Involuntary muscle responsible for keeping the heart beating.
What is cardiac muscle?
A framework for developing fitness programs that emphasise the variables Frequency, Intensity, Time or duration of exercise and Type of exercise
What is the FITT principle?
Movements for which the performer determines the timing and speed of execution
What are self-paced skills?
Motivation that comes from within the individual
What is intrinsic motivation?
Refers to the constant changes that occur in our level of health
What is dynamic health?
A network that distributes blood containing oxygen and nutrients and collects wastes; it comprises the heart, arteries, blood and veins
What is the circulatory or cardiovascular system?
The manipulation of training and nutrition prior to endurance events to maximise muscle glycogen (carbohydrate) stores
What is carbohydrate loading?
Applied when a skill is broken into smaller components and each discrete subskill (subroutine) is practised separately
Wht is the part practice method?
Characterised by an improvement in performance out of fear of the consequences of not performing to expectations
What is negative motivation?
Determinants of health that include culture, affluence, social cohesion, social
What are broad features of society?
Muscle fibres that contract quickly and are used during fast, explosive activities; referred to as ‘white’ as they contain less blood
What are fast twitch muscle fibres?
Involves repeated bouts of high-intensity exercise followed by varying periods of complete rest or recovery at lower intensity
What is high-intensity interval training?
Information about the pattern of the movement during execution
What is knowledge of performance?
Predominantly a psychological process characterised by fear or apprehension in anticipation of confronting a situation perceived to be potentially threatening
What is anxiety?
The study of the patterns, causes and effects of health-related states or events (including disease)
What is epidemiology?
Oxygen-carrying component of the blood
What is haemoglobin?
A by-product of the incomplete breakdown of carbohydrate in the absence of oxygen
What is glycolytic (lactic acid)?
Skills that occur in an environment that is stable and predictable
What are closed skills?
The act of managing thoughts and feelings to enable goal-directed actions
What is self-regulation?
A scale on which an individual’s health can be measured or assessed; usually includes categories such as very poor, poor, fair, good and very good
What is the health continuum?
The tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes
What is homeostasis?
The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute
What is cardiac output?
Involves a broken practice session, with intervals of rest or alternative activities being longer than practice intervals
What is distributed practice?
A feeling of trust in one’s own ability, qualities and judgement
What is self-confidence?
The number or proportion (of e.g. cases or instances) in a population at a given time
What is prevalence?
