Sample cards from this deck

1. Key fact

   Aerobic energy system: WACE Physical Education Studies Unit 3

   Tell me about Rate and yield

   The rate of ATP resupply is the slowest of the three systems, because the process is long and depends on oxygen delivery by the heart, lungs and blood. The trade off is an enormous yield: complete breakdown of glucose releases many times more ATP than glycolysis alone, and fat yields more again.

2. Key fact

   Advanced training and recovery: WACE Year 12 Physical Education Studies Unit 4

   Tell me about Advanced training methods

   Plyometric training uses rapid eccentric-then-concentric muscle actions (the stretch-shortening cycle), such as depth jumps and bounding, to develop muscular power and is specific to explosive sports. Resistance and strength training is periodised through hypertrophy, maximal strength and power phases.

3. Key fact

   Anaerobic glycolytic energy system: WACE Physical Education Studies Unit 3

   Tell me about Rate and yield

   The rate of ATP resupply is fast, slower than the ATP-PC system but much faster than the aerobic system, which makes it well suited to high intensity work that lasts longer than a few seconds.

4. Key fact

   Skill under pressure and decision making: WACE Year 12 Physical Education Studies Unit 4

   Tell me about Information processing

   Information processing models describe performance as a flow from input to output. A simple model has three stages.

5. Key fact

   ATP-PC energy system: WACE Physical Education Studies Unit 3

   Tell me about Rate and yield

   Its weakness is its yield: the total amount of energy it can supply is very small, because phosphocreatine stores are limited. High power for a short time is the trade off.

6. Key fact

   Sociocultural influences on participation: WACE Year 12 Physical Education Studies Unit 4

   Tell me about Socialisation into sport

   Socialisation is the process by which people learn the attitudes, values and behaviours of their society, including those toward physical activity. Primary socialisation comes from significant others, especially family, who model and encourage (or discourage) activity early in life.

7. Key fact

   Biomechanics of movement: WACE Year 12 Physical Education Studies Unit 3

   Tell me about Force summation

   Force summation is the principle that maximum force is produced when as many body parts as possible are used, in the correct sequence and with correct timing.

8. Key fact

   Sport psychology: WACE Year 12 Physical Education Studies Unit 4

   Tell me about Anxiety

   Anxiety is the negative emotional response to a perceived threat, and it has distinct forms. Cognitive anxiety is the mental component (worry, negative thoughts, fear of failure).

9. Key fact

   Diet and nutrition for performance: WACE Physical Education Studies Unit 3

   Tell me about Carbohydrate

   Carbohydrate is the body's main fuel for moderate to high intensity exercise. It is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver and converted to glucose for energy.

10. Key fact

    Energy system interplay: WACE Physical Education Studies Unit 3

    Tell me about The systems work together

    At no point does only one energy system supply ATP. From the first second of exercise all three contribute, but their relative shares change.
