Name the 4 types of AEROBIC training.
Fartlek, Circuit, Long Interval, Continuous
Injuries which are sustained from continuous or repetitive stress, incorrect technique or equipment, or too much training.
Give a specific example
Overuse injuries, stress fractures, tendinitis
(eg tennis elbow, shin splints)
What is 1 benefit and 1 limitation of drug testing?
promoting safety in sport, promoting equity in sport, rewarding athletes for their ability, training and efforts
not all drugs can be tested for, new drugs get created frequently, and until they are created tests cannot be developed for them, testing exposes the athlete
What are 4 examples of alternative and complementary health care approaches?
Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, Bowen Therapeutic Technique, Chiropractic, Herbalism, Homeopathy, Hypnosis, Iridology, Massage, Meditation, Naturopathy
What are the 3 dash points under anxiety and arousal?
trait and state anxiety
sources of stress
optimum arousal
Name the 6 types of soft tissue injuries?
tears, sprains, contusions
skin abrasions, lacerations, blisters
How can athletes plan to avoid over training? Give examples
amount and intensity of training
physiological considerations, eg lethargy, injury
psychological considerations, eg loss of motivation.
How do we assess a growing and ageing population?
- healthy ageing
- increased population living with chronic disease
- demand for health care services and workforce shortages
- availability of carers and volunteers
What are the physiological adaptations in response to training
resting heart rate
stroke volume and cardiac output
oxygen uptake and lung capacity
haemoglobin level
muscle hypertrophy
effect on fast/slow twitch muscle fibres
How do iron deficiency and bone density affect participation in sport.
Iron deficiency - Iron is needed to allow haemoglobin to bind with oxygen and transport it around the body for the aerobic energy system and to speed up recovery from the lactic acid energy system. If not present fatigue will occur.
Bone density - A decrease in density causes the bone to become fragile, making the athlete more prone to fractures - High intensity and contact sports can cause the female athlete to suffer fractures
What are the 3 different methods of strength training. Give an example for each
resistance training, eg elastic, hydraulic
weight training, eg plates, dumbbells
isometric training, eg plank/prone hold, wall sit
How do we identify priority issues for Australia’s health?
- social justice principles (SJP)
- priority population groups
- prevalence of condition
- potential for prevention and early intervention
- costs to the individual and community
Characteristics of a skilled performer and performance elements.
- Kinaesthetic sense, anticipation, consistency, technique
- decision making, strategic and tactical development
What are the dash points for environmental considerations? Must include examples 3 example for each of the first 2 dash points. That's 6 all up out of 10
- temperature regulation (convection, radiation, conduction, evaporation)
- climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, wind, rain, altitude, pollution)
- guidelines for fluid intake
- acclimatisation
How would planning a training year differ for elite athletes and recreational/amateur participants? Give examples for each.
performance and fitness needs (individual, team)
schedule of events/competitions
climate and season
