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. 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






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. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






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






8. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






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






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






14. 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






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






16. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






17. Rest/recovery time between workouts






18. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






20. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






24. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






27. Varying overload applied






28. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






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






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






35. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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