Extreme mental or physical tiredness,
causing temporary loss of strength
and energy.
Muscle may not be able to
perform due to local
muscular fatigue
Concentration
decreases and mistakes
of judgement increase
Substitutions are there so
players can be taken off
when fatigued

can be adjusted to fit
any sport or activity
whether aerobic or
anaerobic

international factors
diet
7 food groups
carbohydrates
fast release energy for athletes
carbo load: to not consume carbs 3 weeks prior to
contest then consume carbs the following days
leading to contest as the body will store more
carbs incase of another starvation
fats
slow release energy
stored around the body
protein
to repair cells and growth
emergency energy store
(atrophy/catabolism) mostly in
anorexics
Athletics use numbers and letters to
class level of disability, basketball
tally the points and each team must
keep under a certain score
Wheelchairs and other
equipment are
adapated for disabilitys
Wheelchair basketball
somatatype
Ectomorph
tend to be long limbed, thin,
light weight, narrow shoulder
and hips, very little muscle or
fat: built for endurance sport
or gymnastics
Horse Jockey, high
jump, marathon
Endomorph
tend to have high muscle and fat
mass, wide hips, narrow shoulders,
place weight on easy, short legs in
relation to the midsection, struggle
with aerobic exercises suited to
sports for there bulk
Rugby, sumo
Mesomorph
Wide shoulders,
muscular arms and legs,
narrow hips and a
minimal amoun of fat.
extreme mesomorph
excel in strength, agility
and speed sports
most sports, swimming, sprinting
doesn't mean you cant
compete in a certain sport, no
account of height was made
age
Flexibility is quiet high
in teens but decreases
with age
Strength decreases with
age but we will no hit
our maximal strength till
late teens/early twenties
Oxygen capacity reduces with
age and the heart becomes less
efficient. the arteries gradually
become less elastical and BP
increases reducing blood flow
Skill and experience
increase with age
With age the more
you are likely to
catch an injury
Being aware allows
players to know there
peak period
Bones become
brittle with age
osteoporrosis
Age divisions are used to
reduce the chance of
physical mismatch (under
10) and those who are more
developed can play with a
higher age group
activity levels and needs
Activity needs: will vary
between activities as they
place different demands on
the performer.
Competitive
performers are needed to be very committed to
train. they have to put aside a day to compete a
week or spend more than two days a week training
physical and skill activitys. if they are professional
they focus purely on that activity
Performance levels vary
as someone at county or
international has to
dedicate more time
low levels of activity have minimal benefits but high
level of participation has various health benefits "A
complete sense of mental, physical, and social
wellbeing, in the absence of infermity and disease"
Age will affect this as
someone with a full time job
cant compete as much as a
student
Recreational
These are not as demanding as
they do not require special
training or prep. the only
requirements are dedicating a
small amount of time at a
convenient time.
Risk and challenge
Some sports need risk and
challlenge to make them
worthwhile such as
climbing or rowing. once
one level is complete, the
next level is then
attempted. this can be
completing a marathon or
tackle a bigger opponent in
rugby (physical challenge)
Risk assessment must be made
before competing so no participant
is injured or a high risk.
Risk control
Participants must stick to guidelines and
rules so hey do not injure themselves or
others.
Organisers need to make sure
hat the groups are warmed up
properly and he participants
are put in correct groups for
gender, age so risk is low
Safe guarding: it is important that
telephones are available for
emergency contact. also first aid
is available along with qualified
first aiders
Training
Level of participation
Competing at the highest level athletes
have to mind that they peak at the right
time this coincides with a tournaments.
Pre season: focused on fitness
even incoorperating a
technique
Peak season: main part of the
season, continues fitness work,
while focusing on skills while
competing
Post/off season: mainly period for
rest and recovery, but need to
maintain general fitness.
Available time
Many swimmers have to train
before public hours are open. can
only improve b y training and time
is needed
Available funding
More money, better equiptment,
better facilities,better trainers.
sponsorship may be need
