Flashcards on Sports Physiology
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is sports physiology?
Sports physiology is the study of how the human body responds and adapts to physical activity and exercise.
What are the benefits of studying sports physiology?
Studying sports physiology helps athletes improve performance, prevent injuries, and optimize training programs.
What is aerobic exercise?
Aerobic exercise is a type of exercise that requires oxygen and increases heart rate and breathing.
What is anaerobic exercise?
Anaerobic exercise is a type of exercise that does not require oxygen and involves short bursts of intense activity.
What is VO2 max?
VO2 max is the maximum volume of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense exercise. It is a measure of aerobic endurance.
What is lactate threshold?
Lactate threshold is the point during exercise at which lactate starts to accumulate in the blood.
What is muscle fatigue?
Muscle fatigue is the decline in muscle performance and the ability to generate force.
What is the role of hydration in sports physiology?
Proper hydration is essential for maintaining performance and preventing dehydration during exercise.
What is the importance of nutrition in sports physiology?
Nutrition plays a crucial role in fueling athletes, optimizing performance, and aiding in recovery.
What are some common heat-related illnesses in sports?
Heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are common heat-related illnesses that can occur during exercise.
What is the effect of altitude on athletic performance?
Exercising at high altitude can result in decreased oxygen availability, which can impact endurance and performance.
How does strength training improve sports performance?
Strength training helps athletes develop muscle strength, power, and overall performance in various sports.
What is the role of psychology in sports physiology?
Psychological factors, such as mental focus, motivation, and confidence, can influence athletic performance.
What are the physiological effects of endurance training?
Endurance training can improve cardiovascular fitness, increase muscle endurance, and enhance oxygen utilization.
What is the effect of age on sports performance?
As individuals age, there is a natural decline in physical capabilities and performance potential.
