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.

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

18. Attempt to make the training process more objectively measurable - thus more accurately planned and evaluated along the way to a more reliable peak
trauma or long-term overuse injuries
train for what you want - difficult enough to make gains - don't use it you loose it - workouts are same for each person - hardest exercises at beginning - and balanced training.

23. Isn't developed in bench press - squat - and deadlift are fine conditioning exercises
principle of reversibility
allow for little excersice variety and allow movement in only a single plane of motion
fast twitch muscle fibers
bone mineral density

24. Strength and conditioning is thought to enhance the resting levels of anaerobic substances. This means that there is more fuel on hand for
loss of back set - not keeping feet flat on floor - hips move faster than shoulders
intense exercise
stimulation
energy intake - recruitment - and load

25. Total weight lifted divided by bodyweight
principle of individualization
slow twitch muscle fibers
relative muscular strength
volume or intensity

26. Machines (unlike free weights)
provide better isolation of specific joint angles and movements than free weights -easy to learn - and safer than free weight exercises - generally not requiring spotters.

Myoplasticity
trauma or long-term overuse injuries

27. When training for hypertrophy you should perform How many sets of each exercise
3-5
varied
48-72
48-72

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