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.

2. When a muscle contracts it does not change length






3. Free weights require the user to






4. Fuel around six to ten seconds of exercise






5. Increasing the number of existing muscle fibers






6. Dormant cells that - when stimulated - 'turn on' - re-enter the cell cycle - and then differentiate to form myofibrils






7. A maximum amount of force being exerted throughout the entire range of motion






8. Exercises that allow a muscle to reach max strength in as short a time as possible






9. Designed to take the fitness that was developed in the first phase of training and apply it directly to the sport






10. If training load enough to maintain your fitness level but not enough to improve it






11. Posture used When lifting an object from the ground - lifting it overhead - or squatting with it a/an






12. What were the technique errors that the book said to watch out for when performing the squat






13. Increase in the cross-sectional area of existing muscle fibers; it does not refer to the laying down of new muscle fibers






14. The primary purpose of spotting






15. Due to the stretch reflex - when a muscle is stretched - it automatically tries to






16. Training needs to be constantly evaluated so that it remains stimulating. Failure to do so can cause you to regress rather than progress






17. Spotting is also used to help the lifter perform






18. Muscle makes up the heart






19. The squat is considered a closed kinetic chain






20. Used when exercise remains at a steady - low intensity






21. Fuel around six to ten seconds of exercise






22. Trength one can develop in a movement regardless of body weight






23. Occur when the muscle shortens






24. Attempt to make the training process more objectively measurable - thus more accurately planned and evaluated along the way to a more reliable peak






25. Goal of plyometrics






26. The regular increase in training that is required for improving performance is accomplished by changing

30. 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






31. Isn't developed in bench press - squat - and deadlift are fine conditioning exercises






32. Quantity of work one performs






33. Can actually decrease performance on strength and power activities






34. Carefully and methodically increasing the athlete's fitness over time seeks to insure that athletes do not become






35. Foundation of most periodization models






36. If the training magnitude is too low then detraining will occur






37. Due to the mechanical loading and stress that it places on muscles and bones. However - the exercises must be intense enough to cause the bones to adapt






38. Strength and conditioning is thought to enhance the resting levels of anaerobic substances. This means that there is more fuel on hand for






39. If training is enough to cause an adaptation






40. When training for endurance - How many repetitions should be done for each set of an exercise






41. Helps prevent injury because - as temperature increases - so does the

44. Recommended hours of rest between plyometric sessions






45. Principle of specificity for athletes requires that you keep what factors in mind






46. When training for hypertrophy - you should only get how much rest between each set?
