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






2. 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






3. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. Most important for progressive overload






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






14. Varying overload applied






15. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






18. 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






19. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






20. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






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






25. Varying overload applied






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. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






29. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






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






34. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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