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






2. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






5. Most important for progressive overload






6. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






11. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






12. 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






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






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






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






16. Varying overload applied






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






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






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. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






28. Rest/recovery time between workouts






29. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






32. 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






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






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






35. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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