Lakukan tugas rumah & ujian kamu dengan baik sekarang menggunakan Quizwiz!

Factors for screening for the ideal athlete (Just read the lecture pretty simple)

1) Hereditary factor 2) Time Spent in Sport 3) Maturity 4) Physical Capacity Screening

Why are athletes getting faster and stronger?

1) Technology 2) Research 3) Gene Pool Selection - Talent ID

ADV and DISADV of Endo

ADV - Absolute mass for blocking sports; Hypothermia resistance, floatation DISADV - Low power: weight; high energy cost of locomotion; impaired heat dissipation; cardiac risk factors; low self esteem

ADV and DISADV of Meso

ADV - Absolute strength, injury resistance, hypothermia resistance, positive self image DISADV - Power at expense of endurance; poor heat dissipation; exercise can become obsessive in bodybuilders

ADV and DISADV of Ecto

ADV - Cardiac health Low energy cost of locomotion power:weight ratio Injury DISADV - Lack of upper body strength; risk of diminished self image

Athropometry

Anthropometry which includes test for skinfold, girth, height, weight, limb length and bone breath

What are the 3 somtatypes?

Endomorph Mesomorph Ectomorph

Somatotype Components

Endomorph (Lean - fat) Mesomorph (Slender - Muscular) Ectomorph (Heavy - Light)

How do you measure Meso

Musculo-skeletal robustness, based on humerus & femur breadths, and corrected girths of calf and upper arm

What is Dysplasia?

Possible to exhibit different types between body segments

How do you measure Endo

based on 3 skinfolds

How do you measure Ecto

based on height and weight

Factors that affect body composition

•Genetics •Environmental factors -Nutrition -Lifestyle factors •Age •Gender •Race and ethnic group

What is commonly used to asses athropometric somatotypes?

Health-Carter measurements

Outline the different ratings of Endo

L (Low) - Lean physique, no fat H (High) - Obese, large deposits of fat

Outline the different ratings of Ecto

L - large mass relative to stature H - little mass relative to stature and relatively elongated limb segments

Outline the different ratings of Meso

L - small muscle mass, narrow bone diameter relative to body stature H - large muscle mass, wide bone diameter
