you are able to keep your muscles supplied with nutrients
and oxygen while you are exercising

Question 2

Muscular endurance

Accepted Answer

When your muscles can exert for a long period of time

Question 7

Agility

Accepted Answer

Is the ability of a sports player to move
and change direction quickly, precisely and under
control

Question 8

Balance

Accepted Answer

Is the ability to keep the body stable, when still or
moving, by keeping the centre of gravity over the base of
support

Question 9

Co-ordination

Accepted Answer

Is the ability to move two or more parts of
the body at the same time efficiently and accurately, while
ensuring a smooth flow of movement

Question 10

Power

Accepted Answer

Is the ability to combine strength with speed and is expressed as the time it takes to perform a task

Question 11

Reaction Time

Accepted Answer

This is the time it takes to respond to a stimulus, such as a ball coming towards you when fielding in cricket

Question 12

Maximum Heart Rate for men  

Accepted Answer

220 - age

Question 13

Maximum Heart Rate for women

Accepted Answer

226-  age

Question 14

The Training Pyramid

Accepted Answer

The training pyramid is a way of calculating how hard you need to train and how long each
training session should be.

Question 15

The aerobic zone  
 


Accepted Answer

60%–85% of 200bpm  120–170bpm

Question 16

The anaerobic zone 

Accepted Answer

85%–95% of 200bpm  170–190bpm

Question 17

The speed zone 

Accepted Answer

95%–100% of 200bpm  190–200bpm

Question 18

Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale

Accepted Answer

In sports and exercise testing, the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale, or ‘Borg RPE’, is used
to measure exercise intensity by asking a performer to rate their perceived level of exertion

Question 19

Frequency

Accepted Answer

Frequency refers to the number of times exercise is undertaken each week.

Question 20

Intensity

Accepted Answer

Intensity is how hard the exercise is.

Question 21

Time

Accepted Answer

Time refers to how long each exercise session lasts.

Question 22

Type

Accepted Answer

Type refers to the nature of the exercise that the performer completes.

Question 23

Specificity

Accepted Answer

Specificity, and individual differences and needs means focusing training on activities relevant to an individual’s
sporting goals and needs.

Question 24

Progressive overload

Accepted Answer

Specificity, and individual differences and needs

Question 25

Adaptation

Accepted Answer

By ensuring that you progressively overload your body during training you are encouraging it to adapt to the
new stresses being placed upon it and it becomes stronger or faster than it was as a result.

Question 26

Reversibility

Accepted Answer

Our bodies need to be placed under stress in order to improve. If our bodies are not challenged, any strength,
tone or skill gains that have previously been made will be reversed.

Question 27

Variation

Accepted Answer

It is really important to vary a training programme so that you don’t get bored and you continue
to enjoy your exercise sessions.

Question 28

Rest & Recovery

Accepted Answer

Overtraining occurs when the intensity of exercise exceeds the body’s ability to recover. A performer who has
overtrained will cease to make progress, and can even begin to lose strength and fitness

Question 29

Static Stretching

Accepted Answer

is the name given to stretches where the performer applies the
force that lengthens and stretches the muscle

Question 30

Passive Stretching

Accepted Answer

which are also referred to as assisted stretches,
involve a partner, wall, barre, or other object assisting the
performer with thestretch

Question 31

Ballistic Stretching

Accepted Answer

uses the momentum of moving limbs to force
muscles beyond their normal range of motion.

Question 32

PNF

Accepted Answer

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) stretching the performer has help from a partner or uses an immoveable object to provide resistance, to push the limb
to stretch the joint further than the performer can stretch it on their own.
