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






2. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






4. Rest/recovery time between workouts






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






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






16. Varying overload applied






17. Varying overload applied






18. 30-40% loss of muscular endurance






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






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






23. Most important for progressive overload






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. 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






26. Rest/recovery time between workouts






27. Most important for progressive overload






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






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






30. 10% 8 weeks after stopping






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






32. 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






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






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






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






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