1. The Skeletal System and Joints | 骨骼系统与关节
The human skeleton consists of 206 bones divided into the axial and appendicular skeleton. Bones serve five primary functions: protection of vital organs, support for soft tissues, movement through lever action, mineral storage such as calcium, and blood cell production within bone marrow. Understanding the classification of bones (long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid) helps explain their role in force transmission and joint articulation.
人体骨骼由206块骨组成,分为中轴骨和附肢骨。骨骼具有五大功能:保护重要器官、支撑软组织、通过杠杆作用产生运动、储存钙等矿物质,以及在骨髓中生成血细胞。了解骨骼的分类(长骨、短骨、扁骨、不规则骨、籽骨)有助于解释其在力量传递和关节连接中的作用。
Joints are classified structurally as fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial. In sport, synovial joints are most significant because they allow a wide range of movement. A synovial joint has articular cartilage, a joint capsule, synovial fluid, ligaments and bursae. Movements available include flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, pronation and supination.
关节在结构上分为纤维关节、软骨关节和滑膜关节。体育活动中滑膜关节最重要,因为它允许大幅度活动。滑膜关节包含关节软骨、关节囊、滑液、韧带和滑囊。可产生的动作包括屈、伸、外展、内收、旋转、环转、跖屈、背屈、旋前和旋后。
Knowledge of joint actions is essential for movement analysis. For example, the elbow is a hinge joint permitting flexion and extension, while the hip and shoulder are ball-and-socket joints that permit multi-axial movement. Correct technique in performance often depends on utilising the appropriate range and plane of motion at each joint.
关节动作的知识对于动作分析必不可少。例如,肘关节是屈戍关节,只允许屈伸;髋关节和肩关节是球窝关节,允许多轴运动。技术动作的正确完成往往取决于在各关节适当的活动范围和平面内运动。
2. The Muscular System and Movement | 肌肉系统与运动
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons and cause movement by contracting across joints. Muscles can only pull, never push, so they work in pairs or groups. The main pairings are agonist (prime mover), antagonist (relaxing muscle), synergist (helper) and fixator (stabiliser). The sliding filament theory explains how actin and myosin filaments slide past each other to shorten the sarcomere, requiring calcium ions and ATP.
骨骼肌通过肌腱附着在骨骼上,收缩时跨过关节产生运动。肌肉只能拉不能推,因此它们成对或成组工作。主要角色包括主动肌(原动肌)、拮抗肌(放松的肌肉)、协同肌(辅助肌)和固定肌(稳定肌)。肌丝滑动学说解释了肌动蛋白与肌球蛋白丝如何相互滑行使肌节缩短,此过程需要钙离子和ATP。
Types of muscle contraction include isotonic (concentric – shortening under tension, eccentric – lengthening under tension) and isometric (tension with no visible movement). Exercise produces delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), often after eccentric work. Neuromuscular control relies on motor units, where a single motor neuron and all the muscle fibres it innervates form a functional unit. The all-or-none law states that when stimulated, all fibres in a motor unit contract fully or not at all.
肌肉收缩类型包括等张收缩(向心收缩——肌肉缩短产生张力,离心收缩——肌肉在张力下被拉长)和等长收缩(产生张力但无可见运动)。运动后尤其在离心活动后会产生延迟性肌肉酸痛。神经肌肉控制依赖运动单位,即一个运动神经元及其支配的全部肌纤维组成功能单位。全或无定律表明,一个运动单位受刺激时,其所有肌纤维要么全部收缩,要么完全不收缩。
3. The Cardiovascular System and Exercise | 心血管系统与运动
The cardiovascular system comprises the heart, blood vessels and blood. Cardiac output (Q) is the volume of blood pumped per minute and is determined by stroke volume (SV) × heart rate (HR). During exercise, Q increases to meet the oxygen demands of working muscles. At rest, Q is around 5 L/min, while in an elite endurance athlete it may exceed 35 L/min during maximal exercise.
