Sources of
energy; aerobic
systems,
ATP-PC system
and lactic acid
system
Creatine loading; refers to
the ingestion of creatine
supplements to enhance
aerobic performance
Diet in vital to athletic performance . Needs
to consider; 1.Adequate fuels is consumed
2.Fuel stores are full 3. Adequate hydration
4. Fuel stores are suplemtented
Carb Loading; a legal method to
boost glycogen stores. The body
must be stressed to store more
Hydration; the loss of body fluids
and electrolytes leads to
dehydration and decrease in
performance. ISOTONIC; contains
electrolyts and 6-8% carbs.
HYPOTONIC; contains electrolytes
but low carbs. HYPERTONIC; high
carbs, does not hydrate well
Process of acclimitisation
HEAT; need to dispate heat to avoid
overheating. Common illnesses include;
hyperthermia, heat cramps, dehydration.
Takes up to 14 days. Adaptations such as;
early onset sweat production occurs
Altitude; Parial pressure of oxygen is low. Greater
altitude the greater hypoxia, decrease in
performance. Training at altitude increases
aerobic performance. Over 12 weeks adaptations
such as; increase muscle and tissue
cappillarisation, increase myoglobin concentraion
Hydration
planning; attention
to hydration, and
awareness of the
potential damage
are important in
hot conditions
Increase in
plasma volume,
undergoing heat
acclimatisation
may experience
temperatur
increase. Usually
returns to normal
within 8-14 days
Types of Stretches
Dynamic; consists of controlled
movements taking the joint
through its full range of movement
Static; performace stretches the
muscle to a safe limit and is held
PNF; involves passive stretching
followed by isometric
contractions
Ballistic; uses bouncing to help
forcibly stretch the muscle
