Question 6

biomechanical speficity

Answer 6

specific to the type of muscle contractions

Question 7

Answer 7

environment replicates competitive conditions

Question 7

examples of ways to incorporate overload

Answer 7

increase intensity
increase reps
decrease rest

Question 8

Answer 8

three phase response to any form of stressor

Question 9

what are the 3 phase of GAS

Answer 9

alarm phase
resistance phase
exhaustion phase

Question 10

what is the alarm phase

Answer 10

initial response to a stimulus
body experience a shock = performance decreases

Question 11

what is the resisteance / adaptation phase

Answer 11

body recovers
repairs damage tissue
replenish energy stores

Question 12

exhaustion phase

Answer 12

when stressor is too intense the body becomes exhaused

Question 13

what is progression

Answer 13

gradual increase in stimuli intensity

Question 14

what are the key elements of progression

Answer 14

gradual increase
overload principle
an individual approach
periodisation

Question 15

what is the difference between progression and overloadd

Answer 15

progression is long term training plan where as overload is single sessions

Question 16

what is overtraining

Answer 16

when someone exceeds their bodys ability to recover

Question 19