心血管系统由心脏、血管和血液组成。心输出量(Q)指每分钟泵出的血量,由每搏输出量(SV) × 心率(HR)决定。运动时Q升高以满足工作肌的氧需求。安静时Q约5升/分钟,而顶尖耐力运动员在极限运动时Q可超过35升/分钟。
Heart rate increases linearly with intensity until maximal HR is reached (approximately 220 minus age). Stroke volume increases with exercise intensity up to around 40-60 % of VO₂ max, then plateaus owing to reduced ventricular filling time. Venous return mechanisms – skeletal muscle pump, respiratory pump, one-way venous valves and smooth muscle contraction – help maintain end-diastolic volume. The hormonal regulation of arterial-venous oxygen difference (a-vO₂ diff) also improves with training.
心率随强度线性上升,直至达到最大心率(约220-年龄)。每搏输出量随运动强度增加而上升,约在40-60%VO₂ max时达到平台,原因是心室充盈时间缩短。静脉回流机制——骨骼肌泵、呼吸泵、静脉瓣和平滑肌收缩——帮助维持舒张末期容积。动静脉氧差(a-vO₂差)的激素调节也会随训练改善。
Red blood cells contain haemoglobin that transports O₂ and some CO₂. The Bohr effect describes how increased acidity and temperature in active tissues reduce haemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen, promoting O₂ offloading. Effective oxygen transport relies on a haematocrit within normal ranges and sufficient iron stores.
红细胞含有血红蛋白,可运输O₂和部分CO₂。波尔效应描述了活动组织中升高的酸度和温度如何降低血红蛋白对氧的亲和力,从而促进氧的释放。有效的氧运输需要红细胞比容在正常范围和充足的铁储备。
4. The Respiratory System and Gas Exchange | 呼吸系统与气体交换
The respiratory system provides for pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange and removal of carbon dioxide. Minute ventilation (VE) = tidal volume (TV) × breathing frequency (f). During exercise, TV uses inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes to increase, alongside f. At rest TV ≈ 0.5 L, but at maximal exercise TV in a trained individual may approach the vital capacity (VC).
呼吸系统负责肺通气、气体交换和二氧化碳的排出。每分通气量(VE) = 潮气量(TV) × 呼吸频率(f)。运动时,潮气量利用吸气储备量和呼气储备量而增大,f也增加。安静时TV约0.5升,而训练者极限运动时TV可能接近肺活量(VC)。
Gas exchange at the alveoli and muscle tissue level depends on partial pressure gradients. O₂ diffuses from a higher po₂ in alveoli (100 mmHg) into deoxygenated blood (40 mmHg), while CO₂ follows its gradient into the lungs. At the muscle, O₂ dissociates from haemoglobin due to the lower po₂ and higher temperature, enhanced by the Bohr shift. The oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve shifts rightward during exercise, indicating decreased affinity and increased O₂ delivery.
肺泡和肌肉组织处的气体交换依赖于分压梯度。O₂从肺泡较高的po₂(100 mmHg)向缺氧血(40 mmHg)扩散,CO₂则沿梯度进入肺。在肌肉处,因为较低的po₂和较高的温度,O₂从血红蛋白解离,波尔位移使其加强。运动时氧合血红蛋白解离曲线右移,表示亲和力降低而氧供增加。
Structures involved include the alveoli, surrounded by pulmonary capillaries, with one cell thick walls for efficient diffusion. Surfactant reduces surface tension to prevent alveolar collapse. Control of breathing comes from the respiratory centre in the medulla oblongata, influenced by chemoreceptors detecting changes in CO₂, O₂ and pH.
相关结构包括被肺毛细血管包围的肺泡,其壁只有一层细胞厚,有利于高效扩散。表面活性物质降低表面张力以防止肺泡塌陷。呼吸控制来自延髓的呼吸中枢,受化学感受器检测CO₂、O₂和pH变化的调节。
5. Energy Systems and ATP Resynthesis | 能量系统与ATP再合成
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the immediate energy currency for muscle contraction. Since stores are limited, ATP must be continually resynthesised through three energy systems: the ATP-PC system, the glycolytic (lactic acid) system and the aerobic system. The intensity and duration of exercise determine the predominant energy pathway.
