Classification of Training Systems

Training systems are broadly categorized into natural systems and artificial (or structured) systems. Natural systems refer to those that occur organically in nature. Artificial systems, on the other hand, require specific characteristics, structured environments, and are often divided by various components or phases.

General Classification Adopted

The general classification we will adopt includes:

• Continuous Systems: Performed without pause.
• Fractional Systems: Characterized by dividing the training load into parts, separated by recovery breaks.
• Mixed Systems: Incorporate characteristics from both continuous and fractional approaches.

Continuous Systems

In principle, continuous system training is exemplified by continuous

Clearly different, with examples, the concepts of sensation and perception. Different types of sensation in terms of modality.

Perception is a more complex process than sensation. Sensation is merely a receptive process, the body's response to a stimulus. Perception is the degree of knowledge and sensory discrimination of those responses.

Through sensations, we get the sensory information needed to make adaptive responses compared to the surrounding world and about ourselves.

Explain the following concepts and/or terms:

Capacity for Symbolic Function: Representing something with symbols. The symbols are analytical and conventional signs.

Object Permanence: Ability to maintain an object in memory even if it is not present.

Synkinesias: Involuntary... Continue reading "Child Development: Sensation, Perception, Growth, and Learning" »

Resistance: The ability to sustain muscular effort for an extended period, delaying the onset of fatigue.

Oxygen Debt: The amount of oxygen that muscles should consume but haven't, directly related to the intensity and duration of exercise. Higher intensity and longer duration lead to greater oxygen consumption and debt.

Lactic Acid Concentration: Forms when there is an oxygen debt.

Ability to Absorb Oxygen: The capacity to breathe in, retain, and effectively utilize oxygen during muscular work.

Types of Resistance

1. Aerobic: Moderate intensity efforts of long duration, with a heart rate between 130 and 170 bpm. There is no significant oxygen debt.
2. Anaerobic: High-intensity efforts of short duration, with a heart rate exceeding 170 bpm, resulting in

Defining Physical Activity by Professional Role

For professionals in school education, the concept of physical activity is specific, incorporating technological purpose and various restrictions.

Physical education should provide a generic set of athletic skills. Students seek experience in a certain... Continue reading "Understanding Physical Activity Roles and Traditional Sport" »

What is Volleyball?

Volleyball is a team sport where two teams of six players each face off on a flat court, separated by a central net. The objective is to pass the ball over the net into the opponent's court.

When Was Volleyball Created?

Volleyball was created in 1895 in Massachusetts, USA.

Who Created Volleyball?

William G. Morgan created volleyball.

Why Was Volleyball Created?

Volleyball was created because Morgan wanted a sport that could be played indoors and incorporate movements similar to basketball, but with less physical contact.

Olympic Debut and World Championships

The Playing Field

The volleyball court is a rectangle 18 meters long by 9 meters wide, divided at its center by a net. The playing area extends into a free zone outside the court, provided the ball doesn't touch the ground or any other object. This free zone is at least 3 meters wide, but in international competitions, it's increased to 5 meters on the sidelines and 8 meters at the baselines. The free space above the court must be at least 7 meters, and up to 12.5 meters in international competitions.

A line 3 meters from the net in each court defines the attack zone, where actions are restricted for players in defensive roles (defenders and libero). These lines extend beyond the court with broken lines. All lines are 5 cm wide.

Players maintain... Continue reading "Volleyball: Court, Net, Ball, Attire, and Match Rules" »

Badminton Fundamentals

Game Objective

The objective in badminton is to make the shuttlecock touch the ground within the opponent's playing area or to make the opponent unable to return it legally over the net.

Court Dimensions and Zones

The standard badminton court measures 13.40 meters (44 feet) in length. For doubles matches, the width is 6.10 meters (20 feet), and for singles, it is 5.18 meters (17 feet). A net, standing 1.55 meters (5 feet 1 inch) high at the posts and 1.524 meters (5 feet) at the center, divides the court in the middle. Different playing zones are utilized depending on whether the match is singles or doubles.

Essential Equipment

The primary equipment required for playing badminton includes a racket and a shuttlecock (also known... Continue reading "Badminton Rules, Techniques, and Strategy Explained" »

Basic Volleyball Rules and Gameplay

Volleyball is a team sport that can be played both outdoors and indoors.

The Game

The ball is put into play through the service, which is not to touch the net but must pass between the rods and fall within the opponent's court. Upon completion of the service, each team can carry out a maximum of three hits. The first is called reception and is usually done with a forearm pass to the setter. The second is the placement, usually making a pass of fingers, and the third is the spike.

It is a foul if the team performs four hits (if the ball touches first on the block, you can still make three hits). Only the team that owns the service can score points. So, if you make a point without having the service, there is a... Continue reading "Volleyball: Rules, Techniques, and Positions" »
