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
Which training zone includes low intensity that allows for the recovery and adaptation of the body’s structures following a bout of high-intensity work?
Recovery training zone
Resting heart rate zone
Recuperating training zone
Oxidative recovery training zone
Fatigue is the:
The point where an athlete is too tired to train from too much exercise and not enough good nutrition.
Point of exhaustion and hitting the wall where an athlete collapses.
Tiring of an athletes lung capacity and lactic acid occurs when their body is placed under stress before and during training.
Tiring of muscles and organs that occurs when bodies are placed under stress during and after training.
The process of an athlete’s body returning to its normal state is called "______".
Heart rate reserve
Progressive overload
Recovery
Periodisation
What is the term given to the range of intensity within which an athlete should train depending on whether they wish to target the anaerobic energy system or the aerobic energy system?
Threshold training
Training zones
VO2 max
RHR
How many levels or building blocks are given to the periodisation model?
6
7
3
4
What is the smallest component in a training program?
training phases
skill development
microcycle
training sessions
What is the term used to describe an athlete’s planning over a 12-month period?
Annual plan
Macrocycle
Microcycle
Mesocycle
Microcycles are:
a training period of 7 to 10 days, each with a specific training focus
4 to 6 week blocks
the preparatory phase, the pre-competition phase, the competition phase and the transition phase
the smallest component in a training program
When creating a training, the first step is to:
determine work volume and training load
understand the science of training before setting objectives
determine personal training needs through game analysis
identify specific training objectives
What is the lactate threshold?
The point at which lactic acid (i.e. lactate and hydrogen ions) begins to accumulate in the muscles at a faster rate than it can be removed (in the blood).
The point at which lactic acid (i.e. lactate and hydrogen ions) begins to disperse in the muscles at a slower rate than it can be removed (in the blood).
When athletes experiences an onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA) whereby blood lactate begins to accumulate exponentially.
When an athlete reaches around 85 per cent of their maximum heart rate (MHR).
