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. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






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






7. 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






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






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






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






11. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






13. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






14. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






18. Most important for progressive overload






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






22. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






27. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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. 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






30. Most important for progressive overload






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






32. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






34. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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