PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
SPECIALIST TEST 2025
Linear Speed: Response The capacity to move the body as quickly as possible
in a single direction
Stride Rate: Response stride length, which determines how long it takes to
finish a stride cycle.
Length of Stride-ANSWER Increasing the force exerted on the ground
improves the distance travelled with each stride.
ANSWER: Stretch-Shortening Cycle An active muscle stretch (eccentric
contraction) that is immediately followed by a muscle shortening (concentric
contraction)
Speed: ANSWER The activity's "rate of performance"
Over-striding: ANSWER slows motion by producing a decelerating force.
Drive Phase: Response The moment the foot touches the earth
Phase of Recovery: ANSWER When the foot leaves the ground and the leg
swings from the hip
Support Phase: ANSWER In this phase, the entire foot bears the runner's
weight.
ANSWER: Agility The body's capacity to swiftly and accurately adjust its
