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






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






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






6. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






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






11. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






13. Most important for progressive overload






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






16. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






20. 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






21. 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






22. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






23. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






24. Varying overload applied






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






26. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






30. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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. Varying overload applied






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