Exercise Assessment & Prescription
What is an Adult Pre-Exercise Screening Tool (APEST) or PAR-Q+ an example of?
Pre-exercise questionnaire
What type of aerobic training method involves periods of work followed by periods of rest?
Aerobic interval
The first consideration of designing a training session.
Health and Safety Considerations
100-150% (1.5L per kg of bodyweight lost).
In the syllabus, hydrotherapy falls under:
Physiological recovery
Where can pre-exercise questionnaires be found/developed from?
ESSA, Sports Medicine Australia, AUSactive
What type of flexibility training involves bouncing movements to push muscles beyond normal ROM?
Ballistic stretching
Macrocycle, microcycle and mesocycle are all examples of
Sub-phases
The process of consuming large amounts of complex carbohydrates in the days leading up to an aerobic event/performance is known as
Carbohydrate loading
Technology's role in improving performance includes:
Training innovations
Equipment Advancement
Recording and monitoring training and performance
Why would a fitness professional choose the Rockport 1.6-kilometre walk rather than a VO₂ max test for an overweight 55-year-old participant?
The Rockport walk is a submaximal test, making it a safer and more appropriate option.
Gains in strength can only be effectively converted into power through specific training methods that condition muscle fibres to contract rapidly. What training method best reflects this ?
Plyometrics
This type of anxiety is characterised by a state of heightened emotions that develop in response to fear or danger.
State anxiety
The macronutrient mostly required post performance for a resistance/strength athlete to maximise muscle recovery, growth and repair
Protein
The acronym for assessment of sporting injuries
TOTAPS
An elite soccer midfielder needs to assess their ability to repeatedly perform short bursts of high-intensity exercise with brief recovery periods. Which fitness test would be most appropriate, and why?
The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test, because it assesses aerobic power through repeated short bursts of high-intensity effort followed by brief recovery periods, which mirrors the demands of soccer.
Three key elements of skill and tactical development.
Drills
Modified games
Games for specific outcomes
Optimal performance in easier tasks / sporting movements require
Higher levels of arousal
I am responsible for greater power output during training, delayed fatigue, improved cognitive functioning, cellular hydration and improved recovery:
Creatine
What rehabilitation strategy involves gradually increasing movement and load to restore function following an injury?
Progressive mobilisation
Why are exercise assessments and training programs important for elite athletes?
Detailed performance analysis
Sport-specific training
Goal setting and periodisation
Continuous monitoring and feedback
A soccer player wants to improve their aerobic endurance. They have been completing the same 5 km run at the same pace three times per week for several months, but their fitness has stopped improving. What training principle should they apply?
Progressive Overload
To manage anxiety and arousal, the technique of picturing the skill or performance prior to execution is known as
Mental rehearsal
Which micronutrient is essential for oxygen transport in the blood and is commonly deficient in athletes?
Iron
A key (and sometimes controversial) process essential for ensuring fairness in competition for all competitors.
Drug testing