三磷酸腺苷(ATP)是肌肉收缩的直接能量货币。因其储量有限,ATP必须通过三个能量系统不断再合成:ATP-PC系统、糖酵解(乳酸)系统以及有氧系统。运动强度和持续时间决定了主导供能途径。
| Energy System | Fuel | Duration | By-products | Example Activity |
| ATP-PC (Alactic) System | Phosphocreatine stored in muscles | Up to 8–10 seconds of maximum effort | No O₂; no lactic acid; forms creatine and Pi | 100 m sprint, shot put |
| Glycolytic (Lactic Acid) System | Glucose from glycogen stores | 10 seconds – 3 minutes at high intensity | Lactic acid (lactate + H⁺) | 400 m run, 100 m swim |
| Aerobic System | Carbohydrates and fats (protein sparingly) | 3 minutes + (virtually unlimited at submaximal pace) | CO₂ and H₂O | Marathon, long-distance cycling |
The energy continuum describes how all three systems contribute at any given time, but the proportion shifts. Recovery processes include restoration of phosphocreatine stores (50 % in 30 seconds, full in 3–5 minutes), removal of hydrogen ions and lactate (buffering and oxidation), and replenishment of glycogen via dietary carbohydrates. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) represents the elevated O₂ uptake after exercise to restore the body to its resting state.
能量连续体描述了三个系统在任何时刻均同时供能,但比例会变化。恢复过程包括磷酸肌酸储备的恢复(30秒恢复50%,3–5分钟完全恢复)、氢离子和乳酸的清除(缓冲和氧化)以及通过饮食碳水化合物补充糖原。运动后过量氧耗(EPOC)代表运动后氧摄取升高以使身体恢复到安静状态。
6. Biomechanical Principles: Levers and Planes | 生物力学原理:杠杆与平面
Levers in the human body consist of a bone acting as the lever arm, a joint as the fulcrum, muscular force as effort and the weight or resistance as the load. There are three classes of levers, classified by the relative positions of effort, fulcrum and load (FLE or 123 principle). In sport, first-class levers (e.g. neck extension, nodding) have the fulcrum between effort and load. Second-class levers (e.g. calf raise, ankle plantar flexion) have the load between fulcrum and effort, providing mechanical advantage. Third-class levers (e.g. biceps curl) have effort between fulcrum and load, offering speed and range of motion at the expense of force.
人体中的杠杆由骨作为杠杆臂、关节作为支点、肌肉力作为施力以及重量或阻力作为负荷构成。根据施力、支点和负荷的相对位置,杠杆分为三类(FLE或123原则)。在运动中,第一类杠杆(如颈后伸)的支点在施力和负荷之间。第二类杠杆(如提踵,踝跖屈)的负荷在支点和施力之间,提供机械利益。第三类杠杆(如肱二头肌弯举)的施力在支点和负荷之间,尽管力量较小,但能提供速度和活动范围。
Planes of movement and their corresponding axes are crucial for movement analysis. The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right; movements occur around a frontal (mediolateral) axis, such as running and bicep curls. The frontal plane divides body into front and back; movements around a sagittal (anteroposterior) axis include cartwheels and lateral arm raises. The transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom; rotations occur around a longitudinal axis, e.g. a full turn in dance or discus spin.
运动平面及相应的轴对动作分析至关重要。矢状面将身体分为左右两部分,运动绕额状轴(内外轴)发生,如跑步和肱二头肌弯举。额状面将身体分为前后两部分,运动绕矢状轴(前后轴)进行,如侧手翻和侧平举。横切面将身体分为上下两部分,旋转绕纵轴发生,如舞蹈中的转体或铁饼旋转。
7. Classification of Motor Skills | 运动技能的分类
Motor skills are commonly classified along continua to reflect the environmental predictability, precision, whether there is a clear beginning and end, and pacing. An open skill is performed in an unpredictable, changing environment where the performer must adapt (e.g. football tackle). A closed skill occurs in a stable, predictable setting (e.g. gymnastics vault). The gross–fine continuum describes the degree of muscular involvement; gross skills involve large muscle groups (e.g. sprinting), while fine skills use smaller groups for precision (e.g. snooker shot).
