Resistance Exercise HW

Question 1

Which is NOT an element of muscle performance?

Strength

Flexibility

Power

Endurance

Answer 1

flexibility

Question 2

Which principle (overload, SAID, or reversibility) states that exercise parameters should be determined to create specific training to meet the patient’s functional needs and goals?

Answer 2

SAID

Question 3

Which principle (overload, SAID, or reversibility) states that to improve muscle performance, a resistance load must be applied which is greater than that which it is accustomed?

Answer 3

overload

Question 4

Which principle (overload, SAID, or reversibility) states that maintenance is required in order to avoid loss of strength gains?

Answer 4

reversibility

Question 5

Isometric exercise involves muscle contraction with no change in muscle length or joint movement.

True
False

Answer 5

true

Question 6

A 21-year-old college football athlete is performing plyometric training to increase upper extremity power. The physical therapist’s plan of care includes throwing 50 passes at a stationary target, then 50 passes at a moving target. This is called:

the detraining principle

the overload principle

the specificity of training

the transfer of training

Answer 6

the specificity of training

Question 7

During the maintenance phase of a resistance program, which factors should be decreased following a 2 to 3-week layoff from exercising?

load and volume

repetition maximum and mode

resistance and zone

volume and duration

Answer 7

load and volume

Question 8

Documented strength gains in an unexercised antagonistic muscle or muscle group is an example of which principle?

the overload principle

the reversibility principle

the SAID principle

the transfer of training principle

Answer 8

the transfer of training principle

Question 9

What is the most appropriate intensity range for resistance training for most healthy adults?

30 to 40% of the repetition maximum

40 to 70% of the repetition maximum

70 to 80% of the repetition maximum

80 to 90% of the repetition maximum

Answer 9

40 to 70% of the repetition maximum

Question 10

Near the end of an exercise session a PTA observes a patient exhibiting symptoms of acute muscle fatigue. Which of these will not be observed?

inability to achieve full ROM

completion of requested motions using substitute motions

the ability to only do low intensity activities

tremulous movements of the target muscle

Answer 10

the ability to only do low intensity activities

Question 11

During strength training the target muscle is worked to the point of fatigue. Which of these is true regarding the recovery time for this muscle?

during recovery a build-up of lactic acid will lead to delayed onset muscle soreness

full recovery of the exercised muscle will generally require 1 to 2 days

microtrauma in the muscle may require up to 3 weeks to fully recover

with light activity the muscle will almost completely recover in 3 to 4 minutes

Question 12

an activity in which dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force applied manually or mechanically

Answer 12

resistance exercse

Question 13

the systematic practice of using muscle force to raise, lower, or control heavy external loads for a relatively low number of repetitions or over a short period of time

Answer 13

strength straining

Question 14

related to the strength and speed of movement and is defined as the work produced by a muscle per unit of time

Answer 14

muscle power

Question 15

the ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly against an external load, generate and sustain tension, and resist fatigue over an extended period of time

Answer 15

endurance training
