Strength- maximum force exerted in a muscle during a single contraction

Stamina- the ability to sustain vigorous total body activity aerobically

Flexibility-the ability to move a joint through itrs range of movement

Power- the ability to use strength quickly Speed- the maximum rate at which a person can

move their body Muscular endurance- the ability for a muscle to

sustain repeated muscular contractions without fatigue

Balance, reaction time, coordination, agility

How would determine body composition? % body fat can be determined using

skinfold calipers which measure the thickness of body fat at points around the body.

These are used to calculate body fat % This is then compared to national tables

Provide recommendations for carbs, fat and protein intake for a cross country skier and ski jumper- give reasons for your recommendations(6)

Ski jump= power event, XC skier is stamina event.

1- ski jumper will need additional protein 2- they will need to do heavy resistance

training and build muscle (hypertrophy) 3- Fat intake should be restricted for both as it

is not used as a form of energy. 4- The XC skier will need more carbohydrates 5- as there is more stress on the body in this

event so they will need to replenish glycogen. 6- Both athletes will need a balanced diet

Balance Coordination Agility

Describe a recognised test for a high jumper (3 marks)

Describe a recognised test for a high jumper (3 marks) Vertical jump test Performer stands with hand outstretched

whilst feet flat on the floor this height is marked.

Jumper then jumps as high as possible This height is recorded The difference is calculated and recorded Distance is then compared to national

standards.

How can an athlete’s diet aid recovery? 2 marks Eat carbohydrates within 2 hours to

speed up recovery Water is needed to rehydrate the body. Protein is needed to repair the muscles. Eat foods with a high GI index- they help

convert glucose into glycogen which is stored
