Why might a tennis player use agility drills in their training program?

To improve their ability to change direction quickly and efficiently in response to an opponent or the ball.

Define Incidence, Mortality, Morbidity and prevalence

  • Incidence: The number of new cases of a disease or condition that develop in a specific population over a defined period of time.
  • Prevalence: The total number of cases (both new and pre-existing) present in a population at a specific point in time or over a specified period.
  • Morbidity: The state of being symptomatic, diseased, or unhealthy due to a medical condition, referring to the level of ill-health in a population while explicitly excluding death.
  • Mortality: The occurrence of death within a population.

TOTAPS


  • T – Talk: Speak to the injured athlete to ask what happened, where it hurts, the type of pain (e.g., sharp, dull), and the mechanism of injury.
  • O – Observe: Visually inspect the injured site. Compare it to the uninjured side to check for swelling, bruising, deformity, redness, or bleeding.
  • T – Touch: Gently palpate (feel) around the injury site—starting away from the pain and moving closer—to check for localized tenderness, heat, or abnormal lumps.
  • A –Active Movement: Ask the injured person to move the affected limb or joint independently through its range of motion to see how far they can move it without pain.
  • P – Passive Movement: Gently support and move the injured joint through its range of motion yourself to test stability and check where pain or restriction occurs.
  • S – Skills Test: Have the athlete perform light, sport-specific movements (such as a gentle jog, side-step, or bounce) to check functional readiness before returning to play.

300

What are the five components of health-related fitness?

Cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition.

300

RSVPWT & ATP



  • R - Reversibility: Fitness gains are lost when training stops ("use it or lose it").
  • S – Specificity: Training must target the exact energy systems, fitness components, and muscle groups required for the sport.
  • V – Variety: Changing up drills and methods keeps athletes motivated and prevents mental boredom.
  • P – Progressive Overload: Gradually increasing the training workload (intensity, time, or frequency) forces the body to continuously adapt and improve.
  • W – Warm Up & Cool Down: Essential routines to prepare the body for intense work and safely transition it back to a resting state.
  • T – Training Thresholds: Exercising within specific target zones (aerobic vs. anaerobic) to trigger targeted physiological improvements.

Adenosine Tri-Phosphate

What does VO₂ max measure?

The maximum rate at which the body can take in, transport and use oxygen during intense exercise.

Thought you were slick? picking FA2 400 question expecting an easy answer. Wrong. Heres a FA1 500 question.:

What is big data? Name 3 ways it reduces healthcare spending

Big data refers to the collection of information regarding health. This information is collected from a range of sources such as electronic health records (EHR) and wearable technology such as smart watches that can monitor heart rate and sleep.

Any of these answers are acceptable:

How is it reducing healthcare spending?

  • Preventing unnecessary treatments: Data identifies effective treatments, helping avoid wasteful or duplicate procedures.
  • Better resource allocation: Governments use data to invest in services with the greatest impact, reducing pressure on emergency departments and hospitals.
  • Chonic disease management: Big data helps track long-term conditions and support earlier, lower-cost interventions before hospitalisation is needed.
  • Effiiency improvements: Streamlining patient care through shared data reduces delays and errors.

How is it being used to cure and manage diseases?

  • Personalised medicine: Analysing patient genetics, lifestyle and health records to tailor treatments (e.g. for cancer or heart conditions).
  • Monitoring treatment outcomes: Tracking medication effectiveness and side effects across large populations to improve treatment guidelines.
  • Chronic condition management: Linking data from wearables and health services to monitor conditions like asthma, diabetes and mental health in real time.
  • Medical research: Data from millions of Australians is used in research to develop new therapies and improve clinical guidelines.

RICER & POLICE

Additionally, what are each one used for? (additional 100 points)


  • R – Rest: Stop using the injured area to prevent further damage.
  • I – Ice: Apply a cold pack to reduce swelling and pain.
  • C – Compression: Wrap the area firmly with a bandage to control swelling.
  • E – Elevation: Raise the injured area above heart level to reduce swelling.
  • R – Referral: Seek advice or diagnosis from a qualified medical professional.


  • P – Protection: Shield or support the injured area (using tape, braces, or crutches) to prevent further damage.
  • O & L – Optimal Loading: Introduce early, pain-free movement and exercise to stimulate healing instead of complete rest.
  • I – Ice: Apply cold therapy when needed for pain or significant swelling.
  • C – Compression: Use a bandage to limit swelling.
  • E – Elevation: Elevate the limb to assist fluid flow.

What is the difference between a concentric and an eccentric muscle contraction?  

Concentric contractions involve a muscle shortening; eccentric contractions involve a muscle lengthening while producing force.

400

What is one way a community health initiative could measure whether it is successful?

Measure participation, service use, changes in health indicators, survey results or community feedback.

500

Lucky boy, you get the FA2 400 question.

A sprinter needs to improve acceleration and explosive power. Recommend two training methods and justify your choices.

Sprint training and resistance or plyometric training, justified by their development of speed, force production and power.

500

Assess how fitness testing and exercise assessment can be combined to develop an effective training program for an elite athlete.

Exercise assessment identifies health, movement and performance needs. Fitness testing establishes measurable baselines and weaknesses. Together, they guide individualised training methods, workloads and progress monitoring.

500

What does SMART stand for in goal setting?


  • S – Specific: Define the exact goal by answering who, what, where, when, why, and how. Avoid vague statements like "get in shape" in favor of "run 5 miles without stopping".
  • M – Measurable: Establish concrete metrics to track your progress and know when you have crossed the finish line.
  • A – Achievable (or Attainable): Ensure the goal is realistic given your current skills, energy, and available resources.
  • R – Relevant (or Realistic): Verify that the goal matters to you or aligns with broader personal or business missions.
  • T – Time-bound: Set a strict deadline or target date to create urgency and momentum.

What does PBS stand for in Australia's healthcare system? and how does it work

Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. it subsidizes the payment of healthcare for australians

A rugby league coach wants to improve a player's repeated high-intensity efforts. Recommend a training method and explain how specificity and progressive overload should be applied.

Anaerobic interval or sprint interval training can develop repeated high-intensity performance. Specificity means matching the work intervals to the demands of rugby league, while progressive overload gradually increases workload as the player adapts.
