the ability of the cardiovascular (heart, lungs and blood vessels) and respiratory system to produce aerobic energy/ATP
explain what aerobic power is
it's related to the ability to perform activities that involve large muscle groups, such as swimming, running, and cycling for extended period of time
define anaerobic capacity
anaerobic capacity refers to the capacity of the anaerobic systems (ATP-CP and the anaerobic glycolysis) to provide energy for muscular contractions (total amount of energy from the anaerobic systems)
what is anaerobic capacity used for
used in athletic events such as shot-put, javelin, discus, pole vault, 100m and 200m sprints.
define muscular strength
the maximal force that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group in one maximal effort (1RM)
explain what muscular strength is
muscular strength is important in sports where an object needs to be moved forcefully ( such as weight lifting) or when the body needs to hold its position against the opposing force of the opposition.
define muscular endurance
the ability of the muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions. ( concentric, eccentric or isokinetic) for an extended period of time, or to maintain a contraction for an extended period of time (isometric contraction) in the face of fatigue.
define what muscular power is
the ability to exert a maximal contraction in one explosive effort (often mixed up with strength)
define what agility is
the ability to change body position or direction quickly and accurately while maintaining balance.
define what speed is
the rate of motion (how fast you can move your body part from point to another)
Speed = distance/time
define what flexibility is
the capacity of a joint to move through its full range of motion and reflects the ability of the muscle and connective tissue to stretch.
define what static flexibility is
refers to a joint range of motion under stationary conditions
define what dynamic flexibility is
refers to the resistance of motion in a joint
define what balance is
maintaining equilibrium while stationary or moving
define what static equilibrium is
refers to activities where balance is maintaining while the body is stationary
define what dynamic equilibrium is
refers to maintaining balance while moving
define what body composition is
the term to describe the different components that when taken together, make up a person's body weight.
define what coordination is
the ability to use the body sense o execute motor skills smoothly and accurately
define what reaction time is
the time from the presentation of a stimulus to the onset a response
what does fitness testing include? (3x)
determine fitness component strengths and weaknesses
determine team positions
improving motivation
what is physiological perspective
a pre-participation screening test design to provide details about the participants' current health.
what is psychological perspective
must consider the current psychological state of the subject
what id sociocultural perspective
* cost
* Cultural
* Group size
define what laboratory and field testing is
sports science laboratory testing is usually reserved for elite performers, where fitness testing accurately is paramount.
field testing can be very functional and accurate, provided that the protocols are followed
define what maximal and submaximal testing is
a maximal test s one that is performed as close as possible to exhuastion.
a submaximal test is those that are not perfomed to exhaustion. an example would be aerobic test is the PWC170 performed on a bicycle ergometer
what is direct testing
direct testing measures the function of a fitness component.
what is indirect testing
indirect fitness assessment is based on predictive measures and equation linked to norms for estimating fitness levels
define fitness test battery
a variety of tests that are used to assess different components of fitness.
specify
results
sequencing
resourcing
what are protocols
they are the rules or procedures associated with fitness testing
validity
reliability
accurately
informed consent
give me 2 advantages of direct coaching
immediate feedback from the coach
hands-on demonstration to improve skills
give me 2 disadvantages of direct coaching
the coach's perspective may be limited due to their vantage point.
may heavily depend on the coach and may limit problem-solving skills.
