Explain how the lungs respond to exercise and physical activity
The lungs increase respiratory rate to increase the volume of air moving in and out of the lungs per minute. This increases the amount of oxygen absorbed (via alveoli) and carbon dioxide expelled from the body.
Give at least 2 examples using the FITT principal.
Frequency: AEROBIC 3x week, ANAEROBIC 1-2x week
Intensity: AEROBIC 60-85%MHR, ANAEROBIC 80-100%MHR
Time: AEROBIC 35-45min, ANAEROBIC 10-20min
Type: AEROBIC running/cycling ANAEROBIC sprints/intervals/weights
How is momentum related to velocity and the mass of an object? (momentum = mass kg x velocity)
a larger object moving at the same velocity as a smaller object will have greater momentum
The vertical jump test is a measure of a skill-related component of fitness. Which of the following events would this component be most important for?
a) Marathon
b) 400m hurdles
c) High jump
d) Discus throw
c) High jump
Which option modules will we be studying in the HSC course?
a) Health of Young People and Equity and Health
b) Health Priorities in Australia and Factors Affecting Performance
c) Sports Medicine and Factors Affecting Performance
d) Sports Medicine and Improving Performance
d) Sports Medicine and Improving Performance
Explain the movement of the muscles during a leg curl (demonstrate). Refer to antagonist and agonist, types of contractions, and joint movements.
The hinge joint at the knee moves into flexion, causing the an eccentric contraction in the quadricep as the antagonist, and a concentric contraction in the hamstring as the agonist. As the hinge joint in the knee moves into extension, the hamstring undergoes eccentric contraction as the antagonist, while the quadricep contracts concentrically as the agonist.
Describe 2 immediate physiological responses to training
Any two:
Heart rate
Ventilation rate
Stroke volume
Cardiac output
Lactate levels
Explain how an athlete can reduce their fluid resistance during a 100m swim race and why it is advantageous.
Reduce friction drag by wearing swim suits that cover most of the body and removing body hair. Goggles, swimming caps.
Keeping limbs close to midline of the body, head down in alignment of the body.
By reducing drag, they move through the water more efficiently due to the reduced resistance and reduced surface area as they travel through the water.
Which term defines the amount of blood pumped by the heart in a single contraction?
a)Heart rate
b) Ventilation rate
c) Stroke volume
d) Cardiac output
c) Stroke volume
How many marks is each section worth in the HSC exam?
a) Section 1: 60 marks, Section 2: 40 marks
b) Section 1: 30 marks, Section 2: 20 marks
c) Section 1: 40 marks, Section 2: 60 marks
d) Section 1: 20 marks, Section 2: 30 marks
a) Section 1: 60 marks, Section 2: 40 marks
