•3.Define agonist/antagonist/fixator and synergist

•The agonist is where the bicep contracts and the triceps is the antagonist by lengthening and relaxing the fixator would be the deltoid by keeping the arm in the correct position whilst  doing a bicep curl and the synergist would be the abdominals by stabilising the muscle but not anything to do with the agonist or antagonist.

•4. Using a sporting example can you explain the agonist/antagonist/fixators and synergists

       so in football when you kick a ball you quadriceps would be the agonist because              its contracting your hamstring would be the antagonist because its lengthening your gluteus Maximus would be the fixator to keep the muscle stabilised and your abdominals would be the synergist because it would keep your position right when kicking the ball.    

5.Explain how muscles are joined to the bone via tendons at the origin (non-moving attachment) and the insertion (the moving attachment)

This would be when muscles move they have two parts to where they are attached to the origin and insertion so for the bicep the origin would be the shoulder and the insertion would be the ulna or radius because the shoulder is not moving where the ulna or radius is moving

1.Explain the three types of muscle tissue- Cardiac/Skeletal/Smooth

Skeletal muscles: these muscles are voluntary so for example if you flex your bicep your ,radius, and ulnar will move as well.

Cardiac muscles: this muscle is involuntary so it will contract with out the brain telling is to contract for example the heart.

Smooth muscles: these muscles are involuntary for example this would be found in the digestive system and would help push the food through the gastrointestinal tract. 

2.Where would you find examples of all three types

You would find the skeletal muscle in the bicep by flexing the bicep the ulnar and radius with move as the muscle is contracting.

The cardiac muscle would be the heart because its involuntary by contracting without the brain telling it to contract.

The smooth muscle would be found in the digestive system to push food through.

 

•The muscle is surrounded by empisyium and inside there are these little bundles and they are called perimysium but what inside that is called endomysium and each of those little bundles are called muscle fibres.

Assessing my own abilities
Important Component	Why have I decided to work on this component
Positive thinking	I need to have better positive thinking when my team are losing in a match. Because that is what puts me down in a match and I get annoyed with the team and myself and my performance goes down with my thinking. The way i should improve this is by thinking positive because when I think positive I play a lot better
Important Component	Why have I decided to work on this component
Pre match routine	In my pre match routine I need to do something that will get me confident. Because sometimes when I get the ball I just do what my teammates say and that’s just pass it I should do my own thing and do what I think is best. The way i should improve this is by visualising what I’m going to do in a match and practise on it.
Important Component	Why have I decided to work on this component
Strength	I must improve on my strength because it’s a major part in football and because now I am the age that I can play proper men’s football and in men’s football you need alit of strength because it’s very physical. I think the Way I should improve this is by going in the gym more and reducing the reps and increasing the weight’s

Assessing my own abilities
Important Component	Why have I decided to work on this component
Muscular endurance	I need to improve my muscular endurance because in a match sometimes when I have been running up and down the pitch constantly my muscles start to ache. I should improve this by doing a long muscular activity so i am using my muscles more.
Important Component	Why have I decided to work on this component
Co-ordination	I need to improve on my co-ordination because sometimes in a match I have the ball and I try to look for the best person to pass to but without looking at the ball and sometimes I miss pass the ball. I should improve this by practising doing two things at once.
Important Component	Why have I decided to work on this component
Aggression	I think I need more aggression in my team because I don’t go into tackles hard enough and when my team needs that aggression it’s like I can’t get the aggression out of me. I should improve this by getting myself up for the game and get someone to annoy me before the match so that I’m not afraid to get stuck in so the aggression i have got is to get the ball of the opponent and take it towards the goal.
