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.

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.

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.
