Q

temporary condition when compared to overtraining syndrome. Like overtraining syndrome, this also involves decrements in performance, often as a result of fatigue. If not identified, it can lead to overtraining syndrome. While these terms may sound the same, the subtle difference has to do with the amount of time for performance restoration, not the type of duration of training stress

44
Q

The speed at which each repetition is performed.

A

repetition tempo

45
Q

T/F: A faster movement cadence is often used to stimulate muscle hypertrophy since slower controlled speeds are typically employed to develop strength and power.

A

false; A slower movement cadence is often used to stimulate muscle hypertrophy since faster uncontrolled speeds are typically employed to develop strength and power. Slower tempos are also used for the development of stabilization and muscular endurance.

46
Q

order in which repetition tempo is listed regardless of of the way in which the exercise is performed

A
  1. eccentric
  2. isometric
  3. concentric
  4. isometric
47
Q

T/F: Repetition tempos use the same four-numbered sequence no matter if the exercise first starts with an eccentric movement, like a squat or bench press, or a concentric movement, like a biceps curl or shoulder press.

A

true

48
Q

The time taken to recuperate between sets.

A

rest interval

49
Q

the ability to maintain repeated muscular contractions for a given period

A

Muscular endurance

50
Q

What is the general rest recommendation for muscular endurance

A

approximately 30 to 60 seconds between sets

**sometimes difficult to maintain a given intensity when performing this type of training. In such a case, the load should be reduced to allow the appropriate repetition range to be performed for muscular endurance adaptations to occur.

51
Q

what is the general rest recommendation for hypertrophy training?

A

have moderate to high loads with wide ranging rest periods between sets—approximately 0 to 180 seconds

if difficult to maintain, it is suggested that the fitness professional should reduce the load to allow a specific amount of repetitions to be performed.

52
Q

what is the general rest recommendation for maximal strength?

A

Research provides insight that 3- to 5-minute rest period lengths are perhaps more effective and safer, especially when using multijoint movements (e.g., back squat, bench press, deadlift, or overhead press

53
Q

what is the general rest recommendation for power?

A

rest interval between sets should correspond with the time needed for ATP replenishment. According to research, this rest period is approximately 4 minutes long

**b/c everyone is different, resting for 3 to 5 minutes between sets seems logical and can allow for the preservation of force and power production over multiple sets and reps

54
Q

A

true

58
Q

describes the total number of weekly training sessions

A

training frequency

59
Q

allow at least 1 day of rest between resistance training sessions that stress identical muscle groups

60
Q

what is the recommended frequency for beginning/novice resistance training

A

2-3x per week

61
Q

what is the recommended frequency for intermediate resistance training

3x per week if using total body training sessions

4x per week if using a split regimen (i.e., training different muscle groups each session)

62
Q

what is the recommended frequency for advanced resistance training

A

4–6x per week; these individuals may perform many sessions in a single day

63
Q

The amount of time of a training session.

A

training duration

exercise sessions typically last between 30 and 90 minutes.

64
Q

The main method of exercise order is

A

to first arrange types of exercise in order of priority

Specifically, the client will first perform the exercises that emphasize their specific goals in the workout and then implement the less specific goals toward the end of the training session

65
Q

The other method of exercise order is according to the type of exercise:

A

multijoint or single-joint

Multijoint, also known as compound exercises, involves engagement of large muscle mass that involves two or more primary joints.

Single-joint, also known as an assistance exercise, typically recruits smaller muscle mass and the use of single-joint exercises (e.g., bicep curls or triceps extensions). The fitness professional should have the ability to choose from a multitude of exercises, for both multijoint and single-joint exercises.

66
Q

warm up set

A

1–2 sets at a low intensity to psychologically and physiologically prepare for the resistance training exercise

ex: one or two sets of a bench press exercise using light weights prior to increasing the load and finishing the remainder of their set; typically, 10 to 15 repetitions are enough for a warm-up set

67
Q

single set system

A

Performing one set of each exercise

recommended that single-set workouts be performed two times per week to promote sufficient development and maintenance of muscle mass

68
Q

multiple set system

A

Performing a multiple number of sets for each exercise

69
Q

pyramid system

A

Increasing (or decreasing) weight with each set

light to heavy system: the individual typically performs 10 to 12 repetitions with a light load and increases the load for each following set, until the individual can perform 1 or 2 repetitions, usually in four to six sets

The heavy to light system works in the opposite direction, in which the individual warms up and then begins with a heavy load for 1 to 2 repetitions, then decreases the load and increases the repetitions for four to six sets.

70
Q

superset system

A

Performing two exercises in rapid succession with minimal rest; typically involves sets of 8 to 12 repetitions with no rest between sets or exercises

variations:
1. performing two exercises for the same muscle group back to back (ex: bench press + push up)
2. performing two exercises back to back that involve opposing muscle groups (ex: chest/back or quads/hamstrings)

71
Q

complex training

A

Performing a multijoint or compound exercise, with a heavy load, immediately followed by an explosive movement (e.g., a barbell squat then a vertical jump)

premise behind complex training is that the client or athlete can perform the power or plyometric exercise more explosively due to the previous heavy-load exercise - POST ACTIVATION POTENTIATION (PAP)

72 hrs recovery

72
Q

drop set

A

Performing a set to failure, then removing a small percentage of the load and continuing with the set

73
Q

giant set

A

Performing four or more exercises in rotation with as little rest as possible between sets

one muscle group at a time, with three or more exercises corresponding to 8 to 12 repetitions

5-15 seconds rest btween exercises and 2-5 mins between sets

For example, a chest giant set might consist of 10 repetitions of flat dumbbell chest presses, 10 repetitions of incline dumbbell presses, 10 repetitions of decline bench presses, and 10 repetitions of dumbbell pec flys.

74
Q

rest pause set

A

Incorporating a slight pause between repetitions within a series of sets; employs moderate to heavy loading with a short rest interval, allowing clients to develop as much of a stimulus as possible in minimal time

sequence:

  1. Perform a set for a specific amount of repetitions.
  2. Set the weight down and take several deep breaths, then complete the subsequent repetitions to muscular failure.
  3. Complete the second step as many times as possible.
75
Q

circuit training system

A

Performing a series of exercises, one after the other, with minimal rest

low to moderate number of sets (1–3)
moderate to high repetitions (8–20)
minimal rest periods between exercises

76
Q

peripheral heart action system

A

A variation of circuit training that alternates upper and lower body exercises throughout the set

distributes blood flow between the upper and lower extremities, potentially improving circulation

8-20 reps per exercise

77
Q

split routine system

A

A resistance training routine that trains different body parts on separate days; popular with body builders/athletes

78
Q

vertical loading

A

Alternating body parts trained from set to set, starting from the upper extremity and moving toward the lower extremity.

A form of training in which strength training exercises are performed in rapid succession, starting with the upper body and working down to the lower body (i.e., total-body → chest → back → shoulders → biceps → triceps → legs)

allows max recovery to each body part

79
Q

horizontal loading

A

Performing all sets of an exercise (or body part) before moving on to the next exercise (or body part)

**most commonly used in health club environments

drawback is higher rest periods - metabolic progression if rest periods are monitored and limited to 30 to 90 seconds between sets

80
Q

The phenomenon by which acute muscle force generation is increased as a result of the inner contraction of the muscle.

A

post-activation potentiation (PAP)

81
Q

A process that involves expiring against a closed windpipe, creating additional intra-abdominal pressure and spinal stability.

A

Valsalva maneuver

82
