1. How did the Brownlee brothers become so successful?

2. Components of Fitness and principles of training – A.1(Pg. 4 - 5 ) • In this unit you will: • Know about the components of fitness and the principles of training

3. Home learning • Bronze and Silver challenge

4. Components of physical fitness A.1 Mime these to your partner, can they guess correctly? • Aerobic Endurance • Muscular Endurance • Flexibility • Speed • Muscular strength • Body composition

5. Two types of fitness • Physical fitness • AE • ME • F • S • MS • BC • Skill related fitness • A • B • C • P • R

6. Aerobic Endurance: Definition • “Ability of the cardiorespiratory system to work efficiently. Supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity” • Also known as: • Aerobic Fitness • Cardiorespiratory Endurance • Cardiorespiratory Fitness

7. Cardiorespiratory System • Made from: • Cardiovascular system(Circulatory system - Heart, Blood and Blood Vessels) • AND • Respiratory system (Lungs and airways)

8. Cardiorespiratory system • Breathe oxygen in • Nutrients and oxygen transported around the body • Removes waste (E.g.) Carbon Dioxide

9. Why it’s important in Sport • Useful so the performer can “keep going”, without getting tired. • Can perform more effectively during later stages when others are tired. Lots of goals are scored during the last 15 minutes of Football matches • Sports …

10. Muscular Endurance: Definition • “ Ability of the muscular system to work efficiently, where a muscle can continue contracting over a period of time against a light to moderate fixed resistance workload”

11. Why it’s important in sport • Needed for the muscles to repeat movements over and over again • Without getting fatigued • (E.g.) Tennis player that can maintain serve and groundstrokes during final set

12. Flexibility: Definition • “ Adequate range of motion in all joints of the body ; the ability to move a joint fluidly through it’s complete range of movement”

13. Why it’s important in sport • Can be useful in preventing muscle and joint injuries from happening • Allows performers to reach/stretch further • (E.g.) Badminton player being able to reach low down to play a recovering shot. Gymnast performing vaults or routines

14. Speed: Definition • “Distance a person travels divided by time taken.” • Speed = Distance / Time • Measured in m/s (metres per second) • Types of speed: • Accelerative • Pure • Speed Endurance

15. Types of speed • Accelerative (you start moving) • Covering a distance of up to 30 metres • Pure (your maximum speed) • Distance up to 60 metres • Speed Endurance • Short recovery periods in-between sprints

16. Why it’s important in sport • 100 metre race: Quickest sprinter gets to the line first • Rugby winger is too fast for the defender • Defender can’t catch them

17. Muscular Strength: Definition • “Maximum force measured in kilograms (Kg) or Newtons (N) that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group” • Explosive strength (force exerted in one quick, powerful contraction) • Dynamic strength (force that can be exerted repeatedly my a muscle)

18. Why it’s important in sport • Weightlifter to be able to lift heavy weight • Footballer being strong in a tackle to win the ball from an opponent • Rugby union player using their force in the scrum

19. Body Composition: Definition • “Relative ratio of fat mass to fat-free mass (vital organs, muscle and bone) in the body”

20. Why it’s important in sport • Sprinter would tend to be a Mesomorph: muscular and powerful to generate speed to get to the line first • Sumo-wrestler is an Endomorph : Large performer to be able to push others out of the ring. • Marathon runners are Ectomorphs to be light on their feet for the 26 mile race
