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






2. Most important for progressive overload






3. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






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






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






10. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






16. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






19. Varying overload applied






20. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






22. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






28. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






31. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






36. 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
