Q

____ is the change in momentum resulting from a force, measured as the product of force and time.
A basic objective of training is to move the force–time curve up and to the left, generating greater impulse and momentum during the limited time over which force is applied.

speed of movement
volume
rest period length
intensity

A

speed of movement

17
Q

The most important factor for the development of muscular strength is…
the number of sets completed.
the number of reps within a set.
training volume.
training intensity.

A

training intensity

18
Q

According to previous LECTURE VIDEOS, what is the minimum recommended resistance training frequency for athletes?

A

2x per week

19
Q

An athlete performs a leg press for 3 sets of 15 repetitions using 55% of their 1RM. Which variable of muscular fitness would improve the MOST at this volume and intensity?

A

muscular endurance

20
Q

If an athlete performed 3 sets of a front squat exercise using heavy weight for 3 repetitions per set, twice per week, which muscles and/or muscle groups would adapt/change THE MOST with this performance of this exercise at this volume (# of repetitions per set) and intensity (i.e., weight/load being lifted)?

A

quads and glut max

21
Q

If an athlete performed 3 sets of a deadlift exercise using heavy weight for 3 repetitions per set, twice per week, which variable of muscular fitness would improve THE MOST at this volume (# of repetitions per set) and intensity (i.e., weight/load being lifted)?

A

muscular strength

22
Q

If an athlete’s available training time per session is limited, it is best to emphasize assistance exercises over core exercises in order to maximize efficiency. TF

23
Q

Power exercises (the Olympic lifts, medicine ball throws, etc.) should be thought of as cardiorespiratory (i.e., aerobic) “conditioning” exercises with minimal (i.e., <30sec) rest between sets.
TF

24
Q

An exercise intended to improve power output should be performed as explosively as possible.

TF

25
High intensity (>85% 1RM), low volume (<6 reps/set) training at any movement speed will ALWAYS result in the greatest improvements in muscular power (vs. all other variables of muscular fitness). TF
False
26
An athlete performs 4 sets of a bench press for 8 repetitions per set using 75% of his 1RM. Which variable of muscular fitness would improve the most at this intensity and volume?
muscular hypertrophy
27
If you performed a back squat 2 times per week with very heavy weight for three sets of four (3 x 4) repetitions for six weeks, which variable of muscular fitness would improve the most at the end of the six week cycle?
muscular strength
28
what type of adaptation will plyometric training bring about?
Increased power
29
What type of adaptation will sprint and interval training bring about?
sprint and interval training
30
What type of adaptation will low volume very high intensity resistance training bring about?
muscular strength
31
Which of the following training volumes has the potential to increase muscular hypertrophy the most in an advanced athlete? 1 set of 5 repetitions 4 sets of 5 repetitions 4 sets of 10 repetitions 1 set of 10 repetitions
4 set of 10 repetitions
32
The _____ _____ ___ combines mechanical and neurophysiological mechanisms and is the basis of plyometric exercise. A rapid eccentric muscle action stimulates the stretch reflex and storage of elastic energy, which increases the force produced during the subsequent concentric action.
The stretch-shortening cycle
33
What are the major muscle groups?
Arms – Biceps, Triceps * Shoulders * Chest * Abdomen * Back * Hips * Legs – Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Calves
