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






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






3. Varying overload applied






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






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






6. 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






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






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






9. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






12. Rest/recovery time between workouts






13. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






16. 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






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. Most important for progressive overload






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






20. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






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. Most important for progressive overload






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






27. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






31. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






33. Varying overload applied






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






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