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. Goal of plyometrics






2. Bone adapts to mechanical stress or loading by increasing mineralization in a particular region of the bone to increase the strength of the bone to withstand the stress.

5. Can actually decrease performance on strength and power activities






6. Potential to alter gene expression






7. When one cannot perform more repetitions - or when he or she cannot increase the weight - then the exercises should be






8. The energy system that will primarily fuel your exercise will depend on






9. Mechanisms through which a warm-up helps to improve performance






10. The purpose of cool-down






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






12. Quality of the work done






13. Includes the consideration of force as the cause of motion






14. Muscle makes up the walls of blood vessels and organs






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






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






17. Periodization limitation






18. Two parts to the warm up






19. Machines (unlike free weights)






20. Two parts to the warm up






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






22. Exercises that train the ability to run fast over short distances






23. When a muscle contracts it does not change length






24. Muscle is under voluntary control and is responsible for movement of the body






25. According to Brooks - Fahey - and White - the factors that influence a muscle's ability to undergo growth are






26. Occur when the muscle shortens






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






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






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






30. Plyometrics training takes advantage of two physiological features in the human body






31. 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






32. Fuel around six to ten seconds of exercise






33. Free weights require the user to






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






35. One disadvantage of free weights






36. Foundation of most periodization models






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






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






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






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






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






42. Designed to build a movement and fitness base






43. Start out using very general approaches to fitness






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






45. Potential to alter gene expression






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