What does cardiorespiratory endurance help with?
Heart and lungs
Note: Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability to keep the heart and breathing rates high for a long time. Endurance is built over time with exercises that specifically raise the heart and breathing rates.
True or False:
HIIT interval training focuses on building muscular endurance.
True
True or False:
The correct sprinting technique to maintain speed during a sprint:
The hip joint is flexed and the forward foot is raised high
True
Note: A sprint is when you run at your top speed for a short amount of time.
At the start of a race, sprinters lean forward to help increase horizontal force. As they run, they gradually become almost upright. They still lean forward slightly at about a 5-degree angle at their most upright position.
When almost upright, sprinters focus on having their feet land close to their center of gravity (just in front of their hips), so that they don't waste any of the energy that moves them forward.
Sprinters try to minimize any factors that can slow them down, like keeping their feet on the track for too long. This is why sprinters run primarily on the balls of their feet. Their heels barely make contact with the ground, if at all.
