1.Which one of these is not one of the seven categories used to identify specific aspects of an athlete’s overall fitness?

• Power

• Strength

• Speed

• Flexibility

What is MHR?

• the target number of beats your heart is capable of pumping per minute during exercise

• the lowest number of beats your heart is capable of pumping per minute during exercise

• the highest number of beats your heart is capable of pumping per minute during exercise

• the highest number of beats your heart is capable of pumping per minute during exercise

Why is it important for an athlete to know their lactate threshold?

• It helps to determine the amount of supplements and protein that an athlete needs in order to avoid fatigue

• It helps to determine training intensities for optimal improvement and performance intensity to avoid fatiguing effect.

• It helps athletes to determine their training programs and devise training sessions accordingly.

• None of the above.

Athletes follow three steps to create a training program. Identify these steps in their correct order from the list below.

• Determine personal training needs through game analysis, identify specific training objectives, develop a training program.

• Determine personal training needs through game analysis, develop a training program, analyse and review training results to enhance performance.

• Identify specific training objectives, determine personal training needs through game analysis, develop a training program.

• Identify specific training objectives, determine personal training needs through game analysis, implement a training program.

True or false: the circulatory system is responsible for the inhalation and exhalation of air (i.e. via the lungs, trachea, mouth and nasal passage)

• True

• False

Specificity assists athletes and coaches to select training activities that are relevant (i.e. specific) to:

• the weight and height of an athlete

• the energy systems

• the position-specific movements of the sport

• the athletes MHR

• the fitness requirements of the sport

Deciding how hard to train your athlete in order to get the best results involves what principle of training?

• Flexibility

• Duration

• Lactate Threshold

• Intensity

A soccer goalkeeper requires speed, power, agility and flexibility to be effective but the midfielder requires speed, aerobic capacity, muscular endurance and agility to be effective. Therefore each player's training program needs to be "______".

• Varied

• Specific

• Optimal

• Periodisation

What does the training principle, duration, assist athletes and coaches to do?

• decide how long they should train for in order to get the best results

• decide on the most appropriate training strategies for their individual circumstances

• decide how hard they should train in order to get the best results

• include a range of different training activities, movement options and training contexts so that athletes stay motivated and interested

A year-long training program is a measure of duration in the same way that the number of repetitions of a bicep curl performed within a particular set is a measure of "____".

• Frequency

• Intensity

• Duration

• Progressive overload
