Said Principle

Question 1

Mechanical specificity

Answer 1

Refers to weight and movements placed on the body

Question 2

Muscular endurance of the legs requires light weight and high repetitions

Answer 2

Mechanical specificity

Question 3

developing maximal strength in the chest, heavy weights must be used during chest exercises

Answer 3

Mechanical specificity

Question 4

Neuromuscular specificity

Answer 4

Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection

Question 5

To develop higher levels of stability while pushing, chest exercises will need to be performed with controlled unstable exercises at a slow speed

Answer 5

Neuromuscular specificity

Question 6

To develop higher levels of strength exercises should be performed in a more stable environment with heavier loads to place more of an emphasis on the prime mover

Answer 6

Neuromuscular specificity

Question 7

To develop higher levels of power you need to use low weight high velocity contractions performed in a plyometric manner

Answer 7

Neuromuscular specificity

Question 8

Metabolic specificity

Answer 8

Refers to the energy demands placed on the body

Question 9

To develop endurance training will require prolonged bouts of exercises with minimal rest periods between sets which uses aerobic pathways

Answer 9

Metabolic specificity

Question 10

To develop maximal strength or power training will require longer rest periods so the intensity of each bout of exercises remains high using anaerobic pathway

Answer 10

Metabolic specificity
