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






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






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






4. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






11. 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






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






13. Varying overload applied






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






15. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






23. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






24. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






32. Rest/recovery time between workouts






33. Varying overload applied






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






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






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