Question 9

What is periodization?

Answer 9

• method of organizing training to elicit physiological adaptations that transfer to optimal performance
• planned variation

Question 10

Rationales for periodization:

Answer 10

• state of an organism fluctuates over the training period
• management of physiological processes elicited through exercise
• concurrent vs sequential training of physical fitness components
• transfer of training
• peaking

Question 11

Training period: _____ and _____ demands change with time.

Answer 11

• physical

- psychological

Question 12

Training period: emphasizing one physical fitness component may result in….

Answer 12

• detraining of other physical fitness components

- diminishing returns/accommodation

Question 13

Fitness-fatigue model:

Answer 13

• stimulus –> response
• single stimulus disrupts homeostasis
• physiologic processes occur to restore homeostasis

Question 14

General adaptation syndrome:

Answer 14

• stimulus –> response –> adaptation
• stimuli disrupting homeostasis presented repeatedly
• physiologic processes occur to change the condition of the organism/cell

Question 15

Fitness after effects of fitness fatigue model:

Answer 15

positive responses

Question 16

Fatigue after effects of fitness fatigue model:

Answer 16

negative responses

Question 17

General adaptation syndrome was developed by ____ ____ to explain ….

Answer 17

• Hans Selye

- response to stress (continuous/prolonged stress)

Question 18

FFM effect:

Answer 18

single stimulus

Question 19

FFM has ____ effects.

Answer 19

simultaneous positive and negative effects

Question 20

FFM manage ….

Answer 20

acute to short-term changes in physiologic state

Question 21

GAS effect:

Answer 21

cumulative effect of stressors

Question 22

GAS has _____ effects:

Answer 22

• initial negative effect

- delayed positive response

Question 23

GAS manage…

Answer 23

short, moderate, and long term fluctuations and adaptations in physiologic state

Question 24

What do we have to consider with concurrent training?

Answer 24

• effect of concurrent training of multiple physical fitness qualities
• management of training volume and frequency
• interaction between fitness and fatigue responses for different fitness qualities

Question 25

Describe management of training volume and frequency with concurrent training.

Answer 25

• strength training 3 days/week
• cardiovascular training 3 days/week
• strength & cardiovascular training 6 days/week???

Question 26

Describe the 2 types of interactions between fitness and fatigue responses for different fitness qualities in concurrent training:

Answer 26

• positive interaction

- negative interaction (interference)

Question 27

We need to manage _____ of concurrent training.

Answer 27

limitations

Question 28

In sequential development of physical fitness, we need to capitalize on successive effects of improved physical fitness, including:

Answer 28

• neuromotor –> anaerobic power
• strength –> anaerobic power
• anaerobic capacity –> aerobic capacity
• flexibility –> strength

Question 29

Training –> _____ _____ –> _____ _____ OR ….

Answer 29

Training –> physiologic adaptations –> improved performance OR increase in physical fitness

Question 30

Increased physical fitness may not equal….

Answer 30

improved performance

Question 31

Examples of when increased physical fitness may not equal improved performance:

Answer 31

• strength training –> quadriceps strength = inc. vertical jump??
• interval training –> VO2 max = dec. cycling race time??

Question 32

Transfer of training:

Answer 32

“learning” to use physiologic adaptation

Question 33

Peaking:

Answer 33

• maximize performance for important events
• optimize all requisite physical fitness qualities
• minimize fatigue
• maximize transfer of training

Question 34

Matveyev (classic) model: microcycles:

Answer 34

• smallest cycle

- collection of multiple days required to elicit training effect

Question 35

Matveyev (classic) model: mesocycles:

Answer 35

collection of microcycles to elicit desired intermediate training objective

Question 36

Matveyev (classic) model: macrocycle:

Answer 36

collection of mesocycles within a period of training

Question 37