运动技能通常按连续体分类,反映环境可预测性、精准程度、技能是否有明确的开始和结束以及节奏情况。开放性技能在不可预测、变化的环境中执行,需要运动员不断适应(如足球抢断)。闭锁性技能在稳定、可预测的环境中进行(如体操跳马)。粗大—精细连续体描述肌肉参与的程度;粗大技能涉及大肌肉群(如短跑),精细技能则运用小肌肉群以实现精准(如斯诺克击球)。
Skills are also classified as discrete, serial or continuous. A discrete skill has a clear beginning and end (e.g. throwing a dart). A serial skill is a sequence of discrete actions strung together (e.g. a gymnastics routine). A continuous skill has no obvious beginning or end and flow over time (e.g. running). The pacing continuum ranges from self-paced, where the performer controls timing, to externally-paced, where external factors dictate the start or rhythm (start gun, opponent).
技能也可分为分立技能、序列技能和连续技能。分立技能有明确的开始和结束(如投掷飞镖)。序列技能是由一连串分立动作组成的序列(如体操套路)。连续技能没有明显的起点和终点,持续流动(如跑步)。节奏连续体从自定节奏(由运动员控制时机)到外部定节奏(外部因素如发令枪、对手决定开始和节奏)。
8. Information Processing Model and Memory | 信息处理模型与记忆
The brain processes information to select and produce motor responses. Welford’s model (1968) depicts input from the environment perceived via sense organs, then a perceptual mechanism that recognises and interprets stimuli, a decision-making mechanism that selects a response, and an effector mechanism that organises the motor programme. Whiting’s model (1969) adds translational mechanisms and feedback loops, emphasising that output is compared with the intended goal.
大脑处理信息以选择和产生动作反应。Welford(1968)的模型描述了从环境通过感觉器官获得输入,然后经过感知机制识别和解释刺激,决策机制选择反应,效应器机制组织运动程序。Whiting(1969)的模型增加了转译机制和反馈环路,强调输出会与预期目标进行比较。
Memory plays a vital role in learning and performance. The three-stage memory system includes: the short-term sensory store (STSS) which holds vast sensory information for less than a second; short-term memory (STM) with a limited capacity of about 7 ± 2 items for up to 30 seconds, maintained by rehearsal; and long-term memory (LTM) with unlimited capacity, storing motor programmes, schemas and episodic memories. Encoding involves attention and meaningful association, while retrieval can be enhanced by matching practice conditions.
记忆在学习和表现中至关重要。三阶段记忆系统包括:短时感觉储存(STSS)在不到一秒内保留大量感觉信息;短时记忆(STM)容量有限,约7 ± 2个组块,约30秒,靠复述维持;长时记忆(LTM)容量无限,存储运动程序、图式和情景记忆。编码需要注意力和有意义的联系,而提取可通过匹配练习条件来增强。
Reaction time, movement time and response time are key concepts. Simple reaction time involves one stimulus and one response; choice reaction time requires selecting from several stimuli and responses, increasing with options. Hick’s law predicts that reaction time increases logarithmically as the number of choices rises. The psychological refractory period (PRP) explains the delay when two stimuli are presented close together, relevant for feints in sport.
反应时、动作时和响应时是关键概念。简单反应时涉及一个刺激和一个反应;选择反应时需从多个刺激与反应中抉择,选项越多费时越长。Hick定律预测,反应时随选择数增加呈对数上升。心理不应期(PRP)解释了当两个刺激紧密接连出现时产生的延迟,这一现象与体育运动中的假动作密切相关。
9. Feedback and Guidance in Learning | 学习中的反馈与指导
Feedback is information the performer receives about the outcome or quality of a movement. Intrinsic feedback comes from internal sensory sources (proprioception and kinaesthesis). Extrinsic (augmented) feedback comes from external sources, such as a coach or video. Knowledge of results (KR) tells the performer the outcome (e.g. the score), while knowledge of performance (KP) provides information about the movement pattern and quality.
