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. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






3. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






6. 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






7. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






20. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






22. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






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






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






26. Varying overload applied






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






28. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






31. Most important for progressive overload






32. Varying overload applied






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






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






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






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.
