Energy Systems
This energy system provides energy for the first 10 seconds of intense exercise.
What is the ATP-PC system
Drinking fluids after exercise helps replace this.
What is lost fluid or electrolytes
This training method involves running at a steady pace for a long time.
What is continuous training
Sports drinks and protein powders are examples of these types of enhancers.
What are legal performance enhancers
The ‘D’ in DRSABCD stands for this.
What is Danger
This system uses glucose without oxygen to produce energy quickly.
What is the anaerobic glycolysis system
This recovery method involves light movement to remove lactic acid.
What is active recovery
Sprinting for 30 seconds, resting, then repeating is an example of this type of training.
What is interval training
Blood doping and steroids are examples of these types of enhancers.
What are illegal performance enhancers
You should check for this before approaching a casualty.
What is danger or safety hazards
This energy system is dominant in endurance activities like long-distance running.
What is the aerobic system
Ice baths and contrast water therapy are examples of this type of recovery.
What is cold water or temperature-based recovery
This training method involves repeated short bursts of high intensity followed by rest periods.
What is HIIT (high-intensity interval training)
Choosing not to use banned substances even when others do reflects this type of influence on decision-making.
What is an ethical influence (or ethical reasoning)
This action provides oxygen to someone who isn’t breathing.
What is rescue breathing or CPR
Name the fuel source used by the aerobic energy system during long-duration activity.
What is fat (and carbohydrates)
Explain how sleep supports both physical and mental recovery.
What is it repairs muscles, restores energy, and improves focus and mood
Resistance training can be adjusted by changing these two variables.
What are load (weight) and repetitions (or sets)
Some athletes use performance enhancers because they feel pressure from coaches, fans, or media to succeed. This is an example of what type of influence?
What is a sociocultural influence
Explain why recovery position is important for an unconscious but breathing person.
What is it keeps their airway clear and prevents choking on vomit
In a 400m sprint, explain which two energy systems interact and why.
What are the ATP-PC and anaerobic glycolysis systems, because the event is high intensity but lasts longer than the ATP-PC system alone can supply energy
Evaluate which recovery method would best suit an athlete competing in multiple games over one weekend.
What is active recovery combined with proper hydration, nutrition, and rest? (accept reasoned answers)
Explain why a soccer player might combine fartlek and resistance training in their fitness program.
What is to improve both aerobic endurance and muscular strength for performance
Discuss how fairness and integrity shape athletes’ attitudes toward performance enhancement.
What is ethical beliefs about fairness, honesty, and sportsmanship influence whether athletes view enhancement as acceptable or cheating
Evaluate how quick first aid response can influence the outcome of a sporting injury.
What is it can prevent complications, reduce recovery time, and save lives
