Exercise assessment
What are 3 pieces of information collected from pre-exercise questionnaires?
age
gender
health status
medical conditions
use of any medication
current or past injuries
current physical activity levels
"without oxygen"
anaerobic training
list the 6 principles of training
Progressive overload
Training thresholds
Reversibility
Specificity
Variety
Warm-up and cool-down
What is the Capital city of Australia?
Canberra
What does FITT stand for
Frequency
Intensity
Type
Time
What are the 5 types of training
Anaerobic
Aerobic
Flexibility
Strength
Skill and tactical development
what is the purpose of a warm-up and cool-down?
warm-up:
Reduce the risk of injury/soreness
Increase body temperature and enzyme activity = faster + powerful muscle contractions
Stimulate the cardiorespiratory system.
cool-down:
Helps to disperse and metabolise lactic acid concentration, as well as replenishing the body’s energy stores.
What is one food that never goes bad?
Honey
Explain how exercise assessment can assist in developing training programs
helps set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound)
individualisation/differentiation
identifies strengths and weaknesses
What do HIIT, SIT and PNF stand for? and which training type are they relevant to?
High Intensity Interval Training - anaerobic
Sprint Interval Training - anaerobic
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation - flexibility
If an athlete uses interval training to improve aerobic capacity but their sport requires mostly anaerobic bursts, this principle is being violated.
Specificity
Forward, I am heavy; backward, I am not. What am I?
A "Ton"
In the syllabus, what were the two fitness test examples listed for recreational and elite athletes to improve their health, participation and performance
Yo-yo test/beep test
Wingate test
What is the work to rest ratio for HIIT for a beginner, intermediate and advanced athlete
beginner - 1:2
intermediate - 1:1
advanced - 2:1
This principle determines whether the body relies primarily on fat oxidation or carbohydrate oxidation during exercise.
aerobic threshold
What is the national animal of Scotland?
Unicorn
