Body Systems
Transports water, oxygen and nutrients to cells
Common pieces of sports equipment worn helps reduce impact by absorbing force, protecting athletes from injury.
What is gloves, knee pads, or helmet
This skill is performed in a stable and predictable environment.
This tool helps assess proficiency by listing specific standards or skills to check off as they are demonstrated.
What is a criteria checklist?
This dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the lungs contracts and flattens to help draw air into the lungs.
What is the diaphragm?
This fitness component, commonly measured by the sit-and-reach test, evaluates the range of motion in the lower back and hamstrings.
What is flexibility?
This training method aims to build strength, power or muscular endurance by exercising muscles against resistance.
What is resistance training?
Practice that involves short sessions interspersed with periods of rest, during which either feedback is provided or another skill is practiced.
What is distributed practice?
This term refers to a position closer to the surface of the body, opposite to 'deep.'
What is superficial?
This technique involves bending the knees and lowering the center of gravity to spread the impact force when landing from a jump, reducing injury risk.
What is absorbing force through proper landing mechanics.
This type of skill is performed in a changing environment, requiring athletes to adapt their movements based on external factors, such as opponents' actions and varying conditions.
What is an open skill?
This type of feedback comes from external sources, like a coach’s advice or video analysis, to help an athlete correct and improve performance.
What is augmented feedback?
This term describes the maximum amount of air that a person can exhale after a maximum inhalation, combining tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume.
What is vital capacity?
This type of analysis occurs before an event and involves planning strategies, setting goals, and identifying key performance indicators to enhance an athlete's performance.
What is preparation analysis?
This term refers to skills that are tailored and refined for specific sports or activities, requiring consistent practice and situational awareness.
What are specialized skills?
This process involves learning and refining new skills over time through practice, feedback, and adaptation, crucial in developing athletic proficiency.
What is skill acquisition?
This physiological measurement represents the peak oxygen uptake and is a critical determinant of an athlete's endurance performance capacity.
What is VO₂ max?
This concept refers to the interplay between the center of gravity, line of gravity, and base of support, which collectively determine an individual's ability to maintain equilibrium during movement or while stationary.
What is stability?
This type of judgment relies on measurable data and is crucial in minimizing personal bias in sports where accuracy and fairness are essential.
What are objective judgments?
This type of feedback is based on sensory information within the body, such as the feeling of muscle movement and joint position, helping athletes refine their skills from within.
What is internal or kinesthetic feedback?
