1.
SPOR principle
Réponse: Specificity – training must be appropriate to the sport and needs of performer. Progression – training demands should slowly rise to allow athlete to adapt and progress Overload – training should push performer out of their comfort zone to cause rapid adaptations to take place. Overload can be manipulated by using the FITT principle. Reversibility – training must be consistent and maintained to prevent a drop in performance.
2.
FITT principle
Réponse: Frequency – how many sessions per week Intensity – how hard one trains e.g. 1RM Time – how long one trains for e.g. sessions, sets, intervals Type – method of training used e.g. strength training
3.
Variance
Réponse: training includes a range of exercises and activities to prevent boredom and maintain motivation.
4.
Moderation
Réponse: training must be appropriate so that the performer can maintain a healthy lifestyle whilst adapting to training.
5.
Effective training includes...
Réponse: Warm up – pulse raiser and movement exercises to raise heart rate, increase range of motion at joints and generally preparing the body for exercise. Cool down – performed after exercise to gradually decrease heart rate, ROM, facilitate venous return therefore preventing blood pooling thus reducing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) (Costa et al, 2011). Exercises such as light jogging and movements as well as stretching are used. Tests – Fitness tests to assess and analyse the needs for improvement, the use of motion capture analysis to assess knee ROM for an elite gymnast after injury.

1.
Aerobic capacity
Réponse: the ability of the body to inspire, transport and use oxygen to perform long durations of aerobic exercise.
2.
Vo2 max
Réponse: VO2 max is a key component of aerobic capacity, it is the max amount of oxygen inspired, transported and used per minute during maximal exercise.
3.
Factors affecting Vo2 max
Réponse: Physiological make up Age Gender Training
4.
Physiological make up
Réponse: Greater efficiency of CV, respiratory systems and muscle cells to inspire and use oxygen = higher VO2 max. Stronger respiratory muscles = more efficent tranport of oxygen. Increased haemoglobin levels = more oxygen carrying capacity. Capillarisation leads to a greater SA for gaseous exchange. Higher aerobic capacity for SO muscle fibres.
5.
Gender
Réponse: Males generally have higher VO2 max values than females. Males have larger CV and respiratory systems therefore greater efficiency of blood flow and oxygen transport.

1.
Strength
Réponse: the ability to exert a force
2.
Static and dynamic strength
Réponse: Static and dynamic Static is the ability to exert a force against a resistance without movement occuring. Dynamic is the the ability to exert a force against a resistance with movement occurring. Static – Crucifix position in gymnastics tests shoulder static strength. Dynamic – Hop, step jump phase of the triple jump.
3.
Maximum strength
Réponse: The ability to exert a max force over 1 repetition. Deadlift
4.
Explosive strength
Réponse: The ability to produce a maximal force over a series of rapid and fast muscular contractions. Hammerthrow, Javelin
5.
Strength endurance
Réponse: The ability of the muscle to sustain multiple muscular contractions for a sustained period of time without fatigue. Rowing, Swimming

1.
Flexibility
Réponse: The range of movement available at a joint
2.
Types of flexibility
Réponse: 1. Static – range of movement at a joint without movement e.g. Gymnast holding the spilt position. 2. Dynamic – range of movement at a joint with movement e.g. Javelin performer’s shoulder during a full distance throw.
3.
Factors of flexibility
Réponse: 1. Age 2. Gender 3. Type of joint 4. Length of surrounding connective and muscle tissues
4.
Age
Réponse: Flexibility peaks in childhood. With age, elasticity of connective tissues is lost, therefore a decrease in range of motion.
5.
Gender
Réponse: Females are generally more flexible than women. Females have higher levels of oestrogen and relaxin present around joints. These hormones are responsible for the elasticity of connective tissues.

1.
Background of CV diseases
Réponse: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is any disease than impacts blood circulation as well as the heart itself. It is on the rise in the UK, roughly 7 million people have CVD and 75% cases were found to be preventable.
2.
Atherosclerosis
Réponse: the development of fatty plaque in the arterial walls which gradually narrows the lumen and hardens the walls.
3.
Ischaemic stroke
Réponse: a complete blockage in a cerebral artery leading to cut off of blood supply to brain. 85% of all strokes.
4.
Haemorrhagic stroke
Réponse: bursting of blood vessel on or within the surface of brain. 15% of all strokes.
5.
Coronary Heart Disease
Réponse: complication from atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, responsible for supplying cardiac muscle with oxygenated blood.

Chronic injuries
Réponse: a slowly developed injury associated with overuse.
3.

4.
Hard tissue injuries
Réponse: damage to bone, joint or cartilage.
5.
Acute, soft tissue injuries

1.
Types of injury risk factor
Réponse: Intrinsic risk factors Extrinsic risk factors
2.
Intrinsic risk factors
Réponse: Risk factors that come from within the body
3.
Extrinsic risk factors
Réponse: risk factors controlled by the environment
4.
Individual variables - Posture, Age, previous Injuries, Nutrition (PAIN)
Réponse: Posture issues – Poor joint alignments can alter biomechanical properties allowing injuries to occur more often. Age – After 20 years old, bones and tissues lose strength Previous Injury – Past injuries can decrease joint stability making the same injury more likely. Nutrition – Lack of calcium can lead to weaker bones therefore fractures are more likely.
5.
Training effects – Poor preparation, Inadequate Fitness and Flexibility
Réponse: Poor preparation – Lack of warm up stretching before exercise can increase the risk of injury. Inadequate Fitness – Poor fitness can lead to injury if the body is pushed way harder than it should be. Inadequate Flexibility – Having limited range of motion increases the chances of injury, too much range of motion can increase the chances of dislocation.

1.
Rehabilitation
Réponse: process of restoring full physical function after an injury.
2.
3 stages of rehabilitation
Réponse: Early – Gentle exercise encouraging damaged tissues to heal. Mid – Progressive loading of connective tissues and bones to develop strength. Late – functional exercises and drills to make sure body is ready to return.
3.
Treatment methods for injuries
Réponse: Stretching Temperature therapies Massage Physiotherapy Surgery NSAIDs
4.
Phases of stretching
Réponse: Acute phase – no stretching within the first 3 days of injury, PRICE should be used. Mid phase – after 3 days, bleeding and inflammation should have stopped. For up to 2 weeks use heat therapy and active+passive stretching. Later phase – For a further 2 weeks, ROM, strength and co-ordination are key. PNF used to increase the ROM at a joint. Long term – Active and dynamic stretching to increase range of motion more than prior to injury.
5.
Massage therapy
Réponse: Physical therapy used to prevent injury and used in soft tissue injury treatment, massage therapy: 1. Moves nutrients through damaged tissue to start healing and remove waste products. 2. Stretches tissues releasing tension and increasing elasticity. 3. Breaks down scar tissues. 4. Reduces pain and improves relaxation and circulation. However, it can’t be used on certain soft tissue injuries such as contusions or dislocations because it may complicate the injury.
