- metabolic specificity
- periodization
Answer:
- SAID principle ( Principle of specificity or specific adaptation to imposed demands
- low-weight, high- velocity contractions must be performed in a plyometric
- heavy weights with low reps.
Question 2: To develop higher levels of power in the legs, which exercises would you do?
manner(reactive-power exercises)
Answer:
- low-weight, high-velocity contractions must be performed in a plyometric manner ( reactive-power
exercises)
Question 3: The kinetic chain's ability to adapt to stresses placed on it.
- alarm reaction
- resistance development
- general adaptation syndrome
Answer:
- general adaptation syndrome
Question 4: Ability to repeatedly produce higher levels of force for relatively prolonged periods.
- stability
- strength endurance
- muscular endurance
- hypertrophy
Answer:
- strength endurance
- mechanical
- neuromuscular
- metabolic
Question 5: The body burns more calories when rest periods are controlled to minimize full recuperation. Which specificity is this working on?
Answer:
- metabolic
Question 6: What are the variable used to achieve the adaptations in the strength level?
Answer:
Low/ mod reps, moderate/high volume mod/high intensity, stable exercises Question 7: The ability to produce the greatest possible force in the shortest possible time.
- stability
- strength endurance
- muscular endurance
- hypertrophy
- power
Answer:
- power
- resistance development
- alarm reaction
- exhaustion
Question 8: Which stage of the general adaptation syndrome is the initial reaction to stressor such as increased oxygen and blood supply to the necessary areas of the body?
Answer:
- alarm reaction
Question 9: To develop endurance training it will require?
- prolonged bouts of exercise, with minimal rest periods between sets.
- longer rest periods, so the intensity of each bout of exercise remains high
Answer:
a.training will require proloned bouts of exercise with minimal rest perods Question 10: What are the three stages of response to stress known as general adaptation syndrome?
Answer:
alarm reaction,resistance development, exhaustion Question 11: What are the three primary adaptations achieved in the strength level period of training?a. power
- strength endurance, hypertrophy, maximal strength
- muscular endurance & stability
Answer:
- strength endurance, hypertrophy, maximal strength
- mechanical
- neuromuscular
- metabolic
Question 12: The body burns more calories when more muscles are being used for longer periods in controlled, unstable enviroments. Which specificity is this working on?
Answer:
- neuromuscular
- stability
- strength endurance
- muscular endurance
- hypertrophy
Question 13: Ability the kinetic chain's stabilizing muscles to provide optimal dynamic joint stabilization and maintain correct posture during all movements.
Answer:
- stability
Question 14: The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension (in the muscles and connective tissue that pull on the bones) to overcome an external force.
- muscular endurance
- stability
- strength
Answer:
- strength
Question 15: Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection.
- neuromuscular specificity
- metabolic specificity
- mechanical specificity
Answer:
- neuromuscular specificity
Question 16: What are the variables used to achieve the adaptations in the power level?
Answer:
low/high intensity, high velocity exercises Question 17: Which stage of the general adaptation syndrome is where a prolonged intolerable stressor produces fatigue and leads to a breakdown in the system or injury?a. resistance development
- alarm reaction
- exhaustion
Answer:
- exhaustion
Question 18: Which muscle type( muscle units) are recruited first?
- Type II ( larger motor units)
- Type I ( smaller motor units)
Answer:
- Type I (smaller motor units) Recruitment of motor units is generally determined by their size(size
- strength endurance
- muscular endurance
- hypertrophy
- power
principle) Question 19: What is one primary adaptation achieved in the power level of training?a. stability
