Physical Training Principles

Instructions:
  • Answer 36 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. Specific - Meaningful - Achievable - Realistic - Time-based






2. Crash and burn - overtraining syndrome - injury - stop training






3. F:2 times/week I:moderate T: Hold 15-30 seconds Type: static and/or dynamic






4. Crash and burn - overtraining syndrome - injury - stop training






5. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






6. Use it or lose it - Improvements made with training are gradually lost when training stops - the rate of reversal varies for different adaptations






7. F:2 times/week I:moderate T: Hold 15-30 seconds Type: static and/or dynamic






8. Rest/recovery time between workouts






9. Train to maximize positive physiological changes and minimize the negative effects of exercise stress






10. Rest/recovery time between workouts






11. Use it or lose it - Improvements made with training are gradually lost when training stops - the rate of reversal varies for different adaptations






12. Two activities affecting the same metabolic system: best to train in the activity you will be performing (or one with a similar neuromuscular usage)






13. Most important for progressive overload






14. F: 3 times/week I: 50% maximal aerobic capacity T: 20 minutes (continuous or 10 minute bouts) Type: includes large - lower body muscles






15. Variable that has that has the greatest potential in terms of improving performance






16. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






17. F: 2 times a week I/T: 1set - 8-12 reps Type: Machines - free weights - calisthenics






18. Affecting the same metabolic system. Best to train in the activity you will be performing in






19. Varying overload applied






20. Fitness level prior to stopping - how long fit - routine level of physical activity






21. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






22. Fitness level prior to stopping - how long fit - routine level of physical activity






23. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






24. Measurable loss of aerobic fitness after 2 weeks of detraining - 50% loss of aerobic fitness after 4-12 weeks of detraining - return to pre-trained levels after 10 weeks- 8 months






25. F: 3 times/week I: 50% maximal aerobic capacity T: 20 minutes (continuous or 10 minute bouts) Type: includes large - lower body muscles






26. Measurable loss of aerobic fitness after 2 weeks of detraining - 50% loss of aerobic fitness after 4-12 weeks of detraining - return to pre-trained levels after 10 weeks- 8 months






27. Affecting the same metabolic system. Best to train in the activity you will be performing in






28. Varying overload applied






29. Variable that has that has the greatest potential in terms of improving performance






30. Specific - Meaningful - Achievable - Realistic - Time-based






31. Most important for progressive overload






32. Involves the athlete undertaking a training load exceeding what the body is normally accustomed to and is forced to operate beyond its normal range.






33. F: 2 times a week I/T: 1set - 8-12 reps Type: Machines - free weights - calisthenics






34. Train to maximize positive physiological changes and minimize the negative effects of exercise stress






35. Two activities affecting the same metabolic system: best to train in the activity you will be performing (or one with a similar neuromuscular usage)






36. Involves the athlete undertaking a training load exceeding what the body is normally accustomed to and is forced to operate beyond its normal range.
