The most common form of strength training, usually using plates and dumb-bells.
What is weight training?
100
Long, slow distance training such as running, swimming or cycling.
What is continuous/uniform training?
100
The product of strength and speed.
What is power?
100
Training that is achieved by the athlete moving slowly and steadily into a position beyond the point of resistance in order to stretch the muscle. The stretch position is then held for 10-30 seconds.
What is static flexibility training?
100
Practising skills either individually or in groups.
What is drills practice?
200
Using a resistance of greater than 80% of 1RM, and completing 3-6 sets of no more than 6 repetitions.
What is building muscular strength?
200
Swedish term meaning 'speed play'.
What is Fartlek?
200
Training sessions of high-intensity activity (near maximal), used to develop the anaerobic system. The work:rest ratio should be 1:3.
What is short-interval training?
200
A type of stretching that involves movement, often used in warm-up routines. Examples include torso twists and arm circling.
What is dynamic flexibility training?
200
Games in which some rules may be changed or smaller fields and fewer players used.
What are modified and small-sided games?
300
A type of strength training that involves static contractions and is a very valuable rehabilitation tool.
What is isometric training?
300
Training that involves periods of work interspersed with periods of recovery.
What is long-interval training?
300
Exercises that produce a stretching of a muscle group undergoing an eccentric contraction, followed by a rapid concentric contraction of the same muscle group.
What is plyometrics?
300
A static stretch followed by an isometric contraction of the muscle for 6-10 seconds against a resistance, which is often provided by a partner.
What is PNF stretching?
300
What is the purpose of the drill? Can participants perform the drill? How many people are involved? What equipment is necessary? How is it set up? How much time will be spent on it? What level of performance is expected?
What types of questions should a coach consider when planning new drills?
400
Exercises in which a partner assists where the biomechanical advantage is the least, and the muscle is thus weakest. The partner gently supports the weakest point.
What are forced repetitions?
400
This measurement can be established by determining a person's heart rate and ventilation, as opposed to performing invasive blood tests.
What is the lactate threshold?
400
This plyometric exercise involves dropping down from a box about 1-metre high, and then immediately jumping up.
What is a depth jump?
400
ROM
What is the abbreviation for range of motion?
400
Athletes will be motivated to perform if training is kept interesting and challenging. A range of drills for the practise of particular skills will aid this process.
Why is variety important?
500
This type of training can allow for greater specificity as athletes can train against a resistance whilst mimicking the movement patterns required for the sport. Other advantages include its relatively low cost and portability.
What is elastic resistance training?
500
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be used by the body per minute.
What is max VO₂?
500
Muscle elasticity, muscle-fibre type, biochemical responses and use of energy, nervous system responses and willpower.
What characteristics can determine the development of speed in an athlete?
500
This type of stretching involves using momentum to force muscles up to and past their normal range of motion. They typically involve swinging or bouncing movements and are NOT recommended as a safe way of improving flexibility.
What is ballistic flexibility training?
500
Through repetition, observation and visualisation.
