1. Skeletal and Muscular Systems | 骨骼与肌肉系统
The skeleton provides support, protection, movement, mineral storage and blood cell production. Joints are classified as fibrous, cartilaginous or synovial; synovial joints (e.g. ball-and-socket, hinge) allow the greatest range of motion and are reinforced by ligaments and synovial fluid.
骨骼具有支持、保护、运动、矿物质储存和造血功能。关节分为纤维关节、软骨关节和滑膜关节;滑膜关节(如球窝关节、铰链关节)活动范围最大,由韧带和滑液加强。
Muscles produce movement via isotonic (concentric and eccentric), isometric or isokinetic contractions. The sliding filament theory explains how myosin cross-bridges pull actin filaments to shorten sarcomeres, powered by ATP hydrolysis.
肌肉通过等张(向心和离心)、等长或等动收缩产生运动。肌丝滑行学说解释肌球蛋白横桥如何拉动肌动蛋白丝使肌节缩短,由 ATP 水解提供能量。
Skeletal muscle fibres are categorised as Type I (slow twitch, high oxidative capacity, fatigue-resistant) and Type II (fast twitch). Type IIa fibres combine oxidative and glycolytic properties, while Type IIx fibres rely heavily on anaerobic glycolysis and fatigue quickly. Elite endurance athletes possess a high proportion of Type I fibres.
骨骼肌纤维分为 I 型(慢缩,高氧化能力,抗疲劳)和 II 型(快缩)。IIa 型兼具有氧和糖酵解特性,IIx 型高度依赖无氧糖酵解,易疲劳。优秀耐力运动员 I 型纤维比例高。
2. Cardiovascular System | 心血管系统
Heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (Q = HR × SV) increase during exercise to deliver oxygen to working muscles. Venous return is enhanced by the skeletal muscle pump, respiratory pump and venoconstriction, increasing end-diastolic volume and thus SV via Starling’s law.
运动时心率 (HR)、每搏输出量 (SV) 和心输出量 (Q = HR × SV) 增加,为肌肉供氧。骨骼肌泵、呼吸泵和静脉收缩增强静脉回流,增加舒张末期容积,通过 Starling 定律增大 SV。
The intrinsic conduction system initiates and coordinates cardiac contraction. During long-term aerobic training, resting HR decreases (bradycardia), SV increases due to hypertrophy, and maximal cardiac output rises, improving oxygen delivery and removal of metabolites.
心脏传导系统启动并协调心肌收缩。长期有氧训练使静息 HR 降低(心动过缓),心肌肥大使 SV 增大,最大心输出量提高,改善氧运输和代谢产物清除。
Blood pressure increases during dynamic exercise (systolic rises, diastolic relatively stable), aiding tissue perfusion. Redistribution of blood flow (vascular shunt) diverts blood from non-essential organs to active muscles through vasodilation and vasoconstriction.
运动时血压升高(收缩压上升,舒张压相对稳定),促进组织灌注。血液重新分配(血管分流)通过血管舒张和收缩,将血液从非必需器官转移至活动肌肉。
3. Respiratory System | 呼吸系统
Minute ventilation (VE = tidal volume × respiratory rate) rises sharply during exercise. Tidal volume increases from roughly 0.5 L at rest to 3-4 L in a trained athlete, while breathing frequency can reach 40-60 breaths per minute to meet oxygen demand and expel CO₂.
运动时每分通气量 (VE = 潮气量 × 呼吸频率) 急剧上升。潮气量从安静时的约 0.5 L 增至训练有素运动员的 3-4 L,呼吸频率可达 40-60 次/分以满足氧气需求并排出 CO₂。
Gaseous exchange at the alveoli and muscles relies on partial pressure gradients. The oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve shifts rightwards (Bohr effect) during exercise due to increased temperature, acidity and CO₂, facilitating oxygen unloading at the tissues.
肺泡和肌肉处的气体交换依赖分压梯度。运动时温度升高、酸度和 CO₂ 增加使氧合血红蛋白解离曲线右移(波尔效应),促进组织处氧的释放。
Respiratory muscles (diaphragm and intercostals) fatigue during prolonged high-intensity activity, potentially limiting performance. Training improves respiratory muscle endurance and the ability to sustain high ventilation rates.
