• Health is the complete state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
• Fitness is the ability to cope with the demands of the environment.
• Social health is when basic human needs are being met (food, shelter and clothing). The individual has friendship and support, some value in society, is socially active and has little stress in social circumstances.
• Speed is the maximum rate at which and individual can perform a movement or cover a set distance over a period of time.
• Flexibility is the range of movement possible at a joint.
• Power is the product of strength and speed.
• Muscular endurance is the ability to undergo repeated muscle contractions avoiding fatigue. The same as dynamic strength.
• Physical health is where all body systems working well, free from illness and injury. Ability to carry out everyday tasks.
• Mental health is a state of well-being in which every individual realises his/her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community
• Muscular strength is the ability to overcome resistance.
• Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles for a period of time.
• Agility is the ability to change direction at speed whilst maintaining control
• Coordination is the ability to use 2 or more body parts smoothly and efficiently
• Reaction time is the time taken to respond and move to a stimuli
• Balance is the ability to maintain a centre of mass over a base of support
• Flat bones protect vital organs
• Ligaments connect bone to bone
• Tendons attach muscle to bone
• Cartilage is a tough but flexible tissue that acts as a buffer between bones to reduce friction
• Synovial fluid lubricates the joint reducing the rubbing between bones
• Synovial membrane releases synovial fluid
• The agonist contracts
• The antagonist relaxes
• Isometric contraction: The muscle stays the same length under tension
• Concentric Contraction: The muscle shortens under tension
• Eccentric Contraction: The muscle lengthens under tension
• Eccentric contractions slow down an object in the downwards phase of a movement
• Concentric contractions speed up an object in the upwards phase of a movement
• Arousal is a state of readiness or alertness that can range from extreme tiredness to intense excitement
• Motivation is the drive, desire or willingness to achieve something
• A mesomorph has wide shoulders and narrow hips. They are suited to agility events
• Drinking water helps you to rehydrate after exercise. It replaces the water lost through sweat.
• EPOC stands for excess post exercise oxygen consumption. This is the amount of oxygen needed to recover after anaerobic exercise. Our breathing rate stays elevated, breathing heavy and deep. It enables the body to convert lactic acid into glucose, carbon dioxide and water.
• Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the superior vena cava. The right atrium pumps the blood through the valve to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps through the pulmonary artery to the lungs where gaseous exchange occurs. From the lungs oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium. The left atrium pumps the oxygenated blood through a valve to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the bloody through the aorta to the rest of the body.
• Massages heat up the muscles forcing them to vasodilate. This forces out the lactic acid.
• Systole is where the heart contracts and ejects blood
• Diastole is where the heart relaxes and fills with blood
