Physical Education Unit 4 AOS 1 Flashcards

Vocabulary flashcards covering fitness components, activity analysis methods, and fitness testing principles from Physical Education Unit 4 AOS 1.

Aerobic power

The maximum rate of ATP energy production from the aerobic energy system in the presence of oxygen

VO2 max

Maximum oxygen consumption; considered the best measure of aerobic power.

Anaerobic capacity

The amount of ATP energy production from the anaerobic energy systems without oxygen

Muscular strength

The peak force that a muscle (or muscle group) can produce against a resistance in one maximal contraction, represented as 1-rep max (1RM)

Muscular endurance

The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.

Muscular power

The ability to exert a maximal amount of force in the shortest period of time (explosive effort), created by a combination of strength and speed.

Speed

The rate of motion and ability to move the whole body, or body parts from one place to another in the shortest possible time.

Agility

The ability to change direction or body position quickly and accurately, whilst maintaining balance.

Flexibility

The range of movement around a joint or sequence of joints, which can be static or dynamic.

Balance

The ability to maintain equilibrium while performing a desired task, whether stationary (static) or moving (dynamic).

Coordination

The ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly and efficiently, or to execute motor skills smoothly and accurately.

Activity Analysis

The recording and analysis of movement and skill data from a game, sport or activity, used to breakdown requirements for a training program.

Skill frequency

The recording of how often a skill or movement is performed, often referred to as statistics.

Movement patterns

The assessment of how and where a player moves, including the intensity of those movements, during a game or activity.

Informed consent

A process outlining risks, participant rights, and confidentiality to minimize the risk of harm to the performer and administrator during testing.

Pre-participation health screening (PAR-Q)

A series of questions about a participant's current health used to determine the level of risk and readiness for fitness testing or exercise.

heart rate data

provides data on individual’s HR responses during exercise

work to rest ratios

summary of the time an athlete spends physically working compared to the time spent resting or recovering

validity

refers to the degree to which a test measured what it’s supposed to measure

accuracy

the results recorded are a true reflection of what is being tested

reliability

the ability to reproduce consistent test results if the test is performed multiple times
