IB Sports Science and Health Exam Questions with Correct Answers| Latest Update Graded A+
Describe Plyometric Training Training to improve the speed at which one contracts a muscle.
This helps with explosive movements in sports
Ways exercise intensity can be monitored Karvonen method: Where the difference between
maximum and resting heart rate are multiplied by the percent of max HR added with rest HR.
Ratings of perceived exertion: BORG, OMNI, CERT scale
The training heart rate : Linear relationship between TR HR and VO2 MAX
TR HR zone: The amount of time children stay in their TR HR zone
Ratings of Percieved Exertion
Describe the OMNI scale Children use pictures to describe intensity.
BORG scale Exercise monitoring For adults on how you feel from 6-20.
CERT scale Used for ages 6-9 1-10 scale for rate of intensity...PCERT uses picture
Distinguish between Training, overtraining and overreaching Training is performing exercise
in an organized manner on a regular basis with a specific goal
Overtraining is performing exercise beyond physical and mental capacity
Overreaching is training just to the breaking point than stepping back the intensity to avoid OTS
Describe some symptoms of OTS Decreased Appetite: The production of serotonin makes
the athlete feel full when in OTS state.
Chronic Fatigue: When the body is in the overtrained state, neurotransmitters called serotonin
produce and they cause a feeling of sleepiness and lethargic moods.
, Sudden Unexplained decrements in performance: This is the gold standard as all patients with
OTS have this in common. If the athletes are overworked with little rest, their performance will
not be in top shape.
Chronic soreness: When the body is overtrained an exceeding amount of cytokines produce to
inflame the whole body leading to soreness.
High resting heart rate: Because an athlete does not get the proper rest during workouts, the
body cannot repair itself at proper times so an increased rhr is a sign that the body is working
harder than it needs to when not exercising.
Difference Between Health Related - Skill Related and Physical fitness Health Related fitness-
Physical ability to maintain health and perform daily activities to live
Skill Related-And individuals physical ability to perform in a sport
Physical fitness: One's physical ability to do a specific activity
What does PAR-Q stand for Physical
Activity
Readiness
Questionare
Goal of Pre season Prepare athlete physically psychologically technically tactically to
maximize performance in competitive season lasting 3-6 months
Goal of post season To recover and become refreshed before beginning the new pre season
phase of training. This is where cross-training is used in order to take a break from sport related
activities. Maintain an acceptable amount of physical fitness at the same time.
