questions.

1. what are some ethical considerations an athlete may consider?

[nancb10]

- Whether or not the drug/injection actually enhances performance
- If having an IV injection, may consider if continuing to compete will worsen injury
- Whether they will be a good role model
- Whether they gave their full consent when taking drug/injection
etc etc 

[Vadnal]

level playing field.. how much of an athletes performance is down to ability as opposed to scientist working in the lab, you can tailor answers off those.

will we need to know specific details of programs such as "Go For Your Life"?

Not specific details about the program, but it won't hurt to have knowledge of certain settings-based approaches to use in your answer.

Giving examples such as this or the "Premiers Family Challenge" would show the examiner your content knowledge and give it more depth which is always a good thing. Could be the difference between getting only 2 out of 3 for a question and full marks.

User explaoin about the premiers faamily challenge

[user001]

The Premiers Active Family Challenge? Was a competition for families to be active for 30 minutes everyday, together, back in 2008. Was a "Go For Your Life" initiative to help promote family time being spent actively rather then watching tv, playing computer games etc.

Could someone please tell me the strategies people would use to help move them into the next stage of motivational readiness in both preparation and contemplation stages?

Oh and what's running economy (in reference to 2009 exam, answer to 2b)

[ohmyjosh]

Running economy is how efficient ones biomechanism is when one is running.

This takes into account stride length and stride frequency that would generally make up ones running economy and hence would contribute to a greater speed.

Strategies:

For Contemplation you need cognitive strategies such as explaining to them the benefits of having a healthy and active lifestyle, warning them about the health hazards that inactivity can bring about when continued, etc etc

For Preparation you need behavioral strategies such as setting up a reminder system, having a contract with the subject, enlisting social support(ask sister to accompany him/her), having a rewards system, etc etc

They rely on cognitive stragtgies such as
Caring about consequences to others, increasing knowledge, comprehening benefits and being aware of risks. Cognitive strategies are vital during stages1 and 2 while behavioural strategies are crucial during theaction to maintenance stage

Alright now is the beep test an indirect/submaximal test or an indirect/maximal test?
I went for the former and got it wrong on a prac exam.

Also with a training program why would one reduce te rest time from for use of the lactic acid system if it was 70 seconds for ATP-PC? Would it be about 40 seconds?

[ohmyjosh]

according to our teacher you can't really test 'maximal' if its indirect.

our teacher told us to consider the word 'maximal' in maximal test as 'max capability' because if we test using an indirect method - ie beep test, it would not measure the maximal capability of a person where as a direct test - ie VO2 max treadmill test, would test ones 'max capability' and hence a more accurate Vo2 max reading.
