Sports Training Questions and Answers

Q: Calculate THR at 85% intensity for a 24 year old Kho-Kho player whose RHR is 64 bpm and who wants to perform 20 min. aerobic activity :

The target heart rate is 176.2 bpm.Use the Karvonen (heart rate reserve) method.\[ \begin{aligned} HR_{max} &= 220 - 24 = 196 \\ HRR &= 196 - 64 = 132 \\ THR &= 0.85 \times 132 + 64 \\ &= 112.2 + 64 = 176.2 \end{aligned} \]So the player should work at about 176 beats per minute.The other values do not follow from these data. Taking 85 percent of the maximum heart rate alone, which ignores the resting heart rate, would give 166.6, and 175.2 and 177.2 are one beat away from the correct result.

Q: ............... are the plans prepare in advance of a competition, which will place an individual or team in a winning position.

They are strategies.In training theory, a strategy is the overall plan worked out before a competition, based on knowledge of one's own strengths and the opponent's weaknesses, to put an individual or team in a winning position.Tactics are the means of carrying out that plan during the contest, adjusted to the situation as it develops. Technique is the way a single skill is performed, and style is an individual's personal variation of a technique.

Q: To find and develop talent for high performance several years ahead in the future is the aim of ...................

It is the aim of the sports talent identification process.Talent identification is the process of finding young people with the potential to reach high performance, using tests of physique, physical ability, skill and psychological traits, and then developing them through long-term training. Because elite performance takes eight to ten years to build, talent must be found and developed several years ahead.The other options name organisations rather than the process, and no specific organisation, association or federation 'talent procedure' is the general term for it.

Q: The sum total of pre-requisites possessed by a person which will enable him to achieve high performance in a sport in future is ..............................

The sum total of these prerequisites is sport talent.In training theory, talent is defined as the sum of the prerequisites, physical, physiological, psychological and skill-related, that a person has, and that will allow him or her to reach high performance in a particular sport in future, given proper training.A competition is a contest, a camp is a period of organised training, and sport training is the process that develops talent. None of these is the set of qualities a person possesses.

Q: Main physical qualities required for 110 m hurdlers are ....................(I) Speed(II) Anaerobic power(III) Flexibility(IV) Muscular strengthCodes :

All four are needed, so the answer is (I), (II), (III) and (IV).The 110 m hurdles is a sprint over ten hurdles. It needs speed for the sprint between the hurdles; anaerobic power, since the race lasts about 13 to 15 seconds of maximal effort; flexibility, especially in the hips and hamstrings for the lead and trail legs over the 1.067 m hurdles; and muscular strength for a powerful drive and take-off.Leaving out any of the four omits a quality the event clearly depends on, so the shorter options are incomplete.

Q: The ability to use strength quickly to produce an explosive effort is ..................

It is muscular power.Power is the ability to exert force quickly: strength combined with speed. Jumping, throwing, sprint starts and spiking in volleyball all depend on it, and it is tested by the vertical jump or the standing broad jump.Agility is the ability to change direction quickly with control. Aerobic endurance is the ability to sustain work using oxygen over a long time, and anaerobic endurance is the ability to sustain high-intensity work without enough oxygen, neither of which is a single explosive effort.

Q: A period between macro cycles is ...................................

The period between macro-cycles is the transition period.A macro-cycle (a training year or season) is divided into a preparatory period, a competition period and a transition period. The transition period follows the competition season and leads into the next macro-cycle. It provides active rest and recovery, physically and mentally, while keeping a basic level of fitness.The training (preparatory) and competition periods lie within the macro-cycle, not between cycles, and a 'tactics period' is not part of periodisation.

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

In the third phase the aim is to achieve mastery over the technique.Technique training is described in three phases (Hardayal Singh's scheme, based on Meinel):Acquiring rough coordination: the learner can perform the movement in its basic form.Acquiring fine coordination: the movement becomes precise and economical.Stabilising the technique: mastery, so it holds up under fatigue and competition stress.Rough and fine coordination are the aims of the first and second phases. 'Skill conditioning' is not the name of a phase.

Q: Main consideration for effective periodization should be .........

The main consideration is Achievement of top form.Periodisation divides the training year into preparation, competition and transition periods so that the athlete reaches peak performance, top form, at the most important competitions. Matveyev and Bompa built their models around this aim: loads are built up and then reduced so that the athlete is at a peak at the right time.Skill development, tactical ability and creating a fitness base are all parts of the plan, especially in the preparation period, but they serve the overall goal of timing top form.

Q: Factors affecting the pace of recovery are :(I) Intensity and load volume(II) Health and Physical Fitness(III) Nutrition and Diet(IV) Sleep and rest.

All four factors apply, so the answer is (I), (II) (III) and (IV).How fast an athlete recovers depends on the training itself, since harder and longer loads need more recovery (I); on the athlete's health and fitness, since fitter athletes recover faster (II); on nutrition, especially replacing carbohydrate, protein and fluids (III); and on sleep and rest, when most repair and adaptation take place (IV).Any option that leaves one out is incomplete.

Calculate THR at 85% intensity for a 24 year old Kho-Kho player whose RHR is 64 bpm and who wants to perform 20 min. aerobic activity :

A.176.2 bpm
B.177.2 bpm
C.175.2 bpm
D.168.2 bpm

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: A

The target heart rate is 176.2 bpm.

Use the Karvonen (heart rate reserve) method.

\[ \begin{aligned} HR_{max} &= 220 - 24 = 196 \\ HRR &= 196 - 64 = 132 \\ THR &= 0.85 \times 132 + 64 \\ &= 112.2 + 64 = 176.2 \end{aligned} \]

So the player should work at about 176 beats per minute.

The other values do not follow from these data. Taking 85 percent of the maximum heart rate alone, which ignores the resting heart rate, would give 166.6, and 175.2 and 177.2 are one beat away from the correct result.
