cardiovascular endurance

the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to working muscles

speed

the maximum rate at which the individual is able to perform a movement or cover distance in a certain amount of time

what the calculation for speed

speed = distance/time

agility

the ability to move or change direction quickly ( at speed ) while maintaining control

balance

the maintenance of the centre of mass/gravity over the base of support

what are the two types of balance

static: whilst still

dynamic: whilst moving

strength

the ability to overcome a resistance

what are the two types of strength

maximal: the largest force possible in a maximal contraction ( e.g. punch)

static: ability to hold a body part in a static position (e.g. scrummaging)

reaction time

the time taken to initiate a response to a stimulus

muscular endurance

the ability of a muscle or muscle group to undergo repeated contractions avoiding fatigue

flexibility

the range of movement possible to a joint

co-ordination

the ability to use different ( two or more ) parts of the body together smoothly and efficiently

specificity

training should be specific to the needs of an individual and the demands of the sport that they take part in

progression

progression refers to the fact that the overload should gradually be increased as the body adapts

overload

overload is simply working harder than normal by doing that the body will adapt and improve.

what does fitt stand for

frequency - how often you train

intensity - how hard you train

time - how long you train

type - what training method you use

reversibility

if an individual stops or decreases their training level then fitness and performance is likely to decrease

tedium

tedium refers to boredom.

training should be altered and varied to prevent an individual suffering from this

balanced diet

carbohydrates (55-60%) pasta,bread,potatoes

fats (25-30%) cheese,butter,oils

proteins (15-20%) red meats, eggs

dehydration

blood thickens

slows down reactions

increased heart rate

increases body temperature

muscle fatigue/cramps
