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. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






2. Most important for progressive overload






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






4. Rest/recovery time between workouts






5. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






6. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






12. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






17. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






33. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






34. Varying overload applied






35. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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