Study Notes

Fitness Training

  • Components of fitness: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition
  • Types of fitness training: aerobic, anaerobic, resistance, flexibility, plyometric
  • Principles of training: overload, specificity, progressive overload, reversibility
  • Methods of fitness training: weightlifting, cardio machines, bodyweight exercises, high-intensity interval training (HIIT)

Exercise Physiology

  • Energy systems: ATP-PC, anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic respiration
  • Physiological responses to exercise: increases in heart rate, blood pressure, ventilation, and body temperature
  • Exercise intensity: measured by percentage of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), heart rate reserve, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE)
  • Physiological adaptations to exercise: increased muscle strength and endurance, improved cardiovascular function, enhanced thermoregulation

Athletic Injuries

  • Types of injuries: acute (e.g., sprains, strains), overuse (e.g., tendinitis, stress fractures), chronic (e.g., osteoarthritis)
  • Causes of injuries: trauma, overtraining, poor biomechanics, inadequate warm-up and cool-down
  • Injury prevention strategies: proper warm-up and cool-down, strengthening exercises, proprioception and balance training, equipment and safety measures
  • Injury management: RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) principle, rehabilitation, and return-to-play protocols

Sport Psychology

  • Performance anxiety: fear of failure, pressure to perform, self-doubt
  • Motivation: intrinsic (e.g., enjoyment, personal growth), extrinsic (e.g., rewards, recognition)
  • Goal setting: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals
  • Mental skills training: visualization, positive self-talk, relaxation techniques, and concentration exercises
  • Team dynamics: communication, cohesion, leadership, and conflict resolution
