphocreatine, the efficiency of lever systems
22 of 38
What is phosphocreatine?
A high-energy compound found in all muscle cells, used to recycle adenosine triphosphate during high intensity exercises of short duration.
23 of 38
Define 'Flexibility'
The range of movement possible at a joint
24 of 38
Name the 2 types of flexibility
static flexibility and dynamic flexibility
25 of 38
state 4 factors that effect flexibility
Type of joint (e.g. ball in socket), temperature of muscles, age of performer and the sex of performer
26 of 38
Name 3 tests to measure flexibility
the sit and reach test, the goniometer measurement and the shoulder flexibility test.
27 of 38
Define 'body composition'
the relative components of total body mass in terms of fat mass and lean body mass.
28 of 38
State 4 tests used to measure body composition
skin fold measurement, hydrostatic weighing, BMI and bio-electric impedance
29 of 38
Define 'Agility'
The ability to move and change direction and position quickly while maintaining good body control without loss of speed
30 of 38
State 2 tests used to measure agility
The illinois agility run test and the hexagon jump test
31 of 38
Define 'Balance'
The maintenance of the body's centre of mass over the base of support
32 of 38
State 2 test used to measure balance
The standing stork test and the balance boards
33 of 38
Define 'co-ordination'
An organised working together of muscles or group of muscles aimed at bringing about a purposeful movement.
34 of 38
Name 2 ways of measuring co-ordination
the alternate hand ball toss test and the light board test
35 of 38
Define 'reaction time'
The time taken to initiate a response to a give stimulus
36 of 38
Name the two types of reaction time
simple reaction time and choice reaction time
37 of 38
State 3 tests used to measure reaction time
Ruler drop test, light board test and visual reaction time tests.
