27
Systemic Circulation
Circulation of blood from the heart to working muscles and organs to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
28
Blood Pressure

- Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood on the walls of blood vessels
29
Types of Blood Pressure
- Systolic
| - Diastolic
30
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
A measure of the ability of a persons lungs, heart and blood vessels to supply oxygen to the working muscles of the body; it also refers to the ability of the working muscles and other organs to utilize this oxygen. (major components of fitness for activities that require continuous movements for long periods of time, long distance running)
31
Muscular Strength
The ability of muscles to apply force to an object; affects persons health by enabling them to participate in life without feeling tired or fatigued (major components of fitness for group sports)
32
Muscular Endurance
The ability of the muscles to perform repeated contractions against a load or resistance (major components of fitness for activities such as canoeing or doings weights at the gym)
33
Flexibility
The range of motion around a joint and can make an important contribution to the way people feel. Stiffness and tightness in joints can limit an individuals freedom of movement and contribute to injury of bones, tendons and muscles (major components of fitness for activities as well as everyday life)
34
Body Composition
The human body is composed of bones, muscles, fat and other essential internal organs such as the brain, heart, kidneys and liver all of which have specific functions. Balanced levels is extremely important (genetics will affect)
35
Skill related components of physical fitness
- Power
- Speed
- Agility
- Coordination
- Balance
- Reaction Time
36
Power
The ability to exert maximum force in the shortest possible time. It is a combination of strength and speed
37
Speed
The muscles ability to contract quickly. This translate into fast movements of the body parts. An individuals speed is often determined by the muscle fibre they are born with. People have a combination of fast-twitch muscle fibers and slow-switch muscle fibers
38
Agility
The ability to change direction or body positions quickly while still maintaining balance. Power, speed, balance, coordination and even reaction time are important components of agility
39
Coordination
The result of the interaction between the body’s sense of perception and the central nervous systems. Movements can be practiced so that the neural pathways between the brain and body part are established and/or strengthened.
40
Balance
The ability of the body to maintain its equilibrium(it is lost when a person falls over or loses control of their body parts momentarily). Balance is an important component of both agility and coordination. Can be static or dynamic.
41
Reaction Time
The time it takes to react to an external stimulus (could be a starting gun or ball thrown at a person)
42
Aerobic
Training that is done over a long period of time allowing enough oxygen to be delivered to the muscles (800m run)
43
Anaerobic
Training that is done when insufficient oxygen is delivered to working muscles. Tends to be shorter and more intense (100m sprint)
44
FITT Principle
F - Frequency of training (amount of time training performed)
I - Intensity of training (How hard the athlete is working MHR)
T - Type of Training (Method used to improve fitness)
T - Time of Training (how long an individual should exercise MHR)
45
Heart Rate
Number of contractions that the heart makes in a set time (e.g. 60 beats per minute)
46
Ventilation Rate
Number of inhalations or breaths made in a set time (e.g. 60 breaths per minute)
47
Stroke Volume
The amount of blood pumped in any one contraction of the heart
48
Cardiac Output
The rate of blood pumped by the heart in a period of time (e.g. 4.8 liters per minute)
49
Lactate Levels
Lactic acid is a by-product made by muscles when there is insufficient oxygen available to produce aerobic energy
50
Linear Motion
An object of body and all of its parts move in one direction, ie. 100m sprint, 50m swim (predominately linear movements) - can be used to build momentum
51
Projectile Motion
Movement of an object through air, ie. long jump, shot put
52
Speed
Speed equals the distance covered divided by the time is took to cover the distance, M/S, ie. 100m in 9.6s = 100/9.6=10.416 m/s
53
Velocity
Velocity equals the displacement of the body or an object divided by the time taken to cover that distance
54
Acceleration
Rate at which velocity changes in a given amount of time, ie. acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time - important in events such as sprinting and team events when a player must escape to score
55
Momentum
Quantity of motion a body/object possesses, collisions/tackles in sport require momentum to gain a result, ie. momentum = mass x velocity
56
Center of Gravity
COG is the point where all the weight of a body/object is equally distributed around, it shifts with movement and may be outside the body due to persons weight distribution
57
Line of Gravity
LOG is a line that runs through the centre of gravity to the floor and runs through the BOS, if this line doesn't run through BOS the person will become unstable
58
Base of Support
BOS is a region that surrounds a person/objects perimeter when it is in contact with a surface, e.g. the floor (Narrow BOS = Unstable - Large BOS = Stable)
59
Static Balance
Distributes the body over a BOS and is held
60
Active Balance
Can involve the BOS being moved whilst equilibrium is maintained
61
Floatation
The ability to maintain a stationary position in the surface of the water, varys from person to person - body density is a major component to the ability to float
62
Centre of Buoyancy
The COB is the centre if gravity of the fluid displaced by a floating object, around this point all the buoyancy forces are balanced
63
Applied Forces
Forces applied to surfaces or equipment, ie. running track or barbell
64
Reaction Forces
When a similar force opposes it from outside the body
65
How the body absorbs force
Through joints, which bend or flex in response to impact
