Question 1

What is the primary factor for strength and power

Answer 1

for producing an effective and efficient movement of an

athlete’s body or an external object

Question 2

_____________ and power output are two of
the most important characteristics regarding
an athlete’s performance

Answer 2

Rate of force development

Question 3

Rate of force development, can be defined as ______?

Answer 3

change in force divide time

Question 4

What does rate of force increase

Answer 4

Muscle strength enhance

force magnitude

Question 5

(Cross-sectional area) An increase in an _______may lead to an enhanced ability to increase their muscular strength

Answer 5

athlete’s cross section area (CSA)

Question 6

an increase in CSA
following resistance training coincides with a greater
Type II:I ratio due to a greater rate of hypertrophy of
____________muscle fibres compared to
____________fibres

Answer 6

Type II compared to type I fibres

Question 7

(Muscle architecture) The muscle’s __________________will determine the
force-velocity characteristics of the muscle

Answer 7

Pentation angle

Question 8

indicates that training with relatively
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_muscle actions and
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ loads (<60% 1RM) may produce
increases in fascicle length with no changes in
pennation angle

Answer 8

high velocity muscle actions and lighter loads

Question 9

(Motor unit recruitment)
The magnitude and rate of force
produced coincides with the ________ and _________of motor units recruited.

Answer 9

magnitude and rate of force development which contributes the number and type of motor unit

Question 10

(Motor unit synchronisation)
_________________________
refers to the simultaneous activation of two or more motor units resulting in increased force production

Answer 10

Motor unit synchronisation refers to the simultaneous activation of two or more motor units resulting in increased force production.

Question 11

(Motor unit synchronisation)

that motor unit synchronisation is more related to ________________compared to the magnitude of force produced

Answer 11

Force production

Question 12

What is Neuromuscular inhibition and what may it negatively affects

Answer 12

A reduction in the voluntary neural drive of a given muscle group during voluntary muscle actions.

Affects
Force production
Neural feedback received from muscles
Joint receptors

Question 13

(Bodyweight exercises)
Bodyweight exercises have several advantages including being specific to the individual’s anthropometrics and muscle/tendon insertion, the inclusion of closed chain-based exercises, the ability to train multiple muscle groups simultaneously, a focus on __________, and its accessibility and versatility compared to other training methods

Answer 13

Improving

Question 14

Most common limitation of bodyweight exercises is
the inability to continue to provide
______________________________ to the athlete,
preventing a significant transfer to absolute strength
measures

Answer 14

Overload stimulus

Question 15

Differences between free weights and machine weights exercises

Answer 15

Free weights can be solely focused upon recruiting muscle stabilisers to the greatest extent

Whilist machine weight exercises focuses on isolation

Question 16

(Training with weightlifting movements)

Weightlifting exercises produce the _____________________ compared to other types of exercise.

mechanical function, morphological adaptations, neuromuscular adaptations, and performance compared to
concentric, isometric, and traditional (eccentric/concentric) training

Answer 17

Similar or greater adaptations in mechanical function
