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

5. Increasing the number of existing muscle fibers






6. Forms the backbone of plyometric training - sprint training - and the Olympic-style lifts

8. Increasing the number of existing muscle fibers






9. Spotting is especially important with the following types of exercises






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






11. Recommended plyometric sessions per week






12. Occur when the muscle lengthens






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






14. Developed in activities like lifting weights - jumping - sprinting - and throwing






15. The shrinking of muscles from disuse






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






17. The factors that contribute to increasing one's muscular strength






18. Exercise enhances the quantity and activation of the enzymes that control the anaerobic phase of






19. Training must be increased regularly for performance to improve.






20. Spotting is also used to help the lifter perform






21. Training must be increased regularly for performance to improve.






22. Muscle makes up the heart






23. Such as squats - leg presses - lunges and presses have to be used to have an effect on bone mineral density






24. The better well-rounded an athlete is in terms of physical skills and in terms of fitness - the faster he or she will master new skills and the faster he or she will recover from the training process






25. States that everyone is different and will react to an exercise stimulus differently.






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






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






28. Thought to be built up and stored when a muscle is stretched quickly






29. When training for hypertrophy you should perform How many sets of each exercise






30. Allows one a chance to recover from the previous phases of training






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

36. Muscle makes up the heart






37. The squat is considered a closed kinetic chain






38. Fuel around six to ten seconds of exercise






39. 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






40. The squat is considered a closed kinetic chain

49. The warm up prepares the body for action. It is important for






50. Foundation of most periodization models
