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. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






4. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






5. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. Most important for progressive overload






16. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






20. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






24. Varying overload applied






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. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






30. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






35. 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






36. Varying overload applied
