SM2 Chapter 4: Preventing Injuries Through Fitness Training

An approach to conditioning that attempts to bring about peak performance while reducing injuries and overtraining is defined as: 

• cross training
• periodization
• constancy
• specificity

Which of the following describes the time when conditioning is dedicated to unstructured recreational activities and physical restoration? 

• In-season
• Preseason
• Off-season
• Postseason

A soccer player running ten 120 yd sprints in under 20 seconds each with a 1 minute walking recovery period between each sprint is an example of: 

• Continuous training
• Fartlek training
• Interval training
• Conditioning

Increasing the strenuousness of exercise to a consistently higher level through maximum or near-maximum stimulation is an application of what principle? 

• Overtraining
• Conditioning
• Overload
• DAPRE

Hopping, bounding and depth jumps are forms of: 

• Isokinetic exercises
• Plyometric exercises
• Isotonic exercises
• Circuit training

Which strength training method changes the length of the muscle while the contraction is performed at a constant velocity? 

• Isometric
• Isotonic
• Isokinetic
• Isodynamic

The stretching method that uses an extreme stretch that is held for an extended period of time is which of the following? 

• Static stretch
• Active stretch
• Dynamic stretch
• PNF stretch

All the following are examples of closed kinetic chain exercises except: 

• Mini-squats
• Seated knee extensions
• Lateral step ups
• Push ups

A dynamic warm-up prior to the start of practice or competition can last how long? 

• No more than 10 minutes
• Between 5-10 minutes
• No less than 15 minutes
• Between 20 to 30 minutes

It is believed that a proper dynamic warm-up will do all the following except: 

• Enhance coordination and motor ability
• Stimulates the nervous system
• Increase muscle soreness
• Forces focus and concentration
