Question 1

General Adaptive Syndrome and 3 stages

Answer 1

How body responds and adapts to stress

Alarm- initial reaction. Activates protective processes

Resistance Development-body increases functional capacity to adapt to stressor. Once adapted, increased stress needed to produce new response.

Exhaustion-stressor is too much or too long for system. Causes breakdown or injury

Question 2

Principle of Specificity and 3 types

Answer 2

Body will specifically adapt to type of demand placed on it

Mechanical-weight and movements placed on body

Neuromuscular-Speed of contraction and exercise selection

Metabolic- energy demand

Question 3

Principle of progressive overload

Answer 3

training stimulus must exceed current capabilities to elicit optimal physical, physiological, and performance adaptations

Question 4

Principle of Variation

Answer 4

Keeps a person from reaching exhaustion while maximizing overload
Important rationale for challenging kinetic chain with a wide variety of exercises

Question 5

Periodization and 3 plans

Answer 5

Dividing a training program into distinct periods following OPT model. Phase up every 4-6 weeks

Annual-Macrocycle
Monthly-mesocycle
weekly-microcycle

Question 6

Undulating periodization

Answer 6

Changing OPT phase or variables daily or weekly to train multiple adaptations while still allowing for recovery.

Question 7

Acute Variables & FITTE

Answer 7

Frequency-number of training sessions in a time frame
Intensity- level of demand on body
Time-length of time engaged in an activity
Type-of activity performed
Enjoyment-Amount of pleasure derived from a training session

Question 8

High volume low intensity 3

Answer 8

Increase muscle cross sectional area
Improve blood lipid serum profile
Increase metabolic rate

Question 9

Low volume high intensity 3

Answer 9

Increase rate of force
Increase motor unit recruitment
Increase motor unit synchronization
