PEQs, Health Screening & Exercise Assessment
Gathers information on medical history, lifestyle, medications & previous exercise experience.
What is 'Pre-exercise Questionnaires'
Who are the TWO population groups that fitness testing cater for?
What is 'recreational participants & elite athletes'
How many types of training are there?
What is '5'
Changing training methods, exercises and intensity to maintain motivation & prevent overuse injuries.
What is 'Variety'
measured in beats per minute (bpm)
What is 'Heart Rate'
Conduct physical assessments e.g. BMI, blood pressure, MRIs, x-rays.
What is 'Health Screening'
What is ONE (1) health benefit of fitness testing?
What is
Recreational Participants
- assess cardiovascular health, muscular strength, flexibility & body composition
- safe & effective exercise programs
Elite Athletes
- focus on injury prevention, recovery & physiological adaptations
- optimise training while reducing risk of injury
This stretch is held in a stationary position for roughly 15-60 seconds.
What is 'Static Flexibility'
Training must be targeted to the sport, activity or fitness goal.
What is 'Specificity'
The amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle per beat.
What is "Stroke Volume'
Exercise Assessment aims to: (1)
What is
- evaluate an athlete's fitness level
- identify strengths & weaknesses
- set realistic goals (short & long)
(one reason acceptable from this list or teacher discretion)
What are the THREE (3) areas fitness testing aims to improve?
What is 'health, participation and performance'
What are the training methods for BOTH Aerobic & Strength training?
What is
Aerobic = continuous, fartlek, aerobic interval & circuit
Strength = free/fixed weights, body weight exercises & elastics
“Use it or Lose it!”
What is 'Reversibility'
The total volume blood the heart pumps per minute.
What is 'Cardiac Output'
What are THREE (3) reasons why it is important to conduct PEQs & Health Screening tests.
What is:
- identify health risks
- prevent further injuries
- ensure duty of care
- personalise exercise programs
(can be any three of these responses)
What is ONE (1) benefit of fitness testing to enhance participation for Recreational Athletes?
What is 'set realistic goals, ensuring enjoyable, ability-appropriate exercise'
Benefits of Elastics (2)
What is
- Lightweight & portable
- Joint-friendly
- Versatile (for strength, flexibility and/or rehabilitation)
Can be TWO of these or any others answers accepted by tracher)
Provide an example of Progressive Overload for BOTH Aerobic & Strength training.
What is
Aerobic = run longer distances e.g. 500m increase every two weeks (or %MHR, 60% to 65% MHR)
Strength = increase load e.g. 1kg increase every two weeks (or increase reps/sets)
What is Haemolglobin?
What is 'molecule responsible for the binding of oxygen to red blood cells'.
What are FOUR (4) ways exercise assessment can assist in developing training programs.
What is
- Monitoring progress & making adjustments
- enhancing motivation
- educating risk of injury
- designing personalised training programs
(Need four responses, can be others if teacher approved)
What are the TWO (2) tests that assess Cardiovascular Endurance & Power? (syllabus)
What is 'Yo Yo & Wingate tests'
What are the training methods for BOTH Strength Training & Skill / Tactical Development?
What is
Strength Training = free/fixed weights, body weight exercises and elastics
Skill & Tactical Development = Drills, Modified Games & Games for Specific Outcomes.
What level of exercise intensity (%MHR) sees NO improvements to performance.
What is 'below 60% MHR'.
Outline the differences between fast & slow twitch muscle fibres
What is
Fast = short activities, more explosive movements e.g. sprinting
Slow = long activities e.g. marathon running
