Component of Fitness, tests and training methods
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Aerobic Endurance | The ability of the cardio respiratory system to work efficiently to supply nutrients and oxygen to the working muscles for a sustained period of time. |
Muscular Endurance | The ability of a muscle or muscle group to work efficiently and repeatedly contract for a sustained period of time against a light to moderate resistance |
Strength | The maximum force that can be produced by a muscle |
Power | Combination of Strength and Speed |
Flexibility | The range of movement permitted at a joint. |
Body Composition | The ratio between fat mass and fat free mass |
Speed | The ability to cover a set distance over a short period of time |
Test for Aerobic Endurance | 12 minute cooper Run |
Test for Muscular Endurance | One minute sit up test |
Test for Speed | 30m Sprint |
Test for Strength | Hand Grip Dynamometer |
Test for Power | Sargent Jump |
Test for Flexibility | Sit and Reach Test |
Continuous Training | Working at a constant intensity for a minimum of 30 minutes |
Interval Training | Period of work followed by periods of Rest. Can be short distance or long distance (Speed & Aerobic Endurance) |
Fartlek Training | Combination of Continuous and interval training, including different speeds over different terrains. |
Circuit Training | Involves different stations of exercises |
Core Stability Training | This type of training helps stabilise the spine and reduce any postural imbalance which prevent injuries from occurring |
Reliability | If the test is repeated in the exact same way, the same results should be achieved. |
Maximum Heart Rate | 220 - (your age) = ??BPM |
Repetitions | Are the number of times a movement is repeated |
Load | The amount of weight lifted |
Sets | How often a group of reps is completed |
Hypertrophy | Means an increase size in muscle |
1 Rep Max | The most weight a person can apply in a single attempt at an exercise |
Dynamic Exercise | Is an exercise that involves movement at a joint |
Anaerobic | Means without oxygen |
Free weights | Is a weight that is to attached to machinery, such as barbells and dumbells. |
Fixed resistance machines | stacks of weights attached to pulleys or air pressure to provide resistance |
Plyometric Training | This is a form of exercise that enables a muscle to reach maximum force in the fastest possible time. Muscles are stretched/lengthened and then shortened rapidly |
Anaerobic Hill Sprints | Type of training requires a hill. Steeper the hill the bigger the impact. It is called ... as the energy systems used to provide energy do not require oxygen |
Crossfit | A variety of exercises which include using body weight as a form of resistance, weightlifting and also aerobic exercises. |
Static Stretching | Is stationary. Can use another person or object to support the stretch. |
Dynamic Stretching | Involves movement at a joint. Must be controlled. |
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation | This stretch is mainly performed during a cool down to develop the length of the muscle. Requires a partner or immovable object to provide resistance. To stretch the muscle as far as possible. |
Sprint Training | This can be carried out using some form of resistance such as a parachute or bungee. This adds extra resistance to allow sprinting to become easier. |
SAQ | Speed Agility and Quickness training. Sport Specific which includes sprinting and changing direction. |
Agility | The ability to change direction quick without losing balance |
Normative Data | This shows what is usually expected for a specific population |
Aerobic Endurance Training Methods | Interval, Continuous, Fartlek |
Muscular Endurance Training Methods | Circuit, Core Stability Training |
Strength Training Methods | Free Weights and Fixed Resistance Machines |
Speed Training Methods | Interval, SAQ, Sprint Training |
Power Training Methods | Plyometrics, Anaerobic Hill Sprints, Crossfit |
Flexibility Training Methods | Static, Dynamic and PNF |
FITT | Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type |
SPPORT | Specificity, Progressive Overload, Participants differences and needs, Overtraining, Reversibility and Training Zones |
Maintenance of fitness levels and warm up | 50-60% MHR |
Fat-Burning Zone | 60-70% MHR |
Aerobic Training Zone | 70-80% MHR |
Anaerobic Training Zone | 80-100% MHR |
Specificity | refers to choosing a training method that aims to improve a specific component of fitness that is beneficial to a particular sport or activity |
Progressive Overload | meaning the person has to work at a higher intensity than they are used to in order to make any fitness gains |
Overtraining | There may be risk of injury due to fatigue caused by increasing a training workload too quickly |
Reversibility | Athletes experience a decrease in fitness and need to restart their training programme at an appropriate level and have some time away from their sport or activity |
Participant differences and needs | A training programme should be designed to meet a person's specific training goals and also needs. |
Training Zone | is the correct intensity at which a person should exercise in order to improve fitness levels |
Frequency | How often you train a week |
Intenisty | How hard you train within a session |
Time | How long you train for per session |
Type | The Type of training session performed within a session will be determined by the component of fitness they want to improve |
MHR | 220-Age = MHR |
RPE | Rating of perceived exertion |
Borg scale | 6-20 |
PAR-Q | is a popular health screening questionnaire. It is a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire |
A Lifestyle Questionnaire | is a questionnaire that provides an overview of a person's lifestyles. |
Understanding Fitness Programme - Aim: | this is something the participant hopes to achieve |
Understanding Fitness Programme - Objective: | is a statement of intent of how a participant will achieve their aim, i.e the steps they need to take to reach their goal |
Phases of a warm up | Pulse raiser and stretches |
Importance of a pulse raiser | transports blood to around the body and to the working muscles. This also raises body temperature |
Importance of stretches | Helps to increase mobility in the joints and helps to prevent injuries when exercising. |