反馈是运动员接收的关于动作结果或质量的信息。固有反馈来自内部感觉源(本体感觉和动觉)。外在(增强)反馈来自外部,如教练或视频。结果认知(KR)告知运动员结果(如得分),而表现认知(KP)提供有关动作模式和质量的资讯。
Feedback can be concurrent (given during performance) or terminal (after the event). Its effectiveness depends on timing, precision, and the stage of learning. In the cognitive stage, positive and extrinsic feedback helps build mental models; in the associative stage, more intrinsic and detailed KP is useful; in the autonomous stage, the performer relies heavily on intrinsic feedback and can self-correct.
反馈可以是同步(运动中给予)或终末(事件之后)的。其效果取决于时机、精确性和学习阶段。在认知阶段,积极和外在反馈有助于构建心理模型;联结阶段中,更内在和详细的KP更有用;在自主阶段,运动员大量依赖固有反馈并能自我纠错。
Guidance methods include visual (demonstration), verbal (instructions), manual (physical support) and mechanical (using apparatus). Visual guidance is powerful for creating a mental image, especially when combined with verbal cues (dual coding). Manual and mechanical guidance are useful in early learning to reduce fear and shape correct kinaesthetic patterns, but they should be faded to avoid dependence.
指导方法包括视觉(示范)、言语(指示)、手动(身体扶持)和机械(使用器械)。视觉指导对于建立心象十分有效,尤其与语言线索结合时(双编码)。手动和机械指导在学习初期有助于减少恐惧和塑造正确的动觉模式,但应逐渐减少以免形成依赖。
10. Sport Psychology: Arousal and Anxiety | 运动心理学:唤醒与焦虑
Arousal refers to the physiological and psychological activation of an individual, ranging from deep sleep to intense excitement. The drive theory proposes a linear relationship between arousal and performance (P = H × D), but it does not account for the decline in performance at very high arousal. The inverted-U hypothesis states that optimal performance occurs at a moderate level of arousal, and the optimal level varies with skill complexity and the performer’s experience.
唤醒是指个体生理和心理的激活程度,从深度睡眠到极度兴奋。驱力理论提出唤醒与表现呈线性关系(P = H × D),但无法解释过高唤醒时表现的下降。倒U形假说指出,最佳表现出现在中等唤醒水平,且最佳水平因技能复杂度和运动员经验而异。
Anxiety is a negative emotional state with feelings of nervousness and worry, often linked to an elevated arousal level. It can be state anxiety (situational) or trait anxiety (personality-based). Cognitive anxiety is the mental component (worry, negative self-talk), while somatic anxiety is the physiological response (sweating, increased HR). The catastrophe theory suggests that when cognitive anxiety is high, arousal can cause a dramatic, non-linear fall in performance, unlike the gradual drop predicted by the inverted-U.
焦虑是一种消极的情绪状态,伴随紧张和担忧感,常与唤醒水平升高相关。可分为状态焦虑(情境性)和特质焦虑(人格化)。认知焦虑是心理成分(担忧、消极自我暗示),躯体焦虑则是生理反应(出汗、心率增快)。灾变理论指出,当认知焦虑很高时,唤醒可导致表现急剧而非线性下降,不同于倒U形的平缓下降。
11. Emergence of Modern Sport (Pre-industrial/Post-industrial Britain) | 现代体育的兴起(前工业/后工业时期)
In pre-industrial Britain (before around 1780), recreational activities were determined by a feudal system where the aristocracy engaged in refined sports (real tennis, fox hunting) as part of their cultural distinction. The peasants participated in mob football, wrestling and animal sports, often linked to religious festivals and local customs. Sports were localised with simple, often unwritten rules, limited structure, and were characterised by occasional brutality and heavy wagering.
