Risk factors for CHD

Day 6 Make March Memorable

What factors can increase the risk of CHD??????

 FATTY DIET

STRESS

SMOKING

SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE



OBESITY

BAHL

Day 5  Make March Memorable

What is BAHL?

Balanced Active Healthy Lifestyle

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT SKILLS!!!!!!

so what are we looking at.......

healthy diet
loosing weight
30mins x 5 days (adults)
friends active
role models
5 a day fruit and veg
particpation
lifelong activity

Shrovetide Football

Day 4 Make March Memorable

Had to post this today!!! Happy pancake day.

Ethnic sport in the UK.

Sedentary Lifestyles

Day 3 Make March Memorable

Possible reasons for Sedentary lifestyles?

Office/Desk jobs

More time at work

Labour saving gadgets

Use of the car!

Parents dont exercise/role models

Children dont play outside

More TV/Sport on TV

Drive Reduction Theory

Day 2 Make March Memorable

Drive Reduction Theory.......

1. Need to Learn          (want to learn a tennis serve)
2. Drive to satisfy need (practice a serve)
3. Need is mastered      ( can serve)

If still learning the serve......

Drive Reduction occurs - bordem/loss of motivation.

SO......

A new skill (need) is introduced to regain motivation.

How does this affect BAHL?

Give up BAHL
Give up because bored
Give up because reached target weight or fitness

Atherosclerosis

Day 1 Make March Memorable

Atherosclerosis

Its the narrowing of the lumen in the arteries

because of...........................

The chlorestorol build up on the artery wall

so a plaque forms

causes........

blood clots

and

high blood pressure/heart attack

WAT - 3.8km running line.  #boyMoMwelldone

Mix of muscle fibre types

Day 28 Face February Fighting

How does the mix of muscle fibre types determine the success of the performer?



A mix of fibres good for aerobic and anaerobic events.  Team games.

Slow twitch (slow oxidative) - endurance activties, marathon

Fast Twich (fast oxidative) - anaerobic/explosive events, 100m


WAT - LAST FFF day, its been emotional.
#makemarchmemorable

USA - economic system

Day 27 Face February Fighting

USA

Economic system?

CAPITALISM!!!!
(making money!)



How does it influence sport?

Win at all costs mentality - Lombardianism

Sport is a media product - so needs to be exciting/High scoring.

If capitalism is about making money so sport must be profit making, players have chance for American Dream of rags to riches.

Teams are run as businesses as franchises.

Components of a balanced healthy lifestyle

Day 26, face February fighting

Inverted U Theory

Day 25 Face February Fighting


* As arousal increases so does performance.......
   up to
* an optimum point (Zone of Optimal Arousal)....
   then
* over arousal will lead to a decrease in performance.

The graph is modified because of these variables....

* Fine skills performed more effectively at low arousal (Archery shot) and Gross skills high arousal (Weightlifting)

*Cognitive stage - lower arousal better for optimum
  Autonomous stage - higher arousal better for optimum

* Introverts prefer lower arousal for optimum performance, extroverts higher arousal for optimum.

Examples

Under aroused - Rugby player half heartedly tackles
Optimum - Tackle is solid with good technique
Over aroused - Tackle is out of control, high tackle - give away a penalty

WAT - walking whilst on SSR.  1.8km.  Laps around the school!!!!
#cheatedalittlebutheywhocares

Blood pressure

Day 24 Face February Fighting

Defintion of Blood pressure.....

Blood Flow x Resistance
or
The pressure exerted by blood on the walls of a blood vessel.

Measurements
                     Average              Hypertension
Sytolic            120   mmHg            140   mmHg
--------           -----                       -----
Diastolic           80    mmHg            90    mmHg

WAT - hockey practice  #gettingslightlybetter #sandintrainers

Traditional Amateur Approach to sport in UK

Day 23 Face February Fighting

Traditional Apporach - amateur (l'amour)

Taking part more important than winning - for the love of the game.

Old system was disorganised and lack of communication.  Also ineffective

SO........it had to change into a more modern approach!!!

Modern Approach - winning/competitive/professional

Results driven basis!!!

NGB's need to modernise to get results and therefore keep their funding from UK sport.

Got to raise standards and compete on the world stage

WAT - none today, foot hurts from hockey ball yesterday in the defeat #watsonisawimp 


 
 

Simple or Complex Skill classification

Day 22 Face February Fighting

Simple Skill

 

Few decisions to make

Limited information Processing

Few subroutines

 

 

 

Complex Skill

 

Lots of decisions to make

Lots of information processing

Lots of subroutines

 

 

WAT - 3-1 defeat at hockey.  Boo

Ways to improve joint stability.....

Day 21 Face February Fighting

How can joint stability be improved?

Think about the parts of a joint first......
Then think bigger/stronger/thicker.


Muscle
They get bigger - hypertophy.  Plus more fibres.

Ligaments
They get stronger & more elastic

Tendons
Tendons become stronger

Cartilage
Increase thickness of articular/hyaline cartilage

How is oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?

Day 20 Face February Fighting

Oxygen Transport.......

Combines with Haemoglobin to form Oxyhaemoglobin
or
Dissolved in blood plasma




Carbon Dioxide transport......

Combines with Haemoglobin to form carbominohaemoglobin
or
Dissolved in blood plasma
or
dissolved in water as carbonic acid.


WAT - Badminton with son and cricket net (no DIY) - 120 mins.

Which practice methods to use????

Day 19 Face February Fighting

How do coaches choose which practice methods are most effective in given situations?




1. The classification of the skill
2. The skill level of the performer
    or which stage of learning they are at.
3. The motivation of the performer
4. What resources are available to the coach
5. The situation the performance is in.

WAT - DIY still,  bathroom now!  Sport tomorrow.

