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






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






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






4. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






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






8. 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






9. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






10. Most important for progressive overload






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






12. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






15. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






23. 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






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






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






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






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






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






29. Rest/recovery time between workouts






30. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






32. Varying overload applied






33. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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