在前工业化时期的英国(约1780年以前),休闲活动由封建制度决定,贵族从事优雅运动(室内网球、猎狐)以彰显文化区分。农民参与暴徒足球、摔跤和动物竞技,通常与宗教节日和本地习俗相关。体育活动具有本地化特点,规则简单且多为口头约定,结构松散,并常有残酷性和大量赌博的特征。
The Industrial Revolution (late 18th–19th century) brought profound changes. Urbanisation limited space, factory life imposed time constraints and the new middle class promoted rational recreation and muscular Christianity. The public schools (e.g. Rugby, Eton) played a transformative role in codifying rules, developing the house system and cultivating leadership through sports. The ideal of ‘fair play’ and amateurism was promoted by the middle and upper classes, while working-class participation was channelled into spectating and professional leagues like the Football League (1888).
工业革命(18世纪末至19世纪)带来了深刻变化。城市化使空间受限,工厂生活强加时间约束,而新兴中产阶级推广理性休闲和强身基督教。公学(如拉格比、伊顿)在规则编撰、宿舍制度发展和通过体育培养领导力方面扮演变革性角色。中上层阶级提倡“公平竞争”和业余主义,而工人阶级参与被引导至观赏比赛和职业联赛,如1888年成立的足球联赛。
The codification and spread of sports such as football, rugby, cricket and athletics were driven by the need for standardised inter-house and inter-school competition. National governing bodies were established (e.g. the Football Association in 1863), which standardised rules and enabled regular competitions, laying the foundation for modern sport.
足球、橄榄球、板球和田径等运动项目的规则编撰和传播,由学院间和学校间标准化比赛的需求推动。国家管理机构陆续成立(如1863年成立足球协会),统一了规则并使定期比赛成为可能,奠定了现代体育的基础。
12. Globalisation and the Olympic Games | 全球化与奥运会
Globalisation in sport refers to the increasing interconnection of economies, cultures and political structures through sport worldwide. It involves the movement of athletes, media, sponsors and kit manufacturing across borders. Factors driving globalisation include the growth of transnational corporations (Nike, Adidas), satellite broadcasting, international governing bodies and the host city model of mega-events like the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup.
体育全球化指体育推动全球范围内经济、文化和政治结构日益互联。它涉及运动员、媒体、赞助商和装备制造的跨国流动。推动全球化的因素包括跨国公司的兴起(耐克、阿迪达斯)、卫星转播、国际管理机构以及奥运会和世界杯等大型赛事的举办城市模式。
The modern Olympic Games, revived by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1896, embody the globalisation of sport. They promote the ideals of Olympism – excellence, respect and friendship. However, globalisation has also led to debates about commercialisation, corruption, and cultural imperialism, where dominant Western sports marginalise indigenous activities. The use of the Olympics for political protest and boycotts (e.g. 1980 Moscow, 1984 Los Angeles) illustrates the complex link between sport and global politics.
现代奥运会由顾拜旦男爵于1896年恢复,成为体育全球化的缩影。它推广奥林匹克主义理念——卓越、尊重、友谊。然而,全球化也引发了关于商业化、腐败和文化帝国主义的争议,强势的西方体育使本土活动边缘化。奥运会作为政治抗议和抵制平台的使用(如1980年莫斯科、1984年洛杉矶)显示了体育与全球政治的复杂联系。
Socio-cultural implications for the UK include the use of sport to promote social inclusion and physical health, but also issues such as the cost of hosting events and the potential for positive and negative changes to national identity. The concept of ‘soft power’, where nations use sporting success to enhance their global image and diplomatic influence, is a frequent exam focus.
对英国而言,社会文化影响包括利用体育促进社会包容和身体健康,但也存在赛事举办成本以及国家认同可能发生积极和消极变化的问题。“软实力”概念——国家借助体育成功提升其全球形象和外交影响力——是考试中的常见焦点。
