What are the measures of epidemiology?
What are the 3 energy systems?
Alactacid System (ATP/PC)
Lactic Acid
Aerobic
What does physical preparation involve?
pre-screening
skill and technique
physical fitness
warmup, stretching and cool down
What drugs are used for strength?
HGH
Anabolic steroids
Trait anxiety refers to a general level of stress that is characteristic of each individual.
State anxiety is more specific. This type of anxiety is characterised by a state of heightened emotions that develop in response to fear or danger.
What are the levels of responsibility for health promotion?
- individuals and families
- groups in the community and industry, such as schools, workplaces and the media
- all levels of government — local, state and Commonwealth
- non-government organisations, both Australian and international.
Stress is characterised by what signs and symptoms?
increased blood supply to skeletal muscles
more oxygen to the lungs
increased glucose production to provide extra fuel
increased sweat production to cool the body
202tightened muscles to prepare the body for action.
What does TOTAPS stand for?
Talk, Observe, Touch, Active Movement, Passive Movement, Skills Test
Use of technology relates to what?
Training innovations
Equipment advances
What are the 5 action areas of the Ottawa Charter?
developing personal skills
creating supportive environments
strengthening community action
reorienting health services
building healthy public policy.
coronary heart disease — the poor supply of blood to the muscular walls of the heart by its own blood supply vessels, the coronary arteries
stroke — the interruption of the supply of blood to the brain
peripheral vascular disease — diseases of the arteries, arterioles and capillaries that affect the limbs, usually reducing blood supply to the legs.
What are the 6 principles of training?
Progressive Overload
Specificity
Training Thresholds
Variety
Reversibility
Warm up/Cool down
Direct/Indirect
Hard or soft tissue
Overuse
Define periodisation
The process of structuring training into phases or periods that can be managed independently of other periods is called periodisation.
Periodisation is an organisational arrangement that cycles the various units of training blocks into manageable parts. It is a structured annual plan for training that is broken down into blocks which are further broken down into small units where the workload can be examined and scrutinised. The aim of this is to ensure that critical training elements, namely volume and intensity, are better administered.
What are the 3 stages of skill acquisition?
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
What are the limitations of epidemiology?
do not always show variations among population subgroups
Statistics tell us little about the degree and impact of illness.
cannot provide the whole health picture
fail to explain ‘why’ health inequities persist
do not account for health determinants — the social, economic, environmental and cultural factors that shape health.
Describe carbohydrate loading
arbohydrate loading is the process used by athletes to ensure glycogen stores in muscle and the liver are at their maximum. They do this by tapering training levels and consuming large amounts of complex carbohydrates in the week before competition. Carbohydrate loading benefits performance that would normally deplete glycogen stores and delays the onset of fatigue caused by a greater reliance on fat to produce ATP in the aerobic energy system.
What are the considerations for female athletes?
Eating disorders
Iron deficiency
Bone density
Pregnancy
What are the elements of a training session?
Overview
Warm up/Cool down
Skill instruction and practise
Conditioning
Evaluation
What are 3 benefits of private health insurance?
shorter waiting times for treatment
being able to stay in a hospital of their own choice
being able to have a doctor of their own choice in hospital
ancillary benefits, such as dental cover
security, protection, peace of mind
private rooms in hospital
insurance cover while overseas.
What are 5 complementary/alternative health care approaches available in Australia?
Acupuncture, Iridology, Chiropractic, Aromatherapy, Herbalism, Massage, Meditation, Naturopathy.
What are 5 physiological adaptations in response to training? (there are 8 in total for bonus points)
Resting Heart (decreases)
Stroke Volume
Cardiac Output
Oxygen Uptake
Lung Capacity
Haemoglobin Level
Muscle Hypertrophy
Effect on Fast-Twitch and Slow-Twitch muscle fibres
What are the stages of Graduated Exercise?
Graduated exercise involves:
stretching
conditioning
achieving total body fitness.
What are the variables of a strength training program?
repetitions — the number of times an exercise is repeated without rest
repetitions maximum — the maximum weight that can be lifted a specified number of times. For example, 1 RM equals the maximum weight that can be lifted only once; 8 RM equals the maximum weight that can be lifted eight times.
set — a number of repetitions done in succession; for example, one set equals 10 repetitions
resistance — the weight or load
rest — the period of time between exercises, sets or sessions
periodisation — the process of varying the training load over discrete periods of time.
What are the differences between personal versus prescribed judging criteria?
Personal criteria are the preconceived ideas or expectations that an individual brings to judge a performance. Prescribed criteria are established by a sports organisation or body and form the basis of assessment for competitions in that sport or activity.
