The table shows four stages of an aerobic endurance plan.
What does the change in level of intensity from Stage I to Stage II represent? 

• Progressive overload
• Reversibility
• Specificity
• Variety

Which statement best describes the principle of reversibility?

• Changing training duration prior to competition
• Changing training intensity prior to competition
• The loss of training benefits with reduced performance
• The loss of muscle glycogen due to increased training demands

Which of the following is an example of the principle of reversibility?

• Decreased training intensity leading up to a major competition
• Decreased level of performance as a result of a break in training
• Completing exercises for opposing muscle groups in one session
• Achieving a lower time in an 800m time trial on a second attempt

Which of the following best demonstrates the principle of progressive overload?

• Ensuring that an athlete's HR is below 70-80% if MHR during each session
• Gradually increasing the weight & number of reps for strength training exercises
• Participating in a variety of activities to develop a range of muscle groups
• Scheduling 1-2 training sessions each week to maximise training benefits

How could progressive overload be included into the program?

• The frequency being maintained at 3 x week
• The time being decreased to 20-30 mins
• The intensity being increased to 75-85% of MHR
• The type of activity being changed to cycling

Which principle of training has the athlete displayed from Weeks 6 to 12?

• Peaking
• Progressive overload
• Reversibility
• Specificity

Which of the following principles of training would best explain why an elite lawn bowlermay not necessarily be an elite basketballer?

• Progressive overload
• Reversibility
• Specificity
• Reliability

Which exercise intensity indicates the greatest potential for gain in aerobic conditioning?

• W
• X
• Y
• Z

Which principle of training refers to aligning training activities with the demands of a particular sport?

• Variety
• Specificity
• Reversibility
• Warm up & cool down

Which is an example of specificity in strength training?

• A
• B
• C
• D
