Analysis of movement (including planes and axes) • Shoulder and elbow action in – • Push-ups • Over-arm throwing • Forehand racket strokes • Hip, knee and ankle action in: • Running • Kicking • Jumping • Squats • Types of joint, articulating bones, joint actions • Main agonists and antagonists • Types of muscle contraction: isotonic (concentric and eccentric) and isometric related to the sporting actions.

3. Understanding & Analysing Movement Jan05Q5 Kick Planes of Movement Axes of the body Frontal Transverse or horizontal axis Transverse Longitudinal Axis Sagittal

4. Understanding & Analysing Movement

5. Understanding & Analysing Movement Construct a movement sequence using the following in the correct order:- Abduction, flexion, inversion, circumduction, supination, adduction, plantarflexion, extension, eversion, rotation, dorsiflexion, pronation

6. Agonists and Antagonists • Agonist – Prime Mover Muscle or muscle group mainly responsible for a movement • Antagonist Muscle or muscle group that acts to produce the opposite action of the agonist

7. Types of Muscle Action Isotonic Isokinetic Constant speed of movement Isometric Constant length (no movement) Concentric (shortening under tension) Eccentric (Lengthening under tension)

8. Movement Analysis

9. Levers • Three classes of levers • Examples of the use of levers in the body • Relationship of levers to effective performance – mechanical advantages and disadvantages and range and speed of movement.

10. Levers - Types 1st Class 2nd Class 3rd Class

11. Levers – Mechanical Disadvantage Work = Force × Distance MA tells how much the lever magnifies effort M Ad > 1 occurs if effort required less than load M Ad < 1 occurs if effort required greater than load

12. effort resistance effort arm resistance arm axis MA - 1st class lever • Effort & resistance act on opposite sides of axis • It is the most versatile of the lever systems • Depending on effort arm distance can lift a large resistance or act at a small distance to move the resistance a greater distance M Ad either > or < 1 or = 1 (dependent upon axis)

13. MA - 2nd class lever • Forces act on one side of the axis • M Ad always > 1(effort is always less than the resistance) Effort arm effort axis Resistance arm The effort must always move a greater distance than the resistance

14. 3rd class lever • Forces act on one side of the axis • M Ad always < 1 (effort always greater than the resistance) • Muscle pulls point of application through small arc • Distal portion of the lever moves through large arc • Large range of motion and speed of distal portion effort effort arm axis Resistance Resistance arm Jan03Q1 Tennis Ans

Explanation of the principles of each method, specific examples, advantages and disadvantages.

16. Fitness Questions - Exams How do I test it? What is it? When do I use it? How do I improve it?

17. Fitness Training Considerations Performer’s needs – base line Fitness components of activity Training principles Training methods Training year - major competitions

18. Training principles (1) Specificity – relevant to task – energy system, body area, movement Progression – more intensity/ frequency/ duration Over-training – insufficient rest is harmful Reversibility – Lose quicker than you gain Tedium – variety, repetition is boring

19. Training principles (2) – F.I.T.T. F – frequency (per day/week) I – intensity (% of max) T – time/duration T – type/mode (continuous/intermittent)

20. Continuous training • Continuous running, swimming, rowing or cycling - trains aerobic system - develops endurance • Sub-maximal work • Higher intensity – anaerobic systems • Based on % of max HR (HR Zones)

21. Determining intensity • Lactate sampling • Heart rate • Karvonen formula [(max HR - resting HR) x 0.6] + resting HR • Heart rate training zone • Training pace/intensity - % of maximum

22. Measured as a percentage of maximum heart rate Maximum heart rate (220 - age) Unfit – train at 50-70% of max HR Fit – train at 70-90% of max HR Heart rate zones

23. Borg Scale – rate of perceived exertion

24. Intermittent training • Periods of work and recovery • Adjust frequency, duration, intensity and recovery period • Blocks of work = ‘sets’ • Sets composed of repetitions • Number of repetitions/intensity of the exercise –link to recovery interval – energy system • Circuit training, weight training, shuttles

25. Circuit training • A series of exercises performed one after the other – the circuit • Each exercise exists at a ‘station’ • Consecutive stations designed to stress different muscle groups • Or different aspects of fitness - spread the fatigue. Usually designed to last 20 - 40 minutes • Normally - 2-4 laps of the circuit, • Rest interval decided between laps and/or stations. 35-60

