What is another name for the Aerobic Glycolysis system?
Aerobic Energy System
What does it mean for a system to be Aerobic?
Aerobic means "with oxygen," If the energy system uses Oxygen it is called Aerobic
What does it mean for a system to be Anaerobic?
Anaerobic means “without oxygen," If the energy system does not use Oxygen it is called Anaerobic.

How many times does the heart beat while at rest?
70
How many beats can the heart get up to during maximum exersize?
220 - your age
What is the hearts main function?
To pump blood around the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients and removes waste products like carbon dioxide.
How much blood is the average person made up of?
5 liters
What are red blood cells?
carry O2 and nutrients around the body. Makes up 45% of blood. Lives for around 4 months.
White blood Cells
Help fight disease and removes dying blood cells. Makes up only 1% of blood and usually lives for 18-36 hours.
What are Platelets?
Play a role in blood clotting.
What is Plasma?
Clear, yellowish fluid, that makes up around 55% of blood and carries the RBC, WBC and platelets around the body.
Why is beneficial to analyze performance?
diagnose weaknesses and strengths
assess the level of achievement of players
identify areas of improvement
predict future performance
plan future training sessions.
What is subjective analysis of performance?
Tends to be based on the observer’s knowledge of the activity, their personal judgement or bias and how well the observer can judge what is happening in the performance.
What are some sports that use subjective analysis of performance?
surfing, dance, gymnastics, ice skating
What is objective analysis performance?
Involves the measurement of certain indisputable facts like test results or statistics. e.g a player who scores a better test result, is thought to be a better performer.
What are some sports that use objective analysis performance?
Basketball, Netball, Hockey
What is biomechanics?
Biomechanics are all about how the body moves, which coaches use to analyse athletes
What are the five main components of biomechanics?
motion, force, momentum, levers and balance
What is potential energy?
Potential energy is energy that is stored- or conserved- in an object like bouncing a ball. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
Who discovered potential energy?
Physicist William Rankin, in the 19th century
What sports is potential energy used in?
Tennis (when the ball is being hit), basketball (when the ball is being thrown), cricket (when the ball is being thrown) and football (when the ball is being kicked). Every sport that uses a ball uses potential energy.
How is potential energy an advantage to players?
Athletes use potential energy to their advantage by allowing it to create heat and generate power for them.
