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






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






3. 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






4. During fast movements ____________________ force production is possible than/as with slower movements.






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






6. The squat is considered a closed kinetic chain






7. Ability to maintain speed over time






8. Designed to take the fitness that was developed in the first phase of training and apply it directly to the sport






9. Strength and conditioning is thought to enhance the resting levels of anaerobic substances. This means that there is more fuel on hand for






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






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






12. Strength and conditioning is thought to enhance the resting levels of anaerobic substances. This means that there is more fuel on hand for






13. Isn't developed in bench press - squat - and deadlift are fine conditioning exercises






14. Failing to perform exercises correctly could lead to the load being placed on muscles and structures they are not meant to be - which could lead to






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






16. Fuel around six to ten seconds of exercise






17. Quantity of work one performs






18. 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






19. The primary purpose of spotting






20. Ability to apply a maximum force in a minimal time






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






22. When you lift weights - pressure builds up in your chest. When you hold your breath you shut off the only escape valve that pressure has






23. Provide a greater transfer of __________________ to athletic or ergonomic tasks than machine weights.






24. Principle of specificity for athletes requires that you keep what factors in mind






25. Two parts to the warm up






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






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






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






29. Strength ratios between opposing muscle groups.






30. Machines (unlike free weights)






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






32. Are able to generate more force than muscles with less angle






33. Can provide fuel for two to three minutes of exercise






34. Increasing the number of existing muscle fibers






35. If training is enough to cause an adaptation






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






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






38. When a muscle contracts it does not change length






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






40. One disadvantage of free weights






41. Two parts to the warm up






42. Foundation of most periodization models






43. Generally - What is the correct order in which exercises should be performed






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






45. A disadvantage of training with machine weights






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






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

49. Are able to generate more force than muscles with less angle






50. Potential to alter gene expression
