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. Varying overload applied






2. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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






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






8. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






16. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






18. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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. Most important for progressive overload






21. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






33. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






35. Most important for progressive overload






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