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. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






4. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






6. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






7. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






12. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






13. 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






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






15. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






30. Varying overload applied






31. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






33. 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






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






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






36. Varying overload applied
