Kinesiology Strength Training

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

3. Exercise selection For high-level athletes must be more






4. When you lift weights - pressure builds up in your chest. When you hold your breath you shut off the only escape valve that pressure has






5. If you perform the same workouts day after day this will eventually lead to losing fitness






6. When training for strength - not counting warm-up sets - you should perform How many sets of each exercise
