Borg (1970) (6-20) Rating of Perceived Exertion - CORRECT ANSWER scale used to measure exercise intensity
FITT Training Principles - CORRECT ANSWER Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
frequency - CORRECT ANSWER the number of training sessions completed over a period of time,
usually per week
intensity - CORRECT ANSWER how hard an individual will train
time - CORRECT ANSWER how long an individual will train for
type - CORRECT ANSWER how an individual will train by selecting a training method to improve a specific component of fitness and/or their sports performance
progressive overload - CORRECT ANSWER in order to progress, training needs to be demanding enough to
cause the body to adapt, improving performance
specificity - CORRECT ANSWER training should be specific to the individual's sport, activity or
physical/skill-related fitness goals to be developed
individual differences/needs - CORRECT ANSWER the programme should be designed to meet individual training
goals and needs
adaptation - CORRECT ANSWER how the body reacts to training loads by increasing its ability to
cope with those loads
reversibility - CORRECT ANSWER if training stops, or the intensity of training is not sufficient to
cause adaptation, training effects are reversed
variation - CORRECT ANSWER it is important to vary the training regime to avoid boredom and
maintain enjoyment
flexibility training - CORRECT ANSWER involves stretching and extending various muscle groups to achieve higher levels of stretch in the muscle.
active stretching - CORRECT ANSWER performed independently where the performer applies internal force to stretch and lengthen the muscle
passive stretching - CORRECT ANSWER requires the help of another person or an object such as a wall. The other person/object applies external force causing the muscle to stretch
ballistic stretching - CORRECT ANSWER where the performer makes fast, jerky movements through the
complete range of motion, usually in the form of bobbing or bouncing
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) - CORRECT ANSWER flexibility technique that promotes or hastens the neuromuscular response through stimulation of the proprioceptors
circuit training - CORRECT ANSWER different stations/exercises are used to develop strength, muscular endurance, power or aerobic endurance
free weights - CORRECT ANSWER use of barbells or dumb-bells to perform different types of dynamic exercises
plyometrics - CORRECT ANSWER develops sport-specific explosive power and strength
continuous training - CORRECT ANSWER this is training at a steady pace and moderate intensity for
a minimum period of 30 minutes
fartlek training - CORRECT ANSWER this is where the intensity of training is varied by running at
different speeds or over different terrain
interval training - CORRECT ANSWER where the individual performs a work period followed
by a rest or recovery period
hollow sprints - CORRECT ANSWER a series of sprints separated by a 'hollow' period of jogging or walking
acceleration sprints - CORRECT ANSWER This is where the pace is gradually increased from a standing or rolling start to jogging, then to striding, and then to a maximum sprint
interval training - CORRECT ANSWER the individual performs a work period followed by a rest or
recovery period
flexibility test - CORRECT ANSWER sit and reach test
strength test - CORRECT ANSWER grip dynamometer
aerobic test - CORRECT ANSWER multistage fitness (bleep) test
speed test - CORRECT ANSWER 35 sprint
speed and agility test - CORRECT ANSWER Illinois Agility Run
anaerobic power test - CORRECT ANSWER vertical jump test
muscular endurance test - CORRECT ANSWER one minute press up, one minute sit up
body composition test - CORRECT ANSWER BMI (Body Mass Index), bioelectrical impedance test
validity - CORRECT ANSWER actually measuring exactly what you intend to measure
reliability - CORRECT ANSWER ability of a test to yield very similar scores for the same individual over repeated testing's
practicality - CORRECT ANSWER extent to which an assessment instrument or procedure is inexpensive and easy to use and takes only a small amount of time to administer and score.
normative data - CORRECT ANSWER data generated that allows comparison of an individual to a group. [Show Less]
