Describe the difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance.
Muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle can exert in a single effort (e.g., lifting a heavy weight once).
Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to perform repeated contractions over time (e.g., cycling for a long period).
What is the importance of rest and recovery in a training programme?
Rest and recovery allow muscles to repair and grow, prevent injuries, and improve overall performance by avoiding overtraining.
List three different types of training methods and provide a sport that benefits from each.
- Interval training – Football (helps with bursts of speed and recovery).
- Weight training – Rugby (builds strength and power).
- Flexibility training – Gymnastics (improves range of movement).
How can specificity be applied to a training programme?
Specificity means training should be relevant to the sport or activity. For example, a swimmer should focus on swimming drills rather than running.
Why is progressive overload important in training?
It ensures continued improvement by gradually increasing the difficulty of training (e.g., increasing weight, duration, or intensity).
What is the difference between static and dynamic stretching?
- Static stretching involves holding a stretch for a period of time (e.g., touching toes).
- Dynamic stretching involves controlled movements that prepare muscles for activity (e.g., leg swings).
How does circuit training improve overall fitness?
Circuit training combines different exercises to target multiple components of fitness, such as strength, endurance, and agility, making it beneficial for many sports.