26. Strength • Training programs that are concentric-only / eccentric-only do not yield as much strength gains as combined • because concentric contraction may use different motor units than eccentric contraction • because we are not able to maximally contract eccentrically (we are lengthening muscle) • delayed-onset muscle soreness

27. METHODS Weighted vest running/jumping Uphill running, riding Sand/shallow water running Towing (sled, tire, parachute etc)

28. Strength • plyometrics or “pre-loading” • eccentric-concentric sequence • muscle performs more positive work during concentric contraction • storage of elastic energy • altered cross-bridge attachment • more calcium release • activation of larger, stronger motor units

29. PLYOMETRICS • Eccentric contraction (landing) Stretch-Shorten Cycle Stretch Reflex Elastic energy stored • Concentric – take off

30. PLYOMETRICS • Stretch-Shorten Cycle • Stretch Reflex • eccentric-concentric sequence • muscle performs more positive work during concentric contraction • storage of elastic energy • altered cross-bridge attachment • more calcium release • activation of larger, stronger motor units

31. Fitness – flexibility • Move joints through a wide range of movement (ROM) • Most activities because of need to stretch to reach • Limits to movement – bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons • Sit and reach test, goniometers

32. Stretching Active Involves voluntary muscle contractions to achieve stretch Stretch held for 30-60 seconds Relax muscle of end of range Passive Use external force to increase range achieved – partner, gravity, body wt Forcibly increase range achieved

33. Stretching - PNF • Best way of increasing flexibility • Hold stretch for 6 seconds • Stretch reflex inhibited • Isometric contraction • Increase stretch

34. Training Overload

35. Fatigue Theory of Supercompensation

36. Under-Training

37. Fitness Testing Tests for each component Name, describe, component, limitations Maximal - Sub-maximal Limitations Relationship of component to activity/game situation. Inter-relationship of components Validity Actually measures what it claims Reliability Variables accounted for/controlled If test is repeated should give same result Ethical Considerations Health and safety, tests to destruction

38. Maximal and sub-maximal tests • Maximal – exercise to exhaustion – need high motivation • Sub-maximal – exercise to less than maximal and extrapolating results (heart rate) to estimate maximal values

39. Direct and indirect tests Most concerned with cardio-respiratory endurance/stamina - VO2 max Indirect involves estimating VO2 max – by measuring heart rate Direct involves measuring VO2 max

40. Physiological tests Heart Rate • Pulse taking is cheap and simple • Pulse meter more accurate and less distracting; doesn’t require performer to stop • Respiration • Use breath volume bags (Douglas bags) linked to one-way valve to measure vital capacity • Maximum expiration into the bag following a maximum inspiration

41. Predictive tests • Maximum heart rate corresponds to exercise at a maximum workload • Heart rate is related to workload over a range of exercise intensities • Use heart rate measures to estimate maximum heart rate/workload Step Tests – protocol, step height cadence etc. Simple but outmoded

42. Multistage shuttle run test • Predicts VO2 max • 20-metre shuttles using tape-recorded timing; progressive; maximal; accurate; large groups • Maximal – requires motivation; favours runners

43. PWC170 cycle ergometer test • Measures aerobic fitness/stamina • Standardised workload undertaken – heart rate measured • Three workloads/heart rates taken • Data extrapolated to find workload achievable at heart rate of 170bpm • Accurate – measurement of both HR and workload

44. Wingate power test • 30 seconds of all out cycling to determine anaerobic power • Workload calculated according to weight • Number of revolutions counted for every 5 seconds of test • Graph produced of power against time • Accurate – measurement of both power and time

45. Objective, Subjective Tests Objective tests provide quantifiable measures of performance - (metres/seconds/runs/points) Subjective tests provide judgments about quality of performance – no units

46. Skill Testing Jan03Q5 Ans Validity Testing skills in isolation? Objectivity Measured success/outcomes the same as skilful play? Subjectivity Can you judge skilful play without measuring? Reliability Testing skills in performance situations?

47. Warm Up • Improves oxygen delivery via blood flow • Improves chemical reactions for energy • Sensitises nerves and improves conduction • Movement rehearsal • Reduces injury • Blood flow to heart

48. Cool Down • Active recovery 5-10 minutes light exercise • Static stretching 5-10 minutes • Disperses waste products • Reduces DOMS • Reduce blood pooling –dizziness • Slows heart rate
