What are the main fuel sources of the aerobic system
Carbohydrates, proteins and fats

True or False - Examples of intrinsic motivation are financial remuneration and crowds.
False - Intrinsic motivation comes from within the individual. Therefore, they achieve effort and self accomplishment. Financial remuneration and crowds are examples of extrinsic motivation.

Identify ONE nutritional consideration during performance
Water and sports drinks.
100
Identify the three stages of skill acquisition
Cognitive, associative and autonomous

What are three somatotypes?
Endomorphy, Mesomorphy and Ectomorphy
200
What are the different types of aerobic training methods?
Continuous, fartlek, aerobic interval and circuit

Complete the following: Trait anxiety is the athlete's ____________ to a certain situation and state anxiety is the ___________ response of the athlete.
predisposition, emotional
200
What is the difference between vitamins and minerals
Vitamins are organic compounds required in small quanities for growth, development and metabolism, whereas minerals are elements that are found in food which is important for cellular function.
200
How does ability influence skill instruction?
Ability is the individuaal being able to perform a movement or routine.This will influence skill instruction, because the learner will have different abilities to the sport. The learner has to believe what skills are right for that sport.
200
What does PNF stand for?
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
300
What is the structure of a warm up and explain what each one involves
General aerobic activity involves jogging and skipping. Stretching increases range of motion of joints and prevents muscle tears. Callistehnics involves push ups, star jumps and sit ups which increases blood flow to working muscles. Skill rehearsal is performing movements or skills that will be repreated in the game.
300
What does mental rehearsal allow the athlete to do?
Practise old skills, learn new skills, experience success, control anxiety and arousal levels and develop coping strategies.
300
What is one positive and one negative of creatine products?
Positive - increases efficiency of ATP/PC system by increasing ATP synthesis. Negative - can cause weight gain, therefore decreases ability to perform
300
How do performance elements achieve performance?
Decision making involves making decisions in performance like situations. Observation, questioning, whole part, whole approach strategy and variation all achieve decision making. Strategic understanding is the way that athletes play, where they should be at a particular time and what to do. An example is returning the ball in tennis using a backhand. Tactical awareness utlises ways of gaining advantage over an opponent. An example is using a cut out pass in rugby league.

True/False - Is the cardiac output for an untrained individual lower than a trained individual at sub-maximal level?
False - It is the same as a trained athlete (13.3 L/min)
400
What is the difference between stroke volume and cardiac output?
Stoke volume is the amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle of the heart during a contraction, whereas cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute
400
What are two examples of external stress, where it is not under the athlete's control?
Audience, media, environment and the opposition.
400
What are the benefits of compression garments?
Decreases swelling and muscle soreness, increased blood flow, increases endurance, power and temperature regulation.
400
What is the difference between validity and reliability?
Validity is the honesty and accuracy of a test. It determines the strength of a relationship between a performance component and a test to design that component.For example, strength is the performance component and the handgrip dynamometer test is the test designed for that component. Reliability is the degreee of consistency of a test. This aims to produce the same results on successive occasions. For example, a 50 m sprint is reliable, as it is performed under the same conditions, repeating the same test.
400
Define carbohydrate loading and is it suitable for tapering?
Carbohydrate loading involves increasing the level of stored muscle glycogen and yes, it is suitable for tapering because the body needs to reduce energy from the body, so that the athlete can recover from competition.
500
Give an example of how progressive overload affects the adaptation of muscle hypertrophy
When performing weights, progressive overload occurs and this will develop muscle hypertrophy because of the weight that is balanced. The more weight on the bar, the bigger the muscle mass.
500
What does it mean when goals are collectively 'owned'?
When they are collectively owned, this means that goals are directed by coaches, parents or friends, as it achieves a higher level of commitment and direction.
500
Name two examples of high GI foods and how it can affect the performer.
White bread and soft drinks. This can affect the performer, as it increases the body's sugar level rapidly
500
What does the athlete focus on in the autonomous stage?
The athlete should adapt to higher order cognitive activities such as game strategies and external cues. E.g. spin on the ball or the position of the opposition. Temporal patterning is also developed, as the athlete knows how to perform a skill.
500
Name ALL of the nature of the skills
Open and closed, gross and fine, discrete, serial and continuous, self paced and externally paced skills.
