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






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






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






4. Most important for progressive overload






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






9. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






12. Rest/recovery time between workouts






13. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






14. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






17. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






18. Varying overload applied






19. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






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






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






26. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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
