Module 8 The Fatigue Of Resistance Exercise

Question 1

Fatigue from exercise should
be thought of a two-domain
concept. Those domains are?

A) Contractile function and
homeostasis
B) Arousal and neuromuscular
propogation
C) Perceived and performance
fatigability

Answer 1

C) Perceived and performance
fatigability

Question 2

What does the acronym
POMS stand for?

A) Performance of muscle stability
B) Profile of mood state
C) Profile of muscle strength
D) none of the answers listed

Answer 2

C) Profile of mood state

Question 3

What seperates functional
overreaching (FOR) from
Nonfunctional overreaching
(NFOR)?

A) NFOR can cause a larger
postive rebound in performance
after a period of rest when
compared to FOR.
B) No super-compensation is
realised in a NFOR state.
C) functional overreaching refers to
within session changes

Answer 3

B) No super-compensation is
realised in a NFOR state.

Question 4

Recovery of performance
fatiguability markers such as
%VA, MVC and resting twitch
measures takes how long to
return to baseline following a
RT session?

A) 48-72 hours
B) 12 hours
C) 96 hours

Answer 4

A) 48-72 hours

Question 5

Which performance indicator
of fatigue usually shows the
largest acute decrement?

A) MS activation
B) Resting twitch measures
C) % VA

Answer 5

B) Resting twitch measures

Question 6

Do sex differences exist in
time recovery trends following
resistance training?

A) Yes, males will shower a faster
return to baseline
B) No. Whilst, absolute differences
exist, trends will be similar

Answer 6

No. Whilst, absolute differences
exist, trends will be similar

Question 7

Is overtraining syndrome
something easy to do within a
resistance training program
setting?
A) No
B) Yes

Answer 7

A) No

Question 8

The McCaulley et al (2009)
paper showed increase
sensitivity in detecting fatigue
using what variable?

A) EMG
B) RFD (Rate of force
development)
C) Creatine kinase

Answer 8

B) RFD (Rate of force
development)
