What is the definition of ability?

• A learned action/learned behaviour with the intention of bringing about pre- determined results, with maximum certainty and minimum outlay of time and energy.

• Inherited, stable traits that determine an individual’s potential to learn or acquire a skill.

What is the definition of aerobic exercise?

• With oxygen. When exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen that the working muscles need. Summarised as: glucose + oxygen → energy + carbon dioxide + water.

• Without oxygen. When exercise duration is short and at high intensity, the heart and lungs cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles as fast as the respiring cells need them. Summarised as: glucose → energy + lactic acid.

What is the definition of anaerobic exercise?

• Without oxygen. When exercise duration is short and at high intensity, the heart and lungs cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles as fast as the respiring cells need them. Summarised as: glucose → energy + lactic acid.

• With oxygen. When exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen that the working muscles need. Summarised as: glucose + oxygen → energy + carbon dioxide + water.

What is the definition of agility?

• The maintenance of the centre of mass over the base of support. Reference can bemade to whilst static (still) or dynamic (whilst moving).

• The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles.

• The ability to move and change direction quickly (at speed) whilst maintaining control.

• The ability to use different (two or more) parts of the body together, smoothly and efficiently.

Which is not an example of an axis in the body?

What is the job of the valves in veins?

• Pump blood to the heart

• Pump blood away from the hear

• Prevent backflow

• Vascular shunt

What are the articulating bones at the shoulder

• humerus and scapula

• radius and humerus

• femur and tibia

• pelvis and femur

What are the aims of beta blockers?

• Increase muscle mass

• Increase red blood cell count

• Steady nerves and control heart rate

• Remove fluid from the body

What is meant by systolic in terms of blood pressure?

• when the heart is contracting (emptying)

• when the heart is relaxed. (filling)

What is the aim of blood doping?

• Calm nerves and lower heart rate

• Remove fluid

• Increase muscle size and strength

• Increase red blood cell count
