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. 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






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






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






6. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






10. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






14. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






15. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






16. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






17. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






18. Varying overload applied






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






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






21. 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






22. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






31. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






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)
