• components of fitness - agility, balance, cardiovascular endurance, coordination, flexibility, muscular endurance, power, reaction time, strength, speed
• agility - the ability to move and change direction quickly at speed whilst maintaining control
• balance - the ability to keep the body stable by maintaining the centre of mass over the base of support
• cardiovascular endurance - the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles
• coordination - the ability to use two or more body parts smoothly and efficiently
• flexibility - the range of movement at a joint
• muscular endurance - the ability for the muscle to under go repeated contraction without fatigue
• power - power = strength * speed
• reaction time - time taken to react to stimulus
• strength - the ability to overcome resistance
• speed - the maximum rate which an individual is able to perform a movement
• Fartlex - work , more work , work
• What is fartlex training

  Work more work work
• Sport - specificity , progressive overload , reversibility , tedium
• Fitt - frequency , intensity , time , type
• Pre season - general aerobic fitness / specific fitness needs
• Competition season - maintain fitness level / work on specific skills
• Post season - rest / light aerobic training to maintain general level of fitness
• Stimulants - alertness
• Narcotic analgesics - pain killers from over training
• Anabolic agents - muscle mass
• Diuretics - weight loss
• Peptide hormones - oxygen carrying capacity (increases cardiovascular endurance)
• Blood doping - oxygen carrying capacity
• Beta blockers - for fine motor control / blocking affects of adrenaline
• maximal strength - most force muscles can create in a single movement
• static strength - muscles dont move but still apply a force eg holding a handstand
• explosive strength - muscles strength in a short and fast burst
• dynamic strength - strength to move things repeatably like muscular endurance
• fitness testing - shows strength and weakness / areas to improve , monitor progress , motivation , help set new goals
• limitations of fitness tests - no specific sporting actions, not tell us how they perform under pressure, not motivated, results can be inaccurate, may get better scores because you practice the test
• long term effects of exercise - muscle hypertrophy , stronger ligaments & tendons , increased speed , stronger heart , stroke volume increase , increased cardiovascular endurance
• Dynamic stretches / active stretching - involve taking a muscle through its entire range of motion
• Plyometric - type of training designed to improve power ( speed × strength )
• Hooliganism - disorderly , aggressive and often violent behaviour