长时间高强度活动使呼吸肌(膈肌和肋间肌)疲劳,可能限制运动表现。训练可提高呼吸肌耐力,维持高通气量。
4. Energy Systems | 能量系统
The ATP-PC (phosphocreatine) system provides immediate energy for high-intensity efforts lasting up to 10 seconds. No oxygen is required; phosphocreatine donates a phosphate to ADP to resynthesise ATP in a single-step reaction catalysed by creatine kinase.
ATP-PC(磷酸肌酸)系统为持续 10 秒以内的高强度活动提供即时能量,无需氧气。磷酸肌酸通过肌酸激酶催化的单步反应将磷酸基团转移至 ADP 再合成 ATP。
The glycolytic (lactic acid) system predominates in near-maximal efforts lasting 30-90 seconds. Glucose is broken down via glycolysis to pyruvate, then converted to lactic acid in the absence of sufficient oxygen, yielding 2 ATP per glucose molecule. Accumulation of hydrogen ions lowers pH, contributing to fatigue.
糖酵解(乳酸)系统主导持续 30-90 秒的次最大强度运动。葡萄糖经糖酵解分解为丙酮酸,缺氧时转化为乳酸,每分子葡萄糖产 2 个 ATP。氢离子堆积降低 pH,导致疲劳。
The aerobic system fuels prolonged, lower-intensity activity. Complete oxidation of glucose yields up to 38 ATP via glycolysis, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. Fatty acids produce more ATP but require more oxygen, making them predominant at rest and very low intensities. The energy continuum illustrates the simultaneous contribution of all systems with one dominating depending on intensity and duration.
有氧系统为长时间低强度活动供能。葡萄糖彻底氧化经糖酵解、三羧酸循环和电子传递链最多产 38 个 ATP。脂肪酸产 ATP 更多但耗氧更多,在休息和极低强度时占主导。能量连续体表明所有系统同时贡献,依据强度和持续时间某一系统居主导。
5. Skill Classification and Information Processing | 运动技能分类与信息加工
Skills are classified along continua: open-closed (environmental predictability), gross-fine (muscle groups used), discrete-serial-continuous (clear beginning and end), self-paced-externally paced and simple-complex. A tennis serve is an externally paced, gross, discrete skill, while darts is self-paced and fine.
技能可按连续体分类:开放-闭合(环境可预测性)、粗大-精细(参与肌群)、分立-序列-连续(起止清晰度)、自定节奏-外部定节奏、简单-复杂。网球发球属外部节奏、粗大、分立技能,掷飞镖则为自定节奏、精细技能。
Information processing models, such as Whiting’s model, describe how performers sense, interpret, decide and act. Input from the display is filtered by selective attention, processed by perceptual mechanisms, translated by translatory mechanisms, and executed through effector mechanisms, with feedback loops for error correction.
信息加工模型(如 Whiting 模型)描述运动者如何感受、理解、决策和行动。来自显示器的信息经选择性注意过滤,由知觉机制加工,传译机制转换,效应器机制执行,并通过反馈环路纠错。
Memory comprises short-term sensory store (STSS), short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM). STM has limited capacity (7±2 items) and duration; chunking and rehearsal aid transfer to LTM. Well-learned motor programmes stored in LTM allow autonomous execution.
记忆包括短时感觉储存 (STSS)、短时记忆 (STM) 和长时记忆 (LTM)。STM 容量有限(7±2 项目)且时长短暂;组块和复述有助转入 LTM。储存在 LTM 的熟练运动程序可实现自动化执行。
6. Learning Theories and Feedback | 学习理论与反馈
Fitts and Posner’s stages of learning progress from cognitive (error-prone, requires demonstration) through associative (refining movement, fewer errors) to autonomous (automatic, can attend to other stimuli). Coaches adjust instruction according to the learner’s stage.
