Across
- 3. substances and methods used to enhanced delivery of oxygen to the working muscles, improving and/or altering the function of the cardiorespiratory system that may cause harm or provide an unfair advantage
- 6. devices to assist traditional aerobic training methods and enhance the performance of the cardiorespiratory system and provide instantaneous feedback, allowing the athlete to monitor and track the work being completed and ensure they are meeting proposed training aims
- 7. a training principle that states the minimum times a week that training needs to be completed for chronic adaptations to occur
- 9. nvolves the process of infusing extra human blood (red blood cells) into the body prior to performance. It can be an athlete’s own blood or that of someone else of same blood type
- 10. a training principle that states the minimum duration that training a training session or program needs to be completed for chronic adaptations to occur
- 12. long term changes to the body at the structural and physiological level in response to demands of training and lead to improved fitness
- 15. factors that influence behaviour and participation including income, education, influence of self, family, peers, influence of coaches and sporting organisations
- 18. This hormone stimulates the production of red blood cells. Athletes may use a synthetic version of EPO in order to gain an advantage over others, particularly in endurance-based sports
- 19. a device that tracks the athlete's global position that can be used to track movement patterns, distances and speeds
Down
- 1. involves activity that lasts a minimum of twenty minutes with no rest at the required submaximal (70–85 % max HR) intensity. It leads to an improvement in aerobic power and hence the delivery of oxygen to working muscles. Commonly used by runners, swimmers and cyclists, as well as in team sports as a preseason training method to establish a sound aerobic base.
- 2. a training principle that states the specific training method and exercises that needs to be completed for the desired chronic adaptations to occur
- 4. a device used to monitor intensity to ensure the correct aerobic training zone is reached to gain maximal benefit from training sessions
- 5. (W:R) describes that proportion of work time and rest time during interval type training and determines the energy system being targeted and the level of fatigue and recovery experienced during the training session
- 8. involves set periods of work followed by set periods of rest or recovery, repeated several times in an exercise session. Involves working at a submaximal intensity for longer distances with a work-to-rest ratio of 1 : 1 or 2:1
- 11. variation of continuous training that involves changes of intensity throughout the session. Continuous submaximal efforts interspersed with high intensity efforts allow the athlete to work both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, simulating the interplay that may be required in many individual and team sports. This benefits the athlete through improvements in anaerobic capacity and speed, as well as aerobic power and endurance.
- 13. involves repeated bouts of high intensity efforts (90–95+ per cent HR max) followed by varying periods of recovery at a lower intensity (40–50 per cent HR max). These efforts can be manipulated to suit endurance athletes, with work periods ranging from 30 seconds to eight minutes
- 14. medical drugs that block adrenalin hormones from binding to receptors on nerves, thus reducing the effect these hormones have on the heart and blood vessels.
- 16. a training principle that states the minimum amount of effort or load (eg. % maximum HR)that training needs to be completed at for chronic adaptations to occur
- 17. a legal training method that involves training at levels greater than 1500 metres above sea level to induce physiological changes that enhance the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
