Training and Conditioning

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

• Cross training

• Periodization

• Constancy

• Specificity

Which of the following describes the time when conditioning is dedicated to physical and mental restoration?

• Preparatory period

• Preseason

• Competition period

• Transition period

Which of the following best describes the type of training that should be done during preseason. 

•  Power phase

• Endurance phase

• Strength phase

• Competition phase

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

The predominance of one type of muscle fiber over another in the human body (eg. Fast Twitch - Slow Twitch) results primarily from:

• A conditioning program

• Gender

• Age

•  Inherited genetic factors

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 a long period (30 sec) of time is:

• Static stretch

• Dynamic stretch

• Ballistic stretch

• PNF stretch

The ability of the body to undergo prolonged whole body, large muscle activity is: 

• Strength training

• Power Training

• Cardiorespiratory Endurance

• Circuit Training

How many minutes of gradual warm-up are required to bring the body to a state of readiness so that it can perform at peak levels?

• 2 to 3

• 5 to 10

• 10 to 15

• 15 to 30

An exercise that involves a rapid stretch of a muscle eccentrically immediately followed by a rapid concentric contraction is called: 

•  Free exercise

• Calisthenics

• Plyometric exercise

• Isotonic exercise
