Principles of Training and Optimising Training

If Usain Bolt's trainer ensures that his training targets the anaerobic energy systems, which principle of training is being applied?

• Overload

• Reversibility

• Specificity

If a boxer decreases their recovery period during interval training, which FITT principle are they overloading?

• Frequency

• Intensity

• Time

Following the principle of specificity, which component of fitness would a road cyclist focus on?

• Flexibility

• Speed

• Cardiovascular fitness

Which of the following is likely to be a cause of reversibility and de-adaptation?

• An injury

• Increased intensity

• Resting

How would a long jumper increase the intensity of weight training?

• Greater number of reps

• Less recovery time

• Increased resistance

Which of the following components of an effective warm up increases the deep muscle temperature?

• Stretching

• Pulse Raiser

• Sport-specific activity

For what reason is an active cool down completed after every training and competitive session?

• Increased coordination of antagonistic pairs

• Increased core temperature

• Removal of lactic acid

Why are sport-specific activities completed as part of a warm up?

• To increase coordination of antagonistic pairs

• To raise the pulse

• To increase oxygen transportation
