VCE PE UNIT 4

Which of the following fitness components will be developed after 6 months of the following training?

• Muscular strength

• Local muscular endurance

• Muscular power

• Speed endurance

Progressive Overload should be applied to any well designed training program when:

• Coaches think their athletes are being lazy and want to work them harder

• Athletes notice their training is becoming easier

• Training becomes "stale" and variety is need to get things back on track

• Athletes think they can handle extra workloads

The Law of Diminishing Returns can explain the following

• Overload percentages decreasing as training progresses

• The 'accommodation phase' that sees performance drops after training starts

• Rapid initial gains which then slow down as adaptations occur

• Running times decreasing as training improvements occur

If Steve did correctly apply all of the training principles to his continuous training, which of the following adaptations would contribute most to a 10% increase in his aerobic capacity:

• Decreased fat:muscle ratio

• Increased aortic emptying

• Decreased myosin ATPase

• Increased blood volume

Which of the following training methods would most likely result in the following chronic adaptations if undertaken for a period of 6 months – increased glycolytic enzymes & lactate tolerance:

• Intermediate Interval

• Plyometrics

• Fartlek

• Circuit

What is regarded as the minimum duration of a training program time required to see development of chronic adaptations which will improve performance?

• 4 weeks

• 6 weeks

• 8 weeks

• 10 weeks

This profile would most likely be of an athlete in which sport?

• Table tennis

• cycling

• Netball (GK)

• Boxing
