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






2. Most important for progressive overload






3. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






5. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






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






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






13. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






16. Varying overload applied






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






18. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






22. 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






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






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






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






27. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






31. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






32. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






35. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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