100
Name three teaching styles
Command, reciprocal, discovery, and problem solving.
100
Name 3 types of guidance.
Verbal Visual Manual / Mechanical
100
Name 3 fitness components and the fitness test used to measure each.
Stamina - multi staged fitness test Muscular endurance - sit ups test Strength - grip dynamometer Flexibility - sit and reach test Power - sergeant jump / broad jump test Speed - 20m sprint Agility - Illinois agility test Reaction time - ruler drop test Balance - stork stand test Coordination - Anderson ball catch test
100
Name the 6 principles of training.
Specificity, progression, overload, reversibility, tedium, overtraining.
100
Name the 4 types of stretching.
Active Passive Static (PNF) Ballistic
200
Define the progressive part method of teaching.
The skill is broken down into parts. Each part is learnt and linked together to practice as a sequence (A, A+B, A+B+C etc).
200
Name two ways of structuring practice time.
Distributed practice and massed practice.
200
'Terminal feedback given some time after the event' is the definition for which term?
Delayed feedback
200
Name 3 ways of achieving overload.
By increasing: Frequency Intensity Time (or changing type)
200
Name 3 components of a warm up.
General warm up (pulse raiser) Stretching Skills specific warm up Psychological preparation
300
Name 3 factors which need to be considered when deciding which teaching style to use.
The teacher (their knowledge / experience) The activity (complexity and danger of skill) The learner(s) (level of skill, fitness, motivation etc) The learning situation (group size, space, time, equipment)
300
Give 3 key points for successful visual guidance.
Ensure demonstration is accurate. Draw learners attention to key points (cueing) Ensure learner is in position to see all key points. Ensure demonstration is achieveable / attainable. Combine with verbal guidance. Allow time for mental rehearsal.
300
Give 3 reasons for fitness testing.
Establish strengths and weaknesses of performer. Establish effectiveness of coaching programme. Allow comparison between performers. Provide motivation. Allow for goal setting. Add variety to training. Act as a training session in itself.
300
Name the 6 methods of training.
Continuous Intermittent training Circuit training Weight training Plyometrics Mobility training
300
Define active and passive stretching.
Active - holding stretch using your own agonist muscles. Passive - holding stretch using something other than the agonist muscles.
400
Give 4 advantages of using the part method of practice.
Performer appraciates flow of whole movement. Performer develops their own schema. Good for skills which are quick or hard to break down. Easy to transfer skills from practice to game situation. Prevents boredom.
400
Give 4 advantages of distributed practice.
Better for beginners being introduced to new skill. Better for performers who are less fit. Better for performers who are less motivated. Allows for a variety of practice drills to develop schema. Good for continuous or gross motor skills. Better for complex skills requiring high concentration. Breaks allow for mental rehearsal / mental practice. Good for physically demanding skills. Good when task has an element of danger.
400
Name 4 factors which are required to ensure that fitness tests are meaningful.
Tests must be: Applicable to the sport. Valid. Reliable. Accurate. Sufficiently sensitive to detect changes in fitness.
400
Name 3 methods for measuring exercise intensity.
Borg scale. Using heart rate (and training zones) / Karvonen method. One rep max.
400
Give 4 physiological benefits of a warm-up.
Better oxygen delivery to muscles. Better chemical reactions to improve energy production. Improved muscle blood flow. Increased sensitivity of nerve receptors and speed of nerve conduction. Reduce risk of injury.
500
Give 5 situations when the command style would be advantageous.
When teacher has limited knowledge / confidence. If activity is highly complex or dangerous. If learners have no previous experience. If learners lack motivation. Poor learning situation (large numbers, limited time etc) Poor environment (weather)
500
Give 4 key points for successful verbal guidance.
Most effective when used with visual guidance. Good for drawing attention to key points (cueing). Best when kept brief. Can be used during a movement for advanced learners. Descriptions must be clear and concise.
500
Name 9 types of feedback.
Intrinsic & Extrinsic. Positive & Negative. Concurrent, terminal and delayed. Knowledge of performance & Knowledge of results.
500
How a performer use knowledge of training zones to ensure that they are training aerobically?
Work out max heart rate (220-age). Aerobic training zone is roughly 50-70% of max heart rate. E.g. for a 20 yr old the aerobic zone will be 110-154 bpm. Use heart rate monitor throughout training to ensure that heart rate stays within this range.
500
Give 4 physiological benefits of a cool down.
Aid dissipation of waste products (inc lactic acid). Reduce potential for delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS). Reduce chances of dizziness and fainting due to blood pooling. Reduce levels of adrenaline in blood. Allow heart rate to return to resting level.
