Domain II: Program design and implementation Flashcards
Interval Training
Short bursts of high intensity exercise which alternate with periods of rest. Typically used to improve aerobic capacity as well as anaerobic endurance.
Compound Sets
Any exercise program that involves the pairing of two or more exercises for the same body part.
Extrinsic Motivation
Refers to the motivation that influences behavior from outside sources like social or material rewards.
Intrinsic Motivation
Refers to the motivation that influences behavior from inside sources like one’s desire for personal achievement or satisfaction.
Plyometrics
High intensity exercises that involve repeated rapid stretching and contracting of muscles such as jumping.
Physical Activity readiness Questionnaire
Also called the PAR-Q, it is a medical questionnaire used as a screening document to prescribe safe and effective exercises and protocols.
Ratings of Perceived Exertion
A scale which measures a person’s perceived level of exertion on a rating system from 0 to 10.
Static Stretching
Holding a stretch in an elongated position for a specific period. The stretch is held passively for the chosen muscle for the purpose of improving flexibility.
Talk Test
Measures the ability to speak while exercising. Breathing is observed as intensity varies.
Process goal
A goal that is achieved by completing a task like a workout which fits into a longer term strategy or goal.
Product goal
A goal that is achieved by a variable which can be measures such as a weight loss reduction or decrease in resting heart rate.
Overtraining syndrome
An imbalance between a training protocol and rest and recovery efforts. Can result in disruptive sleeping habits, injuries, reduced performance and loss of enthusiasm for training.
One Rep Maximum
An amount of weight that can be moved to generate one maximal contraction prior to temporary muscle fatigue.
Dynamic stretching
A form of stretching which takes joints through a full range of motion while moving continuously. A popular form of stretching done as a warm up prior to spots activities.
