Balace + Stability
Static: no movement (pasture held).
Dynamic: movement
stability depends:
Lowering COG
Widening BOS
Proper body alignment over BOS
Centre Of Gravitu
Body mass evenly distributed
COG is located centre of pelvis: varies-mE • Body composition/ charges of movement
Lower COG = more stability
allows technique adjustments for greater movement efficiency.
Fluid Mechanics
Important: running, swiming, throwing anc cues within Fluid
air orland water
allows athletes to canteract resistance and improve technichal efficiency
Gaseous Exchange
- Defusion (Exchange: axygen and carbon dions From higher → lover concentration.
Pulmonasy
-Bload fion betreea
heart + luggs.
Begins right ventricle → pumps de oxygnated,
CO2 rich blood → pumonery artery.
Pumenery artery → arterioles → capilliares:
Drag Force
Resistance opposing motion through a
increcses with velocity
minimizing drag - conserves energy
Profile Drag
crected by boaylabuect, shape + size.
- moton causes finiaseperction =
high pressure front / low pressure rear →
Wake / turbulance.
Reduce:
Decrease frontal; adopt strechline patuk.
Slipstream behind another athlete.
Internal exchange
Loaction: systemic capilleries + body cells esp-muscie
- Oygencted blood brought to muscle, oxygen + taken from bload in muscle cell → to muscle
tissue .. carbon dioxide removed into blood.
Oxygen trensported through blood linked ncamogold
→ muscle (myogoblin).
- Venous blood → de oxygenated → back too heart
Surface drag
Shin Friction
- From Friction between abject surface + surancing Fluid.
InFluenced: Fluid density, speed, surface smoothness, contact areas
Buoyancy
Upward force exerted by a fluid; acts opposite to obseet weign (W=mg)
- Determines float or sink
High bouyant (floats)
Fb +- W= float; object displacing equal /greater volume of water that weighs more than itself.
eg PFD /lifesachet
increcses Fb
Low Bouyant (Sink)
Fo<W - insufficient water displaced;
DoMination
e.g flaating vertically —> sink as minimal water, reduced surface opposing bouyant
force・
Force + Newtons Laws
First (inertia. ) body remains at uniform/rest motion unless acted upon by external force
Second (acceleration): F = MxA → acceleration is proportional to net farce + inversely proportional to mass.
Third (action - reaction) action = equal/opposite recction
Systemic Circulction
Blood Flow → heart + all othur tissue
Begins LV →> pumps oxygnated biood into aorta.
aorta →7 breakdown into arteries → capillaries
-2 deliver to cells-2 remove CO2 → travel through veins Abd back to RA via vena cava
Aerobic Performance
Reduced Or → I sustain aerobic metabolism
- quicher fatigue, slower recovery, ducreased PF.
(endurance sports)
Altitude - height/ elevation regarding sea/ground level
Physological effects of High Altitude
reducea oxygen availebility
partial pressure of O2 decreased - less aucileble O2
Incressed brectning rate
increcse rate as bodys attempt to consume more O2
Higher heart rate
pumps more frequectly - circulce Or to vitel agens + muscles.
Respiratory System
Cone function. air conduction, ventilation, crucial ges exchange at alveoli. exchange of oxygen + carbon dioxide between air, lungs + blood allows movement,
intensity + sustain life
Pulmonary Circulation
Blood flow heert to lungs
Begins PV → pumps de oxygnated blood to lungs → capillaries surrounding alveoli. → blood becomes oxygnated whilst:
carbon dioxide removed intos lungs → blood travels to heart through pulmonary artery
→> empties into LA.
Adaptions + High altitude
- Hypoxia stimulates EPO - increcies RBC
production.
- Result - grecter O2 carrying capacity = adventags h when performing at low altitudes
Haemogobion levels
Higher HB levels: increased O2 delivery to muscles , increased aerobic capacity + endurance.
Lover HB levels: low 02 transport = early fetigue reduced performance.
Haemogoblin 8 exygen transport
- Protein found in RBC- carries oxygen from lungs to body:. removing CO 2 from tissue to lungs .
Digestion + Alsorbtion + Elimination
-Brechdown of Food - smaller molecules
- nutrients absorbed into blaodstreem through
Walls of small intestines.
- removing indigestible substances
Digestive System
mouth- begins digestion by mechanicly brecking down food and mix with saliva
Oesphagus-transport food -stomech.
Stomach- secretes acias + enzymu-break food down
Small intestine- main - nutrient absober lined
with villi — increase surface area
Digestive System
Carge intenstine - absorbs water+ waste .
Liver - produce bile, aids in fat digestion.
Pancrees - produce digestive entrymes
Endocrine System
Pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pamcreas + gonads
Glands?
Hormones: chemical messengers releassa by
Galnds .
Function:
regulation- maintain homeostasis-regulating metabolism, growth , reproduction-response to stress.
Energy management: hormone like insulin and glycogen from pancreas manage blood glucose levels
Energy supply
Digestine system brects food down to glucase
- absorbs into bloodstream-
Endocrine system regulates release and use
of nutrients.
eg insulin facilliteles uptake of glucose by muscle, providing energy for movement.
Metabolism Reguction
Thyroid Hormone - regulate metabolism - influence rate of energy use.
Aarenal hormone - Cortsol + carenaline help
manage energy use + stress responses.
Agonist-warking muscle, contracting major muscle agonist for all moveable joint
Antagonist- relaxing muscle, Lengthening for agonist to contract. working in a pair.
Stabiliser - fixator fixed base stabilising muscles during contrection
Agonist-bicep brachii
Antagonist -Tricep brechaii
Stabiliser - Deltoid.
