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






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






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






4. Rest/recovery time between workouts






5. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






9. 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






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






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






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






13. Varying overload applied






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






15. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






18. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






21. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






26. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






31. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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