A learner in the Cognitive stage benefits from this type of practice, which involves repeatedly performing the same skill in a predictable environment, such as 20 consecutive chest passes.

Blocked Practice

100

This law of motion states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force, such as the ground pushing back on a sprinter's foot.

Newton's 3rd law

100

This period at the beginning of exercise occurs because the oxygen supply cannot immediately meet the heightened oxygen demand, requiring anaerobic systems to supply energy.

Oxygen Deficit

100

What is the most likely fatiguing factor for an ultra marathon runner?

Glycogen depletion

100

This training principle requires that the training methods, intensity, and muscle actions must precisely replicate the physiological demands identified by an activity analysis.

Specificty

200

This psychological strategy, provided by a coach, is required frequently during the Cognitive stage because the learner is generally unable to use intrinsic feedback to assess their performance.

Augmented feedback

200

This anatomical lever system is characterized by the force being located between the axis (joint) and the resistance (load), favoring speed and range of motion.

Third class lever

200

This acute response, measured in Litres per minute, is a product of respiratory rate (breaths/min) multiplied by tidal volume (L/breath) (remember to include the change)

Increased Ventilation

200

What is the benefit and negative of using FFA as fuel instead of CHO?

High yield, but required a lot of oxygen to break down!

200

This gradual, structured increase in training stress is applied to ensure performance improvements continue

Progression/progressive overload

300

In the Cognitive stage, a coach should provide instructions that are explicit, short, and to the point, rather than complex, detailed explanations, to avoid this issue for the learner.

High Cognitive load

300

When a figure skater pulls their arms in close while spinning, they are manipulating this quantity, defined as the product of an object's moment of inertia and its angular velocity.

Angular Momentum

300

Explain what would occur during exercise in relation to Redistribution of Blood Flow.

This acute response describes the process of redirecting blood away from inactive areas, such as the viscera, and towards the working muscles via simultaneous vasoconstriction and vasodilation.

300

What does ATP stand for?

Adenosine Tri-phosphate

300

This type of training method, which involves alternating high-intensity efforts with periods of low-intensity jogging or recovery

Fartlek training

400

Coaches often use this type of coaching strategy—which is characterized by explicit instruction and the coach controlling the learning environment—when working with athletes who require minimal teaching points

Direct or linear approach

400

To maximize stability, a performer should keep their line of gravity within the edges of their....

Base of support

400

This acute response is the rise in heart rate that can occur before exercise even begins, typically prompted by the brain releasing adrenaline and noradrenaline in anticipation of the forthcoming activity.

Anticipatory rise in heart rate

400
What system produces an incomplete breakdown of glycogen?

Anaerobic Glycolysis system

400

Define Tapering and explain when it should occur

Reducing workload but maintaining intensity prior to a competition or heavy training load (1-4 weeks before the event)
