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






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






3. Varying overload applied






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






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






6. 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






7. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






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






13. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






14. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






15. Most important for progressive overload






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






17. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






21. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






23. Most important for progressive overload






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






25. 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






26. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






29. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






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






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






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