Cardiovascular fitness (Marathon and tennis) The ability to exercise the entire body for long periods of time Muscular strength (Weightlifting and rugby scrum) The amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance Muscular endurance (Tennis, running and swimming) The ability to use the voluntary muscles many times without getting tired Flexibility (Gymnastics, high jump, badminton) The range of movement at a joint Body composition (Ectomorph: high jump Mesomorph: weight lifting Endomorp: sumo wrestling) The percentage of body weight that is fat, muscle and bone
Macro Nutrients Micro Nutrients Carbohydrates (complex and simple) Protein Fats Minerals (calcium and Iron Vitamins Fibre Water Function Slow release longer lasting energy. Simple: sugars Complex: starch. Build muscle and repair injuries to muscle. Provide energy, glycogen stored in muscles. Strong bones withstand the impact of exercise and everyday life. Vision, skin, red blood cell formation, healing, blood clotting. Aids digestive system. Transports nutrients (hormones) In sport Ready source of energy for muscles. Long distance Builds muscle and repairs tissue. Essential after an injury for quick healing. Body builders take in extra protein to bulk muscles. Increase size & weight of bodyextra bulk. Stored as energy, used when carbohydrate &protein stores are depleted. Increase efficiency of o2 to working muscles. Iron helps produce red blood cells – more o2 can be carriedprevents fatigue. Overall good health – important for optimum performance. When training hard B group vitamins used more so need replenishing. Less heart. Keeps digestive system functioning regularly. Prevents dehydration and heatstroke – sweating. Allows blood to flow easily around body.
Anorexic Obese Overfat Overweight Underweight Pertaining to anorexia – a prolonged eating disorder due to the loss of appetite. Used to describe people who are very overfat. Having body fat in excess of normal. Having weight in excess of normal (not harmless unless accompanied by overfatness). Weighing less than normal, healthy or required.
Can lead to extreme weight loss and result in a serious lack of nutrition as well as psychological problems related to obsessions with food and calories. Leads to risks of cancer, heart disease leading to heart attacks and strokes, high blood pressure and diabetes. Extra weight makes exercise = this makes the individuals less motivated and less likely to participate in sport/physical activity. Describes a physique of excessive fat content and can be used to classify someone who is overweight. E.g. a woman who is overweight and has a high fat content = overfat. A female weightlifter may be overweight according to BMI but not be overfat. May be caused by medical reasons but more frequently associated with overeating or lack of activity. Can refer to someone whose body weight is greater than normal due to greater muscle mass or bone structure. Can be beneficial in sports as it can mean more muscle = more strength. E.g. javelin throwers, rugby players. Some sports require weight categories/limits E.g. boxing – losing weight can be blamed for poor performance Flat race jockeys are deliberately underweight. How the weight is lost can impact on performance. Weight can be lost through sweat – exercising, sweat suits, steam baths etc. Weight can also be lost through drugs – diuretics increase urine production which can lead to dehydration.
Minimising risk. Warming up/cooling down Checking equipment and facilities Protective equipment and clothing Footwear Warming muscles gradually helps to prevent injury. A cool down disperses lactic acid. Does not prevent injury but prevents soreness and aches. Organisers, officials and participants are responsible. Generally due to the environment – waterlogged pitch, icy court, insufficient lighting. Football – boots, shin pads. Hockey – shin pads, mouth guard, goalkeeper pads. Cricket - batsman helmet. Sailing-lifejacket, warm designed wet suits. Rising – hat. Jewellery should be removed/taped so as to prevent injuries to self and others. Helps performance- footballers have studs to provide more grip Provides support to bones muscles and joints Provides comfort. Balanced competition: To create a balanced and fair competition, following factors should be considered. Weight categories Mixed/single sex Age Handicap system Equalises competition. Safety purposes. Boxing match competitors by their weight to protect them. Weightlifting – weight divisions. In most sports men play again men and women play against women. For safety – especially in contact sports-rugby and hockey. For fair competition – athletics and swimming. Racket sports – tennis, table tennis and badminton mixed doubles competitions. Allows clear opportunity for men and women to compete fairly in open competition. Competitions usually set by age. Talented performers sometimes play out of age group. Overuse injuries are frequent in young athletes. Age categorising does not guarantee competitors will be of equal height and weight. In other age categories, often have senior and veteran competitions. Generally for safety reasons. Balances competition. Used in golf. Ensures players play with players of equal/similar ability. Karate and judo have clear skill levels and players take part in competitions according to their ability.
