The 3 social justice principles and their definitions
Equity: a principle that focuses on fairness for all, not sameness. Provision of resources based on need
Diversity: identifying, acknowledging and responded to difference within a community
Supportive Environment: ensuring the environments we live, work and play in are set up to support health and empower individuals.
The four types of training and their associated methods are:
Aerobic - continuous, Fartlek, aerobic interval, circuit
Anaerobic - anaerobic interval
Flexibility - PNF, Static, Dynamic, Ballistic
Strength Training - free/fixed weights, elastic, hydraulic
considerations for children and young athletes are:
Medical conditions (asthma, epilepsy, diabetes)
Overuse injuries
Thermoregulation
Appropriateness of resistance training
Give examples of politics in sport
Athletes making political statements (Pat Cummins speaking out about fossil fuels)
Politicians participation (John Howard playing cricket, Scott Morrison takes out junior soccer player)
Ping Pong diplomacy (China and America)

Principles of training: list and provide a short definition
Progressive overload - gradually increasing stress/difficulty after adaptation occurs
Specificity - training focus aligns with outcome goal
Reversibility - use it or lose it
Variety - different activities to work the same goal and provide motivation
Training Thresholds - points at which athletes must work to achieve aerobic (60%). anaerobic benefits (85%)
Warm up and cool down- prep body and return to resting
Physical Preparation
List and outline
Pre-screening - questionnaire to ascertain health issues, risk factors, guide design
Skill and technique - correct form reduces risk of injury
Physical Fitness - adequate fitness levels allow for efficient performance
Warm up (prepares body), Stretching (muscle flexibility) Cool down (return to base line, remove waste products.)

Recovery strategies and examples

Different cultural ways of thinking about the body

The benefits of partnerships in health promotion between Governments, Non-government agencies and local communities are:
More comprehensive health initiatives
All determinants of health are considered
More access to resources
More cost effective
Faster turn around of initiative implementation
Expertise and health perceptions being shared
Wider reach, more impact
Policy influence and change
Supplementation: what and why
Caffeine - reduce perception of fatigue, stimulant (increase alertness and focus)
Protein - muscle repair and growth, convenient, dietary need
Creatine products - increase CP stores slightly, improves recovery, enhances training
Vitamins/minerals - maintain general health, supports cellular metabolism, replaces lost nutrients through sweat
Return to play dash points are
Indicators of readiness to return (pain free, degree of mobility)
Monitor progress (pre and post tests)
Psychological readiness
Specific warm up procedures
Return to play policies and procedures
Ethical considerations (pressure to return, use of painkillers)
