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. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






3. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






7. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






11. Varying overload applied






12. Varying overload applied






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






14. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






16. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






27. 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






28. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






30. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






34. 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






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