Preventing Injuries through Fitness Training Chapter 4

An approach to conditioning that attempts to bring about peak performance while reducing injuries and over-training is known as:

• Cross Training

• Periodization

• Constancy

• Specificity

What principle explains the reason a cross country runner does not want to train by sprinting?

• SAID

• Conditioning

• Overload

• DAPRE

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

• Isometric

• Isotonic

• Isokinetic

• Isodynamic

The stretch method that uses an extreme stretch that is held for an extended period of time is:

• Static stretch

• Dynamic stretch

• Ballistic stretch

• PNF stretch

The ability of the body to undergo prolonged whole body activity or to resist stresses during prolonged activity is:

• Strength training

• Power

• Cardio respiratory endurance

• Circuit training

It is believed that proper warm-up will prevent and/or reduce strains by increasing:

• Flexibility

• Power

• Strength

• All of the above

An exercise performed by doing a maximal eccentric stretch immediately preceding a concentric contraction is called:

• Free exercise

• Calisthenics

• Plyometric exercise

• Isotonic exercise

The relaxation of what muscle occurs as a response to a contraction of the opposing muscle

• Agonist

• Antagonist

• Static

• Ballistic

When a sprinter runs the 50 yard dash he/she is primarily using which type of muscle fiber?

• Muscle spindles

• Golgi tendon organs

• Fast twitch

• Slow twitch

All of the following describe cardiovascular exercise affects on the heart except:

• Increase resting heart rate

• Increase cardiac output

• Increase stroke volume

• Increase aerobic capacity
