Principles of Physical Training: Adaptation to Stress

It is the process of the body getting accustomed to a particular exercise or training program through repeated exposure.

• Physical Training

• Adaptation

• Progression

• Training Exercise

Training at an appropriate intensity and gradually increasing the amount of stress placed on the body.               

• Progressive Overload

• Adaptation

• Intensity

• Type

Focusing training on activities and exercises relevant to an individual's sporting goals and needs.

• Specificity

• Intensity

• Adaptation

• Type

This dimension refers to how often one should participate in physical activities.

• Intensity

• Time

• Frequency

• None of the above

Kim Bok-Joo, a weightlifter, performs squats with 10 repetitions at 150 pounds. After 2 weeks of lifting this weight, Bok-Joo notices the 150 pounds feels easier during the lift and afterward causes less fatigue. She adds 20 pounds and continues with the newly established stress of 170 pounds. Kim Bok-Joo will continue to get stronger until his/her maximum capacity has been reached, what principle did the weightlifter apply?

• Specificity

• Progressive Overload

• Reversibility

• Individual differences

Capt. Monkey D. Luffy wanted to improve his flexibility for his upcoming cruise. He figured it is helpful to perform Stretching Exercises such as standing side stretch, shoulder stretch, and the forward hang. What principle of physical training did Capt. Luffy apply?

• Reversibility

• Specificity

• Progressive Overload

• Individual Differences

Michael is a Triathlon athlete, he trains regularly with his running, swimming and cycling six times a week. But, a sudden typhoon hit his province that causes him to undergo minimal exercises at home. After a month, Michael goes back to his scheduled physical training routine and continued to be more productive. What principle of training was shown in the scenario?

• Adaptation

• Reversibility

• Progressive overload

• Physical Training

Tanjiro and Giyu are training to improve their Water Breathing Art with a goal to develop their breathing cycle and improve lung capacity to lengthen time under water. Since Giyu is more adapted to the situation and has mastered his breathing technique, he proceeds to Dryland Breathing Exercises whilst Tanjiro is yet in Trickle Breathing Exercises. What Principle of Physical training is applied?

• Specificity

• Individual Differences

• Progressive Overload

• Adaptation

Volume (frequency x intensity x time) is the total amount of physical work performed in the course of an extended exercise program only.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Performing the same amount of exercise during every training session will maintain fitness but will not increase it because the training stress is below the threshold required to produce adaptation.

• TRUE

• FALSE
