Speed 

Power

When looking at the physiological considerations- what are some signs and symptoms of an overtrained athlete? 

Signs - frequent errors in performance, illness, injuries, poor technique, increased resting heart rate, excessive thirst. 

Symptoms - Pain, lack of energy (lethargy), headaches, cramping, loss of appetite. 

200

What are the 4 types of Flexibility Training? 

Static 

Dynamic 

Ballistic

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular facilitation) 

200

What are the psychological signs and symptoms of someone who is overtrained? 

Signs= moody and irritable, responds poorly to feedback, gives up easily. 


Symptoms = lack of motivation, depression, sensitive to criticism, confusion during competition

200

What are the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs? 

Loss of reputation, sponsorship and income, and other physical effects

200

What is conditioning? 

Conditioning is the base work required for the sport and varies form sport to sport. It is about bringing the body to the desired state for use in a particular sport.

200

When considering the health and safety of training sessions, what can this include? 

Protective equipment/ equipment in general

Environment: potholes, debris, water, rocks etc. 

The ability of athletes - skills, fitness and health needs

safety gear ( sunscreen, water etc.)

First-aid Kit 

Climatic conditions

300

Which type of stretching is the most dangerous? Why?

Ballistic - Because it can cause injury during the bouncing motion, and the muscles may become overstretched or strained. 

300

Why is it important to consider the scheduling of events in the training prepartion? 

So that the athlete can perform at their best when it counts - meaning their peak performance.

 

300

What are 2 benefits of drug testing and 2 limitations of drug testing?

Benefits = creates a deterrent for athletes, promotes drug-free sport, fair play and equity, rewards athletes for their ability, training and efforts and protects athletes' reputations.

Limitations = not all drugs can be tested, New drugs get created frequently, testing exposes the athlete (nudity), and new prohibited lists are developed each year, which athletes need to know and follow as they are currently held responsible and testing is expensive.

300

Identify some of the performance and fitness needs of an AFL team?

What is involved in planning to avoid overtraining?

Amount and intensity of training 

Physiological considerations

Psychological considerations

400

Identify 2 equipment advances 

swimsuits, golf balls, tennis racquets, shin pads, cricket bats, 

400

What is the aim of a warm-up and cool down?

Warm-up =  prepares the body for the session, improves physiological adaptations and promotes safety in the session. 

Cool down = Speeds up recovery and help ensure good physiological adaptations occur. Helps remove waste products and fluid in order to decrease post exercise oedema (swelling). It is a recovery strategy that helps the athlete recover and adapt to training.

Identify all the health and skill related components of fitness

Health = Cardiorespiratory Endurance, Muscular endurance, flexibility, Muscular strength, Body Composition, 

Skill= Balance, agility, power, speed, coordination, reaction time.
