3000m race

What is the primary purpose of the continuous method of training for endurance?

To improve the working efficiency of the heart and lungs

What is the recommended heart rate range for an athlete during continuous endurance training?

140-160 beats per minute

What is the minimum duration of exercise recommended for the fast continuous method of endurance training?

30 minutes

Which of the following is not an advantage of the continuous method of endurance training?

Reduces the risk of injury during exercise

What type of endurance is required for a 1500m race?

Medium-term endurance

What is the primary purpose of developing long-term endurance?

To improve cardiovascular fitness and the ability to sustain physical activity

Which type of endurance is associated with the ability to perform prolonged physical activities involving large muscle groups at a moderate pace?

Basic Endurance

Which type of endurance is characterized by the ability to resist fatigue across a variety of different physical activities?

General Endurance

Which of the following is NOT a key benefit of developing long-term endurance?

Enhanced muscle strength and power

Which type of endurance is associated with the ability to perform a specific movement or activity for an extended duration?

Basic Endurance

How does the development of long-term endurance differ from the development of muscular strength?

Long-term endurance is primarily concerned with improving cardiovascular fitness and the ability to sustain physical activity, while muscular strength is focused on building maximum muscle force and power.

What is the main purpose of the Interval Training Method?

To develop endurance for track runners

What is the recommended heart rate range during the recovery period in Interval Training?

120-130 beats/min

Which of the following is NOT listed as an advantage of the Interval Training Method?

It helps develop muscle hypertrophy.

What is the heart rate range during Fartlek Training?

140-180 beats/min

What does the term 'Fartlek' mean?

Speed play

Which of the following sports is NOT mentioned as an example where Interval Training can be applied?

Study Notes

Endurance

  • Specific Endurance refers to the ability of an individual to complete a task without fatigue, and its requirement depends on the nature of the activity.
  • Types of endurance based on duration of activity:
    • Speed Endurance: ability to perform movements with high speed to resist fatigue in activities up to 45 seconds.
    • Short-term Endurance: needed to resist fatigue in sports activities lasting from 45 seconds to 2 minutes (e.g., 800m race).
    • Medium-term Endurance: activity lasting from 2 minutes to 11 minutes (e.g., 1500m and 3000m races).
    • Long-term Endurance: needed for sports that require more than 11 minutes (e.g., 5000m to 1000m cross-country race).

Training Methods

  • Continuous Method:

    • Exercise done for a long duration without rest, with low intensity.
    • Heart rate for athletes: 140-160 beats per minute (or 175-180 beats per minute for fast continuous method).
    • Duration: more than 30 minutes.
    • Advantages: strengthens will to work, increases red blood cells in muscles, enhances heart and lungs efficiency, and develops eccentric and concentric contractions.
  • Iso-Kinetic Exercises:

    • Introduced by J.J. Perrine in 1968.
    • Combines Isotonic and Isometric exercises.
    • Develops strength of muscles.
  • Interval Method:

    • Effective for developing endurance for track runners.
    • Intervals given for recovery between repetitions.
    • Heart rate should reach 180 beats per minute and recover to 120-130 beats per minute.
    • Advantages: improves working capacity, has a positive effect on respiratory and circulatory systems, and allows trainers to observe players easily.
  • Fartlek Training Method:

    • Developed by Swedish coach Gosta Holmer in 1930.
    • Also known as "Swedish play" or "Speed play".
    • Involves varying pace throughout the exercise, with heart rate fluctuating between 140-180 beats per minute.
    • Develops endurance ability and is self-disciplined in nature.

Speed

  • Ability to do movement as quickly as possible.
  • Types of speed ability:
    • (To be completed)

This quiz covers the different types of endurance in sports, such as specific endurance, speed endurance, and short term endurance. Learn about the specific requirements for various activities like boxing and wrestling, and the duration of activities that each type of endurance is suited for.
