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. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






2. Rest/recovery time between workouts






3. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. Varying overload applied






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






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






23. Varying overload applied






24. Rest/recovery time between workouts






25. 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






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






27. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






30. Most important for progressive overload






31. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






34. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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