• What happens in Newtons 1st law of motion ?

  An object will continue in a state of constant velocity until compelled to change by an external force
• What is Newton’s first law called ?

  Inertia
• What happens in Newton’s second law of motion ?


  An object will accelerate proportional to the force acting and in the direction of that force
• What is newtons 2nd law called ?

  Law of acceleration
• What is the equation for newtons 2nd law ?

  F = MA

  force = mass x acceleration
• What happens in Newton’s third law ?

  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
• What is newtons 3rd law called ?

  Law of reaction
• What’s IFTTT ?

  if this then that
• What does fitness testing aim to test ?

  identify strengths and weaknesses

  provides basis for training prescriptions

  identifies talent

  identify physiological and athletic potential
• What’s validity ?


  when a test actually measures it sets out to do
• What’s reliability?


  means the test can be repeated and can collect similar results
• What does a maximum and progressive test measure ?

  Measures your VO2 max
• how to stretch carefully ?

  don’t stretch beyond what’s comfortable

  be gentle (smoothly)

  remember to breathe

  start slowly

  cautiously do ballistic stretching
• What are the two types of static stretches ?

  Passive and active
• What is active stretching ?

  When the agonist is active and the antagonist relaxes

  you move your body deep into the stretch as possible and hold it for 30 seconds to one minute
• What’s passive stretching ?

  using the help of an external force and is a type of stretching in which you stay in one set position for a set period of time
• whats ballistic stretching ?

  Includes fast jerking bouncing that are essential for pushing the muscles past their normal limits
• What’s periodisation ?

  dividing the training year into phases in order to peak at the right time
• What’s a macro cycle ?

  long term cycle from one to four years
• What’s a mesocycle ?

  A medium term plan from four to twelve weeks
• What’s a Microcycle ?

  A short term training period like a week or day session
• 4 words linked to specificity ?

  R- spesific

  E- Energy

  M- movement /actions

  M- Muscle endurance
• What’s continuous training ?

  training with no rest that gets repeated over time
• Positives of continuous training ?

  no equipment

  improves aerobic fitness

  Cardiac hypertrophy

  increased cardiac output

  bradycardia
• Negatives of continuous training ?

  can be quite boring

  can cause injury

  time consuming
• PNF ?

  Target muscles are stretched to their limit

  the muscle spindles detect the stretch and initiates the stretch reflex

  stretch position is held

  partner contracts muscle group isometrically

  initiates the golgi tendon which overrides stretch reflex

  This is autogenic inhibition

  the muscles then relax

  target muscles are stretched again but further
• what does fartlek training involve ?

  varying the speed intensity and terrain of the training so both aerobic and anaerobic systems are used
• How does plyometric training work ?

  The elasticity of a muscle is increased by powerful eccentric contractions which lengthen the muscle and this leads to a more powerful concentric contraction on the concentric stage
• What does force govern ?

  Direction
• Law of action and reaction ?

  For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force
• What’s linear motion ?


  movement in a curved or straight line
• What’s general motion ?

  Angular AND linear motion
• Internal ?

  internal is a force applied when skeletal muscles contract
• External ?


  is an external force that comes from outside the body e.g friction air resistance weight
• Friction force ?

  static and dry
• What is static friction ?


  Friction on an object that’s not moving
• What’s dry friction ?

  Friction that opposes another surface sliding across it
• What affects air resistance ?

  velocity of the moving body

  size of the cross sectional area

  shape and surface of a moving body
• Factors that affect friction ?

  surface characteristics of the bodies

  temperature of the surfaces

  the mass of the objects
• What are vector quantities ?

  quantities that have size and direction
