,Definition 1 of 88
Aerobic Capacity = ability to take in, deliver and use oxygen for use by the aerobic energy system
ex: Harvard Step Test
Flexibility = ability to move through the full range of movement around a joint
Muscular Endurance = ability of a muscle or muscle group to maintain force or power
ex: Maximum Sit-Ups
Agility = ability to rapidly change direction or speed
ex: Illinois Agility Test
Strength = The ability to generate force by a muscle or muscle group
ex: Hand-grip dynamometer
Speed = ability to change the distance with respect to time when movement occurs
ex: 40 metre Sprint
Body Composition = the proportion of an individual's total body mass that is made up of fat and
fat-free mass
ex: BMI
Balance = stability of the body
ex: Stork Stand
Co-ordination = ability to integrate the above listed components so that effective movements are
achieved.
ex: Hand Ball Toss
Reaction Time = The duration between the presentation of a stimulus and the associated response
ex: Drop test
Power = Represents the combination of force (strength) and velocity (speed)
ex: Vertical jump test
why does the respiratory rate increase during exercise?
define the major COFs and provide an example test for each
, List the steps of Neuromuscular junction
discuss the relationship between hemoglobin concentration, EPO, and performance
Definition 2 of 88
- large in diameter
- thick, muscular walls
- more pressure
- move blood AWAY from heart
- fibrous
veins
- bring deoxygenated blood BACK o heart
- flexible
- low pressure
- less muscular and fibrous than arteries
cappilaries
- aid in gas exchange (diffusion)
- thinnest
- narrow vessels with thin walls
ALL:
-types of blood vessels
compare an contrast arteries, veins, and capillaries
arteries
differentiate between the two ways to measure intensity
Explain the mechanics of ventilation in the human lungs (inhalation & exhalation)
compare and contrast sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
, Term 3 of 88
Discuss the importance of a control group, double-blind experiment, randomization, and placebo
Sensory = afferent; deals with senses & carries signals from CNS to PNS
Motor = efferent, carry signals from CNS to body parts
origin: proximal attachment and bone that stays fixed
insertion: distal attachment and themoveable bone
- control group = baseline data to compare results to
- double blind = eliminate biased results from researcher and participant
- randomization = makes sure the participants are representative of entire population
- placebo = provide a way to measure the effect of the treatment being tested & provides a
important baseline to compare to the experimental group
Field:
- Pros: Cheap, minimal equipment and expertise, specific to the sport & conducted in
environment
- cons: less accuracy of measurements (environment could alter test results), less safe
Lab:
- Pros: more reliable, in a controlled environment, sport-specific-equipment, simulates
sport's demands
- Cons: not always accessible, limited value assessing team sports, not conducted in the
sport environment
Term 4 of 88
define diffusion
Diffusion is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen.
This is the type of cellular transport which helps move oxygen from the alveoli into the
blood.
Diffusion is the process of active transport in cells.
Diffusion is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
