28. EXTENSION ANSWERS
Balance, coordination, reaction time, agility, power.
Isometric contractions are needed for static strength while dynamic & explosive strength require isotonic contractions.
Muscles get weaker, bones get lighter, heart rate decreases, joints stiffen, movement is slower, body fat increases
If you have high VO2 Max. You can use more oxygen than others which means you have greater stamina, can work for longer & don’t suffer from fatigue as much as others.
Isokinetic contractions take place at a constant speed. This can only be done with specialist machinery that can control our movement. This machinery is expensive & is usually used during injury rehabilitation. Otherwise this kind of contraction doesn’t occur in sports.

29. EXAM ANSWERS
Stamina of the heart. Its ability to work without getting tired.
The range of movement around a joint.
Physical activity requires movement therefore rely on muscles. A mesomorph has an advantage by having greater strength, speed & stamina due to greater force potential. A lack of fat gives greater effciency of movement & use of energy e.g a gymnast or a sprinter.
Endurance.
Long distance running/ swimming (any sport /physical activity that is of long duration & steady state.)
Events requiring speed & power need a muscular physique (mesomorph) as quick & powerful movement will be most efficient with muscles. Gymnasts have lean muscular bodies to cope with the demands of the sport. Ectomorphs tend to be very lean enabling them to be highly efficient as they carry little weight which helps with stamina like a long distance runner. Endomorphs carry a lot of weight generally for short duration strength type sports like sumo wrestling/ shot putting/ power lifting.
Start slowly,don’t do too much, warm up & cool down, if you feel sick or dizzy stop, build up gradually & get plenty of rest between exercises & sessions.
Speed, stamina, suppleness, somatotype.
Strength used to keep us moving over long periods. Swimming, running, cycling (any sport/physical activity that requires constant movement.)
Somatotype/body composition/body build - body type, size, composition.
Ectomorph & endomorph
Skin fold calliper test. Monitor the % of body fat for performance & check muscle to weight ratio.
Stamina, suppleness, strength, somatotype.
Sprinting, boxing, football ( any sport requiring quick movement)

30. MORE EXAM ANSWERS
Muscles get weaker, bones get lighter, heart rate decreases, joints stiffen, slower movement & increased body fat.
Holding a handstand, balancing on 1 foot, the point before a scrum is contested, holding a bow drawn before arrow release, aiming a rifle while shooting (any other relevant examples)
The ability of muscles to continue to work without getting tired. Working a muscle continuously for long periods with little rest.
The body’s ability to cope with everyday activity without getting too tired with enough energy left over for emergencies.
Poor diet, lack of exercise, drug taking, the environment.
Injury, sickness, overtraining, exhaustion, overheating, death.
Isometric contractions use static strength while isotonic contractions use dynamic strength.
Dynamic, static & explosive.
Slow movement, less concentration, pain & a drop in performance.
Cardio-vascular endurance as you have to provide oxygen to working muscles for long periods of time. The better this is the better performance as maximum heart rate is reached later therefore anaerobic threshold reached later & fatigue held at bay for longer. Muscular endurance as they work continuously for long periods of time. The more efficient they are at using energy the more is conserved so muscular contractions will continue for longer before fatigue sets in.
Males are 50 % stronger due to testosterone therefore better at weight lifting. They are better at carrying oxygen therefore better times in long distance running. A narrower pelvis in men with longer bones & muscles generate more force & speed e.g sprinting. Females are more flexible which is more suited for floor/beam exercises in gymnastics.
Football (anything that needs the ability to turn quickly)
Sight, sound & touch.
To be able to respond to a stimulus quickly e.g goalkeeper making a save, boxer moving away from a punch & a sprinter reacting to the start pistol.

31. EVEN MORE ANSWERS Mesomorph, endomorph. Heart , lungs.
Running, cycling & swimming.
Mesomorph - little fat, lots of muscle which is good for strength, speed & power. Ectomorph - thin & light weight, narrow good for stamina events. Endomorph - large body, weight which is good for strength & power events.
Flexibility/ mobility.
Length of muscle, gender, warmth of muscle, injury.
The ability to maintain equilibrium whilst static/moving e.g holding as handstand in gymnastics, staying upright whilst running with a football in varying directions, staying upright on a moving skateboard/ surf board.
Static, dynamic & explosive.
Stress is mental pressure which can cause tension or a lack of concentration/ nerves causing mistakes.
Tiredness.
Cardio respiratory & muscular.