Mental practice

Day 18 of Face February Fighting

Mental Practice

Creates a mental picture of the skill..........

so.........

Performer understands the requirements of the skill.

therefore........

it helps the performer remember what the skill looks like.

because of all this.....

it can control arousal levels
and
improve confidence
and
reduce reaction time.

Changes due to Neural control

Day 17 of Face February Fighting

 

WAT - fence fixing failed so had to do again! #rubbishatDIY

Neural control

Day 16 of Face February Fighting

NeuRal Control

 

3 Receptors

Baroreceptors     Chemorecpetors      Proprioreceptors

Detect changes in……………………………….

Increase in Blood pressure            

Chemical changes 

decrease in pH,

increase in CO², Lactic Acid    

 

Increase in movement

                              

They all inform either

CARDIAC CONTROL CENTRE            -    HEART!

RESPIRATORY CONTROL CENTRE    -    BREATHING!

WAT - fixed the fence. #nothappywithwind

 

 

Motion

Also linear can be striking a ball through its centre of mass.
Also angular can be striking a ball off centre of mass causing spin or swerve.

(Angular video)




WAT - 75.18mins. 2.9km.  Running the line in my lad's game this morning!!!!

Catastrophe Theory

Answers......

1. As arousal increases so does performance up to an optimal point
2. If aroual continues or gets too high.......
3. There is a sudden decrease in performance
4. High cognitive and somatic arousal
5. Body coordination is lost
6. So concentration is difficult and cant make correct decisions
7. If arousal can be lowered and emotions controlled you can get back on the upward curve
8. If arousal continues to increase then performance will worsen further

Background of the modern Olympics

Day 13 of Face February Fighting

Modern Olympics over 100 years old......

Baron Pierre de Coubertain was the founder of the modern Olympic movement.

He wanted to promote friendship and unity through sport.




He visited the Public Schools of England (Rugby school) and was impressed with what he saw.

He also visited the Cotswold Games and the Dover Games.

Also the Much Wenlock Olympics with Dr Penny Brookes.

First Olympics in Athens 1896 and were strictly amateur





WAT - Cricket Net   60mins          #hellomiddleofbat

Stroke Volume

Day 12 of "Face February Fighting"

Stroke Volume

• What is it?

 
The volume of blood ejected by the heart ventricle(s) per beat.

• How is it measured?

In ml -
an average value at rest is between 60ml and 90ml
a maximal value would be between 120ml - 200ml.

• What changes take place from rest to max?

SV increases
SV plateau's during sub max work
SV decreases at very high intensity exercise because HR is too high for ventricles to fill fully

WAT - focussed on psychomotor abilites to help for a fine motor skill.  Playing the piano!
(see email for evidence)

Venous Return and its affects on performance

Day 11 of "Face February Fighting"

What is venous return.............?
            Blood   back (to heart)


4 methods.......

1. Skeletal Muscle Pump
2. Respiratory Muscle Pump




3. Valves in Veins to prevent backflow


4. Gravity helps in veins above the heart.



How does it affect performance?????

Well.......

Stroke volume is dependent on Venous return
so.......an increase in VR will increase SV.

It doesnt take....

to work out that

Cardiac Output = SV x HR

So any increase in SV will have to increase Cardiac Output.
Similiarly with any increase in HR too!!!!

HR increases due to the SA node firing more because of the stretch of the atrial wall with the increase in VR.

If the atrial walls are stretched more then so will the ventricle walls so more blood is pumped out per beat............. SV!!!!!!!
 WAT - 40mins Dodgeball with y10!!!

Perceptual Mechanism - Info Proc

Day 10 of "Face February Fighting"

How does the perceptual mechanism affect performance?

Perceptual is making sense and judging the environment. 
Good perception enhances performance.

why?????

You can selectively attend to the relevent stimuli so you can react more quickly.   You can decode information and select the appropriate motor programme from LTM.  Also you can use schema theory effectively.

WAT - 60mins Hockey practice

Not as cold this week, definately a defender!!!

Physical Activity recommendations

Day 9 of “Face February Fighting”

What are the activity recommendations for a BAHL?

Adults
5x30mins per week
Moderate, sub max level - can speak whilst exercising

Children
7x60mins per week (60mins per day)
2 of which should be high impact activties like skipping/jogging.

WAT
32mins bike ride - no photo, mapmyrun decided not to bother! So slightly muddy leg instead.

Sportsmanship/Gamesmanship/

Day 8 of “Face February Fighting”

Lets use the KISS principle.
Keep It Simple Sausage

Sportsmanship
Fair play - playing to the written and unwritten rules.

(todays hockey match - putting your hand up when it hits your foot)

Gamesmanship
Bending the rules to gain an unfair advantage

(todays hockey match - me running in a way that meant some poor soul bounced off me!!)

WAT - 70mins. Lost 3-1 gutted!!!

Anticipation

Day 5 of "Face February Fighting"

Anticipation

This is the ability to predict future events from early signals or past experience.

Anticipation relies on experience to recognise stimuli that allow the performer to process information before an event occurs. For example an experienced batsman (autonomous) may be able to predict the bowler’s delivery by watching their hand and arm action, whereas a novice (cognitive) would have to watch the ball bounce before deciding which shot to play.

Correct anticipation should reduce response time.

Incorrect anticipation will lead to increased response time

Spatital Anticipation is predicting what will happen

Temporal Anticipation is predicting when it will happen

A combination of the two is perfect for an open skill situations.

Performers can prevent opponents anticipating their action by being unpredictable (using a dodge or dummy to confuse opponent), randomising actions (using different shots or passes to remain unpredictable) and by disguising actions (pretending to take a shot before passing).

WAT

Bad planning left no time available.  Lesson needs learning. Poor planning, poor performance.
