Which part of a sport analysis focuses on the specific physiological demands of a sport, including the dominant energy systems used and the aerobic/anaerobic demands?Physiological analysis
What is the full and correct name of Hans Selye's 'response to stress' model?General adaption syndrome
Name the three stages of Hans Selye's GAS model?Alarm resistance exhaustion
Which stage of Hans Selye GAS model is best described as - 'When an athlete is new to a training stimulus, first experiences the training stress, and experiences the acute bodily responses associated with that form of training?'Alarm stage
Which stage of Hans Selye GAS model is best described as - 'When an athlete gains no further adaptations from a training interventions, experiences fatigue, and an eventual reduction in performance?'Exhaustion stage
Which stage of Hans Selye GAS model is best described as - 'When an athlete experiences muscle soreness, potential initial fatigue from training, and a temporary reduction in performance?'Resistance stage
Describe supercompensation?The body adapts to a training stimulus and can withstand the training stress
According to Matveyev, which periodisation phase within the overall annual macro-cycle involves the training of athletes in preparation for competition?Preparatory stage
According to Matveyev, which periodisation phase within the overall annual macro-cycle involves the training of possible non-sports specific training, reduced loads, and is scheduled after the competition period?Transition stage
Name all three phases from Matveyev's periodisation model?Preparatory competition transition
Describe the difference between over-reaching and overtraining?Short/long term fatigue and temporary or long term reduction in performance
Describe the SAID principleSpecific adaption to imposed demands
What is periodisation?Long term planning and organisation of training
Which periodisation model involves the training of multiple physical qualities at the same time?Concurrent periodisation
Describe non-linear/undulating periodisation?Frequent day/week manipulation of training load and volume
Which periodisation model considers an athletes current training state on any given day, and bases training loads/intensities on an athlete's perceived levels of fatigue?Cybernetic periodisation
Which training model progresses athletes through each training stage (hypertrophy/endurance - strength - power - peaking) with a gradual increase in load, and a gradual reduction in training volume?Linear
What is the full and correct name of PAP?Post Activation Potentiation
The enhancement of the neural activation and type II muscle fibres for a limited time-period after performing a high intensity muscle contraction descries which training method?PAP
Motor units are composed of which two bodily components?A neuron and the muscle fibres it innervates
When a motor unit is recruited, all the muscle fibres it innervates are recruitedAll or none law
The amount of times a motor unit fires of times per second is known as what?Motor unit firing rate
What factor determines how many motor units are recruited when performing a resistance exercise?The load being lifted and the speed at which its being lifted (e.g. strength training and power training result in high motor recruitment)
Which proprioceptor senses the length of a muscle, and the rate at which its lengthening?Muscle spindles
An immediate muscle contraction initiated by a muscle spindle when a muscle has lengthened beyond its normal range and/or the muscle has lengthened to quickly (beyond homeostasis)Describe the stretch reflex
The firing of grouped motor units resulting in greater timing of force production is known as what?Motor unit synchronisation
The recruitment of muscle fibres that create an explosive response (type II fibres) and a simultaneous inhibition of type I slow twitch motor unitsDescribe ‘selective recruitment’
What long term effects occur in muscle spindles due to effective strength training?Enhanced stretch reflex capabilities and greater rate of force development
What do Golgi tendon organ sense?The amount of tension in a muscle
The relaxation of a muscle due to excessive muscle tension being present – initiated by the Golgi tendon organDescribe the inverse stretch reflex