Fitts 和 Posner 学习阶段从认知阶段(多错、需示范)到联结阶段(动作细化、错误减少)再到自主阶段(自动化、可关注其他刺激)。教练应根据学习者的阶段调整指令。
Feedback is classified as intrinsic (internal, via proprioception) or augmented (external). Knowledge of results (KR) informs about outcome, while knowledge of performance (KP) concerns movement quality. Faded feedback and bandwidth feedback reduce dependency and promote self-correction.
反馈分为内在(自身本体感觉)和追加(外部)。结果知晓 (KR) 告知运动结果,表现知晓 (KP) 涉及动作质量。渐进减少反馈和带宽反馈可降低依赖、促进自我纠正。
Practice structures include whole practice (skill taught in entirety), part practice (sub-routines isolated for complex skills), variable practice (applied in changing conditions) and distributed practice (shorter sessions with rest). Massed practice reduces fatigue effects when learning simple skills.
练习方式有整体练习(完整教学)、分解练习(复杂技能的分项练习)、变化练习(在变化情境下应用)和分散练习(较短时间加休息)。集中练习在学习简单技能时可减少疲劳影响。
7. Arousal, Anxiety and Sports Performance | 唤醒、焦虑与运动表现
Arousal is the energised state of readiness. The inverted-U theory proposes optimal performance occurs at moderate arousal levels, varying with skill complexity and individual personality. Simple, gross skills benefit from higher arousal; complex, fine skills require lower arousal.
唤醒是精力充沛的准备状态。倒 U 型理论认为最佳表现出现于中等唤醒水平,视技能复杂度和个体人格而异。简单粗大技能受益于较高唤醒,复杂精细技能则需较低唤醒。
Anxiety comprises cognitive (worry, negative thoughts) and somatic (physiological responses like increased HR) components. Trait anxiety is a stable disposition; state anxiety is situational. The catastrophe model suggests a sudden performance drop when high cognitive anxiety combines with high physiological arousal.
焦虑包含认知成份(担忧、消极思维)和躯体成份(如心率升高的生理反应)。特质焦虑为稳定倾向,状态焦虑为情境性。突变模型指出,高认知焦虑与高生理唤醒结合时,表现会突然下降。
Athletes manage anxiety through techniques such as relaxation, imagery, positive self-talk and goal setting. Coaches can reduce evaluation apprehension by focusing on process goals rather than outcome.
运动员通过放松、表象训练、积极自我对话和目标设定等方法管理焦虑。教练可通过关注过程目标而非结果目标减轻评价担忧。
8. Group Dynamics and Cohesion | 团体动力与凝聚力
Tuckman’s model of group development includes forming, storming, norming and performing. Teams navigate these stages to establish roles, norms and interpersonal relationships. Effective groups clarify expectations early to minimise conflict.
Tuckman 团体发展模型包括组建期、激荡期、规范期和执行期。团队经历各阶段建立角色、规范与人际关系。高效团队尽早明确期望以减少冲突。
Cohesion is the force binding a group together, divided into task cohesion (commitment to shared goals) and social cohesion (interpersonal liking). Task cohesion more strongly predicts performance, especially in interactive sports like basketball and rugby.
凝聚力是维系团体的力量,分为任务凝聚力(对共同目标的投入)和社会凝聚力(人际好感)。任务凝聚力对表现预测力更强,尤其在篮球、橄榄球等互依性运动中。
Steiner’s model of group productivity states: actual productivity = potential productivity – losses due to faulty processes. Process losses include coordination losses (e.g. poor strategy) and motivation losses (e.g. social loafing). Coaches minimise losses through careful team selection and role clarity.
Steiner 团体生产力模型:实际生产力 = 潜在生产力 – 过程损失。过程损失包括协同损失(如策略差)和动机损失(如社会惰化)。教练通过谨慎选员和明确角色减少损失。
9. Socio-Cultural Influences in Sport | 体育中的社会文化影响
Ethical issues in sport include doping, gamesmanship and deviant behaviour. The WADA code promotes clean sport, while sportsmanship emphasises fairness and respect. Victorian public schools shaped modern sporting ethics through muscular Christianity and the codification of rules.
