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






3. A disadvantage of training with machine weights






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






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






6. When training for strength - How many repetitions should be performed for each exercise set

13. When a muscle contracts it does not change length






14. Potential to alter gene expression






15. Strength ratios between opposing muscle groups.






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. Goal of plyometrics






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

25. If training is enough to cause an adaptation






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

31. First step in designing a long-term program for an individual






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






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