Unit 1: Resistance Training Concepts

Question 0

Obesity

Answer 0

The condition of being considerably overweight, and refers to a person with a body mass index of 30 or greater, or who is at least 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height

Question 1

Muscle Imbalance

Answer 1

Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint

Question 2

Overweight

Answer 2

Refers to a person with a body mass index of 25 to 29.9, or who is between 25 to 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height

Question 3

Blood Lipids

Answer 3

Also known as cholesterol and triglycerides, blood lipids are carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules known as high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL)

Question 4

Diabetes Mellitus

Answer 4

Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins

Question 5

Deconditioned

Answer 5

A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability

Question 6

Proprioception

Answer 6

The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanireceptors that sense body position and limb movement

Question 7

Proprioceptively Enriched Enviroment

Answer 7

An unstable (yet controllable) physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms

Question 8

Phases of Training

Answer 8

Smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training

Question 9

Muscular Endurance

Answer 9

A muscle’s ability to contract for an extended period

Question 10

Neuromuscular Efficiency

Answer 10

The ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion

Question 11

Prime Mover

Answer 11

The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power

Question 12

Superset

Answer 12

Set of two exercises that are performed back-to-back, without any rest time between them

Question 13

Rate of Force Production

Answer 13

Ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time

Question 14

General Adaption Syndrome

Answer 14

A term used to describe how the body responds and adapts to stress

Question 15

Alarm Reaction

Answer 15

The alarm reaction is the initial reaction to a stressor

Question 16

Delayed-onset Muscle Soreness

Answer 16

Pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity

Question 17

Resistance Development

Answer 17

The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor

Question 18

Exhaustion

Answer 18

Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion or distress to the system

Question 19

Periodization

Answer 19

Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages

Question 20

Principle of Specificity or Specific Adaption to Imposed Demands (SAID principle)

Answer 20

Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it

Question 21

Mechanical Specificity

Answer 21

Refers to the weight and movements placed on the body

Question 22

Neuromuscular Specificity

Answer 22

Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection

Question 23

Metabolic Specificity

Answer 23

Refers to the energy demand placed on the body

Question 24

Muscular Endurance

Answer 24

The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time

Question 25

Muscular Hypertrophy

Answer 25

Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension

Question 26

Strength

Answer 26

The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome an external load

Question 27

Power

Answer 27

Ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time

Question 28

Vertical Loading

Answer 28

Alternating body parts trained from set to set, starting from the upper extremity and moving to the lower extremity

Question 29

Horizontal Loading

Answer 29

Performing all sets of an exercise or body part before moving on to the next exercise or body part