体育伦理问题包括兴奋剂、投机取巧和越轨行为。WADA 准则倡导干净体育,体育精神强调公平与尊重。维多利亚时期公学通过“强身派基督教”和规则编纂塑造现代体育伦理。
Commercialisation and media have transformed sport into a global spectacle. Sponsorship provides funding but may influence scheduling and rules. The golden triangle of sport, media and business multiplies exposure but raises concerns over athlete welfare and corruption.
商业化和媒体已将体育转变为全球盛事。赞助提供资金,但可能影响赛程和规则。体育、媒体与商业的黄金三角倍增曝光度,但也引发对运动员福利和腐败的担忧。
The shift from amateurism to professionalism altered the nature of sport. Professional performers dedicate full time to training; payment is linked to performance and marketability. Major sporting events (e.g. Olympics, FIFA World Cup) generate socio-political impacts, such as urban regeneration and national pride, but also displacement and debt.
从业余到职业的转变改变了体育性质。职业选手全职训练,报酬与表现和市场价值挂钩。大型体育赛事(如奥运会、足球世界杯)产生社会政治影响,如城市振兴和民族自豪感,但也带来搬迁与债务。
10. Biomechanical Principles | 生物力学原理
Newton’s first law (inertia): a body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. In a sprint start, the athlete must overcome inertia to accelerate. Second law: acceleration is proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass (F = ma). Third law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction, as seen in ground reaction forces during running.
牛顿第一定律(惯性):物体保持静止或匀速运动,除非受外力作用。短跑起跑时运动员须克服惯性加速。第二定律:加速度与力成正比,与质量成反比 (F = ma)。第三定律:作用力与反作用力等大反向,如跑步时的地面反作用力。
Centre of mass (CoM) is the point where mass is concentrated. Stability is maximised by lowering CoM, widening the base of support and keeping the line of gravity within the base. Levers in the body are classified as first, second or third class; most human movement uses third-class levers (effort between fulcrum and resistance) to favour speed and range of motion.
质心 (CoM) 是质量集中点。降低质心、加宽支撑面和保持重力线在支撑面内可最大化稳定性。人体杠杆分为第一、二、三类;多数人体运动使用第三类杠杆(支点在抗力与作用力之间),利于速度和活动范围。
Projectile motion factors influencing trajectory include release velocity (most critical), release angle (optimal 45° when release and landing height equal) and release height. Understanding these helps in analysing shots, throws and jumps for maximising distance or accuracy.
影响抛体运动的因素包括出手速度(最关键)、出手角度(当出手与落地等高时最佳为 45°)和出手高度。理解这些有助分析投掷、射门和跳跃,以最大化距离或准确性。
11. Training and Adaptation | 训练与适应
The principles of training – specificity, overload, progression, reversibility, variety and individualisation – underpin effective programme design. Overload is achieved through manipulating FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type), ensuring the body adapts to greater demands than usual.
训练原则——特异性、超负荷、渐进性、可逆性、多样性和个体化——是有效计划设计的基础。通过调整 FITT(频率、强度、时间、类型)实现超负荷,使身体适应高于平常的要求。
Training methods include continuous (steady submaximal), interval (work-rest cycles targeting ATP-PC or lactic systems), fartlek (speed play) and circuit (resistance or skill stations). Periodisation organises training into macrocycles, mesocycles and microcycles, peaking for competition while avoiding overtraining.
训练方法包括持续训练(稳定次最大强度)、间歇训练(针对 ATP-PC 或乳酸系统的工作-休息循环)、法特莱克(速度游戏)和循环训练(抗阻或技能站点)。周期化将训练组织为大周期、中周期和小周期,为比赛达到巅峰同时避免过度训练。
Aerobic adaptations include increased left ventricular volume, capillary density, myoglobin content and mitochondrial enzyme activity. These enhance oxygen extraction and utilisation, improving VO₂ max and lactate threshold. Anaerobic adaptations involve increased ATP-PC stores, glycolytic enzyme activity and buffering capacity.
有氧适应包括左心室容积增加、毛细血管密度增大、肌红蛋白含量和线粒体酶活性提高,增加氧提取与利用,提高最大摄氧量和乳酸阈。无氧适应包括 ATP-PC 储备增加、糖酵解酶活性和缓冲能力提升。
