100

What is the term to describe the product of chemical reactions to produce movement?

Energy

100

What are the three main types of nutrients found in food ?

Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats

100

What is the ATP-PC system

Suitable for high intensity activities that have a short duration like a 50m sprint

100

 What is lactic acid?

A by-product of anaerobic glycolysis that is created when glucose is partially broken down to provide energy for ATP resynthesis

100

Define Vo2 Max

a measure of an individual's maximum oxygen consumption during intense physical activity.

200

The term used to describe the body's ability to participate in physical activity

Fitness

200

What is the products of the chemical reaction that breaks down carbohydrates?

Glucose

200

What is the Lactic acid system ?

Suitable for high intensity activities that have a short to medium duration like a 400m

200

What is lactate?

a component of lactic acid that remains after hydrogen ions (i.e. the acidic component of lactic acid) are separated

200

Define Lactate Threshold

the point at which lactic acid (i.e. lactate and hydrogen ions) begins to accumulate in the muscles at a faster rate than it can be removed (in the blood)

300

The term to describe activities completed by an athlete to improve fitness in their chosen sport?

Training

300

What is the product of the chemical reaction that takes place to break down proteins?

Amino Acids

300

What is aerobic system?

Suitable for lower intensity activities that have a long duration like a 15km run 

300

Identify the fitness components. 

Speed, Power, Strength, aerobic capacity, agility, muscular endurance, flexibility

300

How do you calculate your lactate threshold?

85 % of maximum heart rate 

400

The study of Energy, Fitness and Training

Exercise Physiology

400

What is the product of the chemical reaction that takes place to break down fats?

Fatty Acids 

400

What is glycolysis?

The process of breaking down glycogen in order to resynthesise ATP

400

Define Aerobic Capacity and training methods to improve this component.

Aerobic capacity is the ability of the heart, lungs and circulatory system to supply oxygen and nutrients efficiently to working muscles and remove waste products.

Continuous, Interval, Fartlek

400

Identify 3 acute physiological adaptations. 

Increased HR, respiratory rate, muscular temperature, muscle fibre recruitment. 

500

A plan developed to improve the performance of an athlete to achieve their goals 

Training strategies.

500

What is the chemical energy that is produced from nutrients processed by the body ?

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

500

What is anaerobic glycolysis?

The process of breaking down glycogen without oxygen present via the lactic acid system

500

Define Power 

Power is the ability to exert maximum force in the shortest amount of time. Power is the product of strength and speed.

500

Define chronic physiological adaptations and provide an example

Chronic physiological adaptations are longer-term changes in body systems and organs that take place with training over time.

Improve ability to deliver oxygen around the body
