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






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






4. 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






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






6. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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. Most important for progressive overload






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






12. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






13. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






17. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






23. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






26. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






30. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






32. Varying overload applied






33. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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
