Planning and Organization of Training: Pt 2

Question 1

The problem in periodization: inconvenient truth:

Answer 1

• something that seems normal today made sense at a particular time in the past, and survived despite the eclipse of the justification for that choice
• QWERTY keyboard
• weight training in adolescents compromising skeletal health

Question 2

Limitations of Selye’s GAS model: portrayal of stress as a predictable biologically mediated phenomenon was undermined by….

Answer 2

• the demonstrable effects on non-physical factors on physiological responses
• increasingly convincing evidence that stress responses were not generalized and non-specific, but highly individual

Question 3

The solution for the inconvenient truth:

Answer 3

• an improved and more inclusive way to describe how human’s manage stress
• allostasis > homeostasis

Question 4

Allostasis:

Answer 4

a set of collaborative processes that strategically deploy resources to preserve functionality in a unpredictable and dynamically changing environment

Question 5

Allostasis recognizes that the neurobiological imperative is not to seek _____ ______, but to sensitively pre-empt and respond to emerging challenges by ….

Answer 5

• homeostatic permanency (stability through constancy)

- orchestrating multi-level system-wide coordinated compensations (stability through change)

Question 6

Solution to the inconvenient truth: a realization that the _____ and _____ demands imposed by training are the primary culprits for our body’s ____ ____ and the ____ ____ that proceed it.

Answer 6

• mechanical
• energetic
• stress response
• fitness adaptations

Question 7

The adaptations brought on from training are closely tied to and modulated by….

Answer 7

background psycho-emotional influences

Question 8

Need to understand the relationships between stress and….

Answer 8

• stress and injury

- stress and performance

Question 9

Biological and non-biological filters personalizing the training-induced stress response include…

Answer 9

• genetic inheritance
• personal predispositions and traits
• stress history and resilience
• prior training and injury history
• current stress status

Question 10

Current stress status includes:

Answer 10

• psycho-emotional state
• cognitive state
• environmental stressors
• residual fatigue
• nutritional factors

Question 11

What are the after effects to a training stimulus?

Answer 11

• fatigue response can be neurological and metabolic
• high-volume exercise decreases circulating testosterone
• high-intensity exercise increases circulating testosterone
• high-volume, moderate-intensity exercises increases growth hormone
• low volume, very high-intensity training has no growth hormone response

Question 12

Overreaching:

Answer 12

short-term overreaching is the deliberate imposition of stressful training periods resulting in a large fitness and fatigue after-effect

Question 13

Overtraining:

Answer 13

may occur when the persistent addition of fatigue after-effects results in the depletion of the athlete’s adaptive abilities

Question 14

FFM: in the periodization of mesocycles, inverse relationship between ____ and ____ is very important.

Answer 14

• volume

- intensity

Question 15

Higher _____ and ____ of training may only be tolerable _____ in the training season when ____ has not accumulated.

Answer 15

• frequency
• volume
• early
• fatigue

Question 16

Higher volume training can boost ____ abilities benefiting ____ training.

Answer 16

• adaptive

- future

Question 17

Manipulation of _____ has more predictable outcomes than manipulation of _____.

Answer 17

• intensity

- volume

Question 18

Unidirectional training can allow….

Answer 18

overreaching in one physical quality followed by overreaching of another physical quality with limited rest

Question 19

Unidirectional training is possible due to…

Answer 19

each physical qualities unique fatigue after-effect which may not compound

• post activation potentiation

Question 23

Weekly: maximal ____ should always precede maximal _____, maximal ____ always done last.

Answer 23

• intensity
• strength
• work

Question 24

Fatigue after-effects of max ______ occur shortly after session and negatively effect maximal _____.

Answer 24

• intensity

- strength

Question 25

Examples of variety in strength training:

Answer 25

• 3 weeks of loading followed by 1 week of unloading

- 2 weeks of loading followed by 1 week of unloading

Question 26

Sources of variety in strength training:

Answer 26

• training load (volume and intensity)
• type of contraction (concentric, eccentric, and isometric)
• speed of contraction
• the exercise
