What is meant by the terms agonist/antagonist in reference to muscles.

Agonist - the muscle responsible for the movement

Antagonist - the muscle which relaxes to allow the movement to occur

100

If you wanted to train within the anaerobic training zone, you would be required to work at an intensity of:

85-100% max HR
65-85% max HR
50-65% max HR
>50% max HR

85-100% max HR

Contact forces are those that act on objects that come into direct contact with one another. Which one of the following is not a contact force?

A. Air resistance

B. Water resistance

C. Friction

D. Gravity

100

Complex skills are actions or movement patterns that cannot be readily learned by the imitation or demonstration/explanation/practice/correction methods. Which of the following coaching methods would be best suited to learning a complex skill?

Chaining/Shaping
Whole/Part Practice
Specific/Variable
Accuracy/Speed

Chaining/Shaping

100

Identify what the ‘T’ stands for in the SMART principle.

A. Timely
B. Training
C. Technique
D. Target

A. Timely

200

WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF MUSCULAR CONTRACTIONS?

Isometric

Concentric

Eccentric

200

What are the 5 principles of training?

Specificity

Intensity

Duration

Frequency

Progressive Overload

200

What are the 2 types of forces and give an example for each?

Internal - Muscles & tendons

External - Gravity

200

What are 3 roles & responsibilities of a coach?

Organising

Providing Feedback

Building Rapport

200

What are the 2 types of goals that can be used in goal setting?

Outcome Goal

Performance Goal

300

WHAT TYPE OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION OCCURS IN THE ABDOMINALS WHEN PERFORMING A SIT-UP (UPWARD PHASE)?

Concentric

300

State one (1) similarity and one (1) difference between the energy demands of a 5km long-distance runner and a 100m sprinter.

Similarity

both athletes will use ATP-CP when commencing their race
both require the use of the ATP-CP system when sprinting
Both will use the lactic acid energy system at times when the ATP-CP system is depleted and energy is needed quickly

Difference

the marathon runner will need to use aerobic energy system when working at lower intensity whereas sprinter won’t
the sprinter will use less energy in a 100 m race than a runner will use during a marathon.

300

Explain how force is produced.

Force is a ‘push’ or ‘pull’ exerted on an object or body altering the state of motion of the object/body and
Forces can be generated internally by muscular contractions, or externally through the action of weight and frictional forces, including air and water or
Cause a body to decelerate, accelerate, change direction and shape.

300

What is meant by the term "autocratic"?

relating to a ruler who has absolute power.

300

How does age influence the goals set by the coach?

Younger performers respond better to short term goals which are achievable.

400

Explain the difference between origin and insertion points

(Extra 300 points if you can identify the origin and insertion points of the gastrocnemius)

Origin:

The origin of a muscle is the attachment onto the bone that does not move when the muscle contracts.

Insertion:

The insertion is attached to the bone which moves more when the muscle contracts.

Bonus:

Origin (where the muscle starts)

- Medial and lateral sides of the femur

Insertion

- Calcaneus

400

Identify 1 fitness test to measure the capacities of both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems.

Aerobic: yoyo or beep test

Anaerobic: vertical jump or 30m sprint

400

What are the 5 phases when using Qualitative Analysis to improve performance?

1. Preparation

2. Observation

3. Diagnosis

4. Intervention

5. Re-observation

400

Leaders adapt their style to suit the needs of the situation. Name the most appropriate leadership style for the following situations and provide why you made that choice.

a) The captain of a professional team approaches the coach of the team, expressing the view that there is a need to change the game plan after a series of losses.

b) A group of primary school-aged students are training to play their first team sport.

a) democratic

b) autocratic

400

When providing feedback, what do we need to be doing in order to keep athletes motivated whilst also challenging them.

Use the feedback sandwich

500

What is the movement performed at each key joint for the following actions?

Tennis Backhand - elbow

Tennis Backhand - shoulder

Overarm throw - elbow

Overarm throw - shoulder

Elbow - extension

Shoulder - abduction

Elbow - extension

Shoulder - flexion

500

For each of the energy systems, identify a moment in a soccer match when that system would be most active. State one reason for each to support your response.

ATP-PC - goalkeeper diving to make a save or striker sprinting onto a through pass etc. These are highest intensity/explosive movements that need fast release of energy from CP.

Lactic Acid - defender is making repeated high intensity efforts to mark their player, or midfielder goes on a long run to carry the ball from defence up to attack. These are high intensity and repeated movements that need quick energy but can last for longer than 10 seconds.

Aerobic - walking to get into a new position while the ball is away from the immediate vicinity. This is low intensity movement so is aerobic

500

In order to absorb forces safely, our body and equipment are required to do what 3 things?

1. increase time over which force is applied

2. increase the area the force is applied to

3. redirect or distribute the force

500

What is meant by part and whole coaching strategy?

Part - a skill is broken down into smaller parts

Whole - a skill is practised in its entirety

500

The two lowest teams receive 500 points!!!
