Study Notes
Anatomical Terminology
- Anterior: Front of the body
- Posterior: Back of the body
- Lateral: Side of the body
- Superior: Above
- Inferior: Below
- Coronal plane: Divides body into front and back
- Sagittal plane: Divides body into left and right
- Transverse plane: Divides body into top and bottom
Joints
- Ball-and-socket joint: Most mobile and versatile joint (e.g., shoulder)
- Hinge joint: Allows movement in one direction (e.g., elbow)
- Pivot joint: Allows rotation (e.g., neck)
- Ellipsoid (condyloid) joint: Allows movement in multiple directions (e.g., wrist)
- Saddle joint: Allows movement in two directions (e.g., base of thumb)
Muscle Fiber Types
- Type I (slow-twitch): Endurance activities, rely on aerobic metabolism
- Type IIa (fast-twitch, oxidative): High force, fatigue-resistant, moderate endurance
- Type IIb/IIx (fast-twitch, glycolytic): Highest force but fatigue quickly, short, explosive movements
Body Planes
- Frontal: Divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) portions.
- Sagittal: Divides the body into left and right portions.
- Transverse: Divides the body into top (superior) and bottom (inferior) portions.
Muscle Actions
- Extension: Straightening of a joint
- Flexion: Bending of a joint
Training Principles
- Specificity: Tailoring workouts to specific goals
- Progression: Gradually increasing the intensity of workouts
- Overload: Working the body harder than it's used to
- Reversibility: Losing fitness gains if training stops
- Motivation: Athlete's belief in their abilities
- Nutrients: Essential for muscle repair and growth.
Ergogenic Aids
- Pharmacological: performance-enhancing substances (may be illegal or risky)
- Psychological: mental strategies like visualisation or goal-setting
Intrinsic Factors
- Motivation
- Self-efficacy
- Goal-setting
- Visualization
Extrinsic Factors
- Weather
- Temperature
- Altitude
Sports Nutrition
- Carbohydrates: Essential for sustained energy during endurance activities
- Protein: Essential for muscle repair and growth
- Fat: Essential for energy and hormone production
- Carb Loading: Consuming extra carbohydrates before an event
- Ergogenic Aids: substances (nutritional, pharmacological, psychological) aiming to improve athletic performance
