Functional Anatomy
This outer layer of connective tissue surrounds the entire skeletal muscle.
Epimysium
This is what should be ingested 30 minutes before an endurance activity
High-GI snack
This leadership style has the coach making all decisions with no consultation with athletes.
Authoritarian (autocratic)
Momentum is calculated by multiplying these two quantities together
Mass & velocity
An athlete talks to themselves to reduce stress, regulate arousal or increase motivation. This strategy is known by this name.
Self-talk
This part of the motor neuron receives signals from the central nervous system.
Dendrite
A cold towel or ice vest cools an athlete mainly through this type of heat transfer
Conduction
This is the first stage of the Knudson and Morrison model, where the coach gathers knowledge of key features and common errors of a skill.
Preparation
This lever class has the force applied between the axis and the resistance
3rd class lever
A basketballer bounces the ball three times and takes a breath before every free throw. This is an example of this strategy.
Performance routine
These “red” muscle fibres use oxygen efficiently and resist fatigue, making them ideal for marathon runners.
Type I (slow twitch) fibres
An athlete who is competing in an event that lasts more than an hour should consume approximately this much fluid during the event
200-300ml per 15-20 mins
Describe chaining
This method teaches a complex skill by breaking it into simpler components, teaching each in sequence, then combining them.
This type of drag, caused by friction between an object’s surface and the fluid, is why swimmers wear specialised suits or shave.
Surface drag (skin friction)
This type of cohesion refers to the interpersonal connections that allow team members to interact positively.
Social cohesion
Describe the 'all or none' law
This law states that all muscle fibres in a motor unit contract to their maximum at the same time or not at all.
This is the change made in a training program, called tapering, to ensure the athlete peaks at the appropriate time.
Increase intensity, decrease volume
There are three types of transfer of learning. List them and choose which is the best example of you practicing your badminton/volleyball skills to demonstrate them in your exam.
Training - competition
Theory - practice
Skill - skill
Training - competition
This principle explains why a diver tucks in mid-air and spins faster because moment of inertia decreases while angular momentum stays constant.
Conservation of angular momentum
This is the tendency for individuals to put in less effort in a group than when working alone.
Social loafing
During the sliding filament theory, this band of the sarcomere, which contains only actin, becomes narrower while the A band stays the same length.
I band
Describe blood doping
This technique reinjects an athlete’s own previously drawn red blood cells. It increases oxygen-carrying capacity but raises the risk of blood clots.
When and why would a coach use a laissez-faire approach to coaching
Experienced athlete, individual, in training, lots of time.
Draw a diagram and explain how applying an eccentric force on a ball causes it to spin.
Magnus effect diagram with explanation
A team’s players are close friends off the field but fail to work together toward a shared goal on it. They have strong this type of cohesion but weak this type.
Strong social cohesion, weak task cohesion
