Physical Training Principles

Instructions:
  • Answer 36 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.
1. Involves the athlete undertaking a training load exceeding what the body is normally accustomed to and is forced to operate beyond its normal range.






2. Affecting the same metabolic system. Best to train in the activity you will be performing in






3. Train to maximize positive physiological changes and minimize the negative effects of exercise stress






4. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






5. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






6. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






7. Variable that has that has the greatest potential in terms of improving performance






8. Use it or lose it - Improvements made with training are gradually lost when training stops - the rate of reversal varies for different adaptations






9. Specific - Meaningful - Achievable - Realistic - Time-based






10. Measurable loss of aerobic fitness after 2 weeks of detraining - 50% loss of aerobic fitness after 4-12 weeks of detraining - return to pre-trained levels after 10 weeks- 8 months






11. Affecting the same metabolic system. Best to train in the activity you will be performing in






12. F: 3 times/week I: 50% maximal aerobic capacity T: 20 minutes (continuous or 10 minute bouts) Type: includes large - lower body muscles






13. Most important for progressive overload






14. Train to maximize positive physiological changes and minimize the negative effects of exercise stress






15. Two activities affecting the same metabolic system: best to train in the activity you will be performing (or one with a similar neuromuscular usage)






16. Variable that has that has the greatest potential in terms of improving performance






17. Rest/recovery time between workouts






18. Varying overload applied






19. F: 3 times/week I: 50% maximal aerobic capacity T: 20 minutes (continuous or 10 minute bouts) Type: includes large - lower body muscles






20. F:2 times/week I:moderate T: Hold 15-30 seconds Type: static and/or dynamic






21. Specific - Meaningful - Achievable - Realistic - Time-based






22. F: 2 times a week I/T: 1set - 8-12 reps Type: Machines - free weights - calisthenics






23. Varying overload applied






24. F: 2 times a week I/T: 1set - 8-12 reps Type: Machines - free weights - calisthenics






25. Fitness level prior to stopping - how long fit - routine level of physical activity






26. F:2 times/week I:moderate T: Hold 15-30 seconds Type: static and/or dynamic






27. Crash and burn - overtraining syndrome - injury - stop training






28. Two activities affecting the same metabolic system: best to train in the activity you will be performing (or one with a similar neuromuscular usage)






29. Rest/recovery time between workouts






30. Use it or lose it - Improvements made with training are gradually lost when training stops - the rate of reversal varies for different adaptations






31. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






32. Involves the athlete undertaking a training load exceeding what the body is normally accustomed to and is forced to operate beyond its normal range.






33. Measurable loss of aerobic fitness after 2 weeks of detraining - 50% loss of aerobic fitness after 4-12 weeks of detraining - return to pre-trained levels after 10 weeks- 8 months






34. Crash and burn - overtraining syndrome - injury - stop training






35. Most important for progressive overload






36. Fitness level prior to stopping - how long fit - routine level of physical activity
