  • define aerobic power
    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.
    1. specify
    2. results
    3. sequencing
    4. resourcing
  • what are protocols
    they are the rules or procedures associated with fitness testing
    1. validity
    2. reliability
    3. accurately
    4. informed consent
  • give me 2 advantages of direct coaching
    1. immediate feedback from the coach
    2. hands-on demonstration to improve skills
  • give me 2 disadvantages of direct coaching
    1. the coach's perspective may be limited due to their vantage point.
    2. may heavily depend on the coach and may limit problem-solving skills.
