The correct matching is (1)-(iv), (2)-(iii), (3)-(ii), (4)-(i).Weight training is high-intensity, short-duration work: an anaerobic workout (1-iv).Cardio work, such as running or cycling at steady pace, is aerobic (2-iii).A stretching workout can use PNF, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, a contract-relax stretching method (3-ii).Holding exercises such as the plank are isometric core exercises (4-i).The other codes misplace these, for example treating weight training as aerobic.

Sports Training Questions and Answers

Q: To develop strategies and tactics we need to know the ...................... .(i) Strength and weaknesses of the opposition(ii) Our own strength and weaknesses(iii) Environmental factors

All three are needed, so the answer is (i), (ii) and (iii).A strategy is the overall plan for a game and tactics are the specific actions used during it. To plan them, a coach must know the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents (to exploit or neutralise them), the team's own strengths and weaknesses (to play to them), and environmental factors such as the weather, the playing surface, the venue and the crowd.The options with only two items each leave out one of these considerations.

Q: The aim of technique training in the first phase of skill acquisition is ........................ .

In the first phase of skill acquisition the aim is to achieve rough coordination.Motor learning is described in phases: rough (gross) coordination, in which the learner gets the general idea and the movement is performed crudely with many errors; fine coordination, in which the movement becomes accurate and economical; and the stabilisation of fine coordination, in which the skill becomes automatic and can be used in varied conditions.Fine coordination and mastery belong to the later phases, and skill conditioning is part of advanced training, not the first phase.

Q: "You should exercise the energy systems, muscles, actions and skills that are relevant to that sport". ................... principal of training does this define.

The quotation defines the principle of specificity.The principle of specificity states that training adaptations are specific to the type of training done: the energy systems, muscles, movement patterns and skills that are exercised are the ones that improve. A sprinter therefore trains anaerobic speed, while a marathon runner trains aerobic endurance.Frequency is how often one trains, progression is gradually increasing the load, and reversibility is the loss of fitness when training stops. None of them is about matching training to the sport.

Q: Which one of the following best describes the plyometrics training method ?

Plyometric training involves mainly bounding and hopping.Plyometrics uses the stretch-shortening cycle: a rapid eccentric (stretching) phase is followed immediately by a powerful concentric contraction. Typical drills are bounding, hopping, depth jumps and box jumps, which develop explosive power for jumping, sprinting and throwing.Stretching develops flexibility, and continuous running and long-duration activities develop aerobic endurance. None of them uses the explosive stretch-shortening action that defines plyometrics.

Q: In selecting talent, the most important factor to be considered is .......................... .(i) Training state(ii) Health(iii) Interest and attitude(iv) Heredity

All four factors matter, so the answer is (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).Talent selection considers the athlete's present training state (and how much has been achieved with how much training), health (freedom from disease and injury), interest and attitude (motivation, which predicts persistence), and heredity (inherited traits such as body build, muscle fibre type and aerobic capacity, which largely set the limit of performance).Each option that omits one of these factors gives an incomplete basis for selecting talent.

Q: After acquiring mastery over skills, stress is laid on ........................ .

After mastery of skills, stress is laid on tactical training.Training proceeds from learning techniques to applying them. Once the skills are mastered and automatic, the athlete must learn when and how to use them against opponents in competition, which is the task of tactical training: reading the game, choosing actions and executing team plans.Technical preparation is what leads to mastery in the first place, so it comes before. Development of skill-related and health-related fitness components continues throughout, but it is not what follows skill mastery in particular.

Q: Aim of sport training......................(i) Physical fitness or conditioning(ii) Technical skill(iii) Tactical efficiency(iv) Education

All four are aims of sports training, so the answer is (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).Sports training aims to raise an athlete's performance through physical fitness or conditioning (strength, speed, endurance, flexibility and coordination), technical skill in the movements of the sport, and tactical efficiency in applying them in competition.Training is also an educational process: it develops discipline, willpower, character and the athlete's understanding of training, which is why textbooks of sports training list education among its aims. Leaving any of the four out makes the answer incomplete.

Q: Characteristic of sports training is.........................................

A characteristic of sports training is that it is planned and systematic.Sports training is a long-term pedagogical process aimed at high performance. It follows a plan, divided into periods and cycles, applies loads systematically according to principles such as progression and recovery, and is based on scientific knowledge.Demonstration is a teaching method used within training, and participation is something any activity involves. Doping, the use of banned substances, is prohibited in sport and is the opposite of a characteristic of proper training.

Q: Calculate the THR at 75% intensity for a 22 year old handball player whose RHR is 60 bpm and who wants to perform 30 min cardio activity.

The target heart rate is 163.5 bpm.The Karvonen formula uses the heart rate reserve, the difference between maximum and resting heart rate:\[ THR = (HR_{\max} - RHR) \times I + RHR \]\[ \begin{aligned} HR_{\max} &= 220 - 22 = 198 \\ HRR &= 198 - 60 = 138 \\ THR &= 138 \times 0.75 + 60 \\ &= 103.5 + 60 = 163.5 \end{aligned} \]None of the other options follows from the formula: taking 75 percent of the maximum heart rate alone gives 148.5, near option A, and the 30-minute duration does not enter the calculation.

Calculate the THR at 75% intensity for a 22 year old handball player whose RHR is 60 bpm and who wants to perform 30 min cardio activity.

A.150 bpm
B.163.5 bpm
C.161.5 bpm
D.159.5 bpm

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2020, SET Exam - 2020,

Answer: B

The target heart rate is 163.5 bpm.

The Karvonen formula uses the heart rate reserve, the difference between maximum and resting heart rate:

\[ THR = (HR_{\max} - RHR) \times I + RHR \]

\[ \begin{aligned} HR_{\max} &= 220 - 22 = 198 \\ HRR &= 198 - 60 = 138 \\ THR &= 138 \times 0.75 + 60 \\ &= 103.5 + 60 = 163.5 \end{aligned} \]

None of the other options follows from the formula: taking 75 percent of the maximum heart rate alone gives 148.5, near option A, and the 30-minute duration does not enter the calculation.
