Intervaltraining = Series of repeated bouts of exercise (several)
Interval Training Types
High-intensity
Fartlek runs
Low-intensity
Fitness Test Components
Illinois agility test
T-test
Vertical jump test
Burpee test
Balance
One leg standing
Stork stand test
Coordination
Stick flip test
ball toss test
Reaction Time
Ruler drop test
Flexibility
Sit and reach
Speed
Sprint exercises
Interval training
Anaerobic
High-intensity, short bursts of high-intensity movements fueled by stored energy in muscles
Aerobic
Continuous movement fueled by oxygen from air so you breathe
BMI (Body Mass Index)
Divide weight by height
Power
Work done in unit of time
Flexibility
Ability to move your muscles and joints through their full range of motion
Multistage Fitness Test
Aerobic endurance
Grip Strength Dynamometer
Muscular strength
Skinfold Testing
Body composition
Hollow Sprint
Used to increase speed
Sprint Training
Sprint a set distance, slow down then sprint again
Free Weights
Increase muscular strength
Continuous Training
Increase aerobic endurance, training at moderate rate keeping pulse rate consistent without periods of rest
Increased capillarisation around alveoli (capillaries are blood vessels where gas exchange takes place) means there are more sites for oxygen to diffuse across lungs into bloodstream
Adaptations to Cardiovascular System
Cardiac hypertrophy - increases in size of the heart
Decreased resting heart rate - because of an increase in the heart size, the heart needs to pump less often to move the same amount of blood
Anaerobic
High intensity, shorter duration
Aerobic
Low intensity, longer duration
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Divide weight by height
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
Subtract age from 220
Aerobic Training Zone
85-95% of MHR
Anaerobic Threshold
85% of MHR = lower
Aerobic Threshold
50% of MHR = higher
Benefits of Increased Participation
Increased motivation
Improvements in maintaining high intensity training
Increase in fitness
Calibration of equipment is important to ensure it is working and measured correctly
PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) is a consent form to determine safety
Informed Consent is signing that you understand the risks so if anything goes wrong, you can't sue the company
Components of a Warm-Up
Pulse raiser
Joint mobilisation
Preparation Stretching
Adaptations to Muscular System
Increased tolerance to lactic acid - speed training increases body's tolerance to lactic acid so you can work for longer